2. US shows historic GDP gains after the Covid Drop. Which of these align with your thoughts?
-
This is just the kind of last second news Trump needs to win! This news will see votes swerve in his direction as he sees momentum in the final days.
-
It might help Trump a little, but despite these gains, we are still far below pre-Covid levels, which means Trump fails the "are you better off 4 years ago" test.
-
The 33% GDP growth is faster than most economists predicted, which will align with Trump's message of the recovery, giving him more credibility on this topic.
-
Economists suggest "actual GDP growth" is a better metric, which shows only 7.4% growth. Trump's economic argument could be countered with this.
-
These gains are likely to be short-lived with Covid cases ticking back up. Trump's economic argument can be countered with this.
-
The record gains only exist because there was a record decline. It's like saying Usain Bolt is the fastest runner again once he takes his first step after having had a stroke.
-
Unemployment is still very high and people are still relying on government money to survive; this will diminish the economy helping Trump in this final week.
-
The economic report does not factor well-paying jobs, full-time or part-time work, etc. so it can't capture how middle class and lower middle class families are doing.
-
This GDP Report also shows that personal income fell in the third quarter. This number might be as important as the GDP #. Voters vote on a personal level not on a abstract GDP level.
-
I don't know what to make of this report, but it seems like it will favor Trump.

I don't know what to make of this report, but it seems like it won't make a difference.

3. Which kind of candidate would you be more likely to support?
-
Social and Economic Conservative who is a trans man and an atheist.
-
Social and Economic Liberal who is an Lutheran minister who has never made more than $40,000 a year.
-
-
4. If you were God, do you think you would be a more just and benevolent God than God?
-
It's impossible to be more just and benevolent than God.
-
Yes. They wouldn't be required to worship me. I wouldn't leave people defenseless in war, poverty, illness, and elsewhere. You'd see more people in heaven. In fact, life would pretty much be like heaven. No reason to test people if I can already predict how they'll respond.
-
No. I would seek more worship and would be willingly more unjust and less benevolent.0

5. Do you think the United States would become a better country if you were given the power to re-write the Constitution and it was automatically ratified?
-
Yes (why, please explain below)
-
No (why, please explain below)
-
I don't know, and I won't explain below.
