What are you talking about ???? Knife to a gun fight is a common metaphor, It is advocating deadly violence. By your logic, when someone says break a leg, they actually mean, break a leg.

Well, there is a group of people out there who think compromise is a bad thing and that the right is the silent majority, so , I get it.

Is that why you voted twice? A government of, by, & for the people allows you to vote twice? I don't get it.

I voted twice?
I was given 4 choices, of which I chose 1, of 4.

Both are deadly weapons. Obama's statement was MUCH more violent than anything Trump has ever said.

When I view the poll results, I see your name in the first choice & in the fourth choice.

It is not multiple choice poll I voted #4


EDIT: It must be a multiple choice... I did click #1 and then thought and clicked 4. Erase my vote for #1. Why would something like this poll even be multiple choice?

There will be no accuracy.

Even so, some good discussions here. I didn't mean to put a kibosh on it, I just wondered why some voted twice. Perhaps I was 'overthinking' it. After all, a poll is just a poll. Unusual occurences probably happen IRL as well.

There should have been a "The Government" choice option. Both left and right is a little too vague.
