Here are the results of our “What I’m Getting for Christmas” Poll. Politics Plus Polls are not scientific, because those who respond are not balanced according to demographic categories. Therefore, we do not accurately reflect the makeup of the US population. Nevertheless, our polls are usually factually accurate, and more often than not, they reflect thinking of the majority of those who actually do think.
And here on your comments:

I’ve been so very good. But the presents are few and far between. But what I got was so FINE thanks to my sons!!

I’ve been nice, but no presents for me. Decades ago our family decided we were just exchanging shopping lists. So now, instead, we just donate to a charity of choice. Well, except if there were little ones (there aren’t anymore.)
We all like it much better. So now it’s like Thanksgiving, but with flashier decorations.

My Santa Sisters always get my presents from the animal rescue site. We end up giving over $100 every year. About my stocking; I have a purple stocking that almost never gets full. Maybe Santa doesn’t like purple! Tough luck, Santa! LOL

I’ve been very, very nice too but I won’t get any present at all as no friends or relatives left for me in Greece. As Joanne D said “better luck in next life”!

No option applicable, because no stockings in the middle of summer.
And I wouldn’t dare to admit to being naughty for fear of getting coal. ARGH. Isn’t it time to drop that option for PP devotees?

I’d give anything to be in Aussie Land with you, Lona! xxoo

We’re pinching pennies here, (after necessary home improvements), and we’ve decided one present for each other. But a wonderful Christmas dinner with all the fixin’s, as we’ve both been fairly well behaved, according to Santa’s long list. lol

I’ve been very, very nice but I don’t expect anything in my stocking (except maybe my foot,) I’m allergic to wood smoke … so I have no chimney. Oh, well. Better luck in the next life.
I think I’ve been robbed. I was VERY naughty! Where was my silver? My gold? My jewels? My trophy mistress? Scheeeeesch!
On a serious note, the new poll is designed to make you think. You will want to say ‘all’ or ‘most’ of the choices, but I want you to pick just one, not as the only thing, but the single most important thing. Vote and enjoy!
RESIST!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Lona is right … we need to think of something other than actual coal for a booby prize. One of the on-line yarn stores came up, a few years ago, with a pattern for a knitted, then felted, wool “lump of coal.” But I’m sure if we all brainstorm we can come up with something even better.
On the new poll, ordinarily I would go with Climate Change … because if we don’t but the brakes on that, we won’t have any human race to worry about voting rights or income inequality or anything else. But in this opposite world we are now living in, we have to confront a now deeply Republican establishment before we can effectively deal with even Climate Change – and some of those other things have to come first. So I am going to go, this time, with “Stay in Power” – with the caveat that we must address most of those other things in order to stay in power – and also that we need to not just STAY in power, but also to EXPAND our power in order to get this stuff done. (BTW, are health care and income inequality included under human rights, or was that an oversight?)
A booby prize? Hmm . . . how about a “meal” with Trump! It is a guaranteed weight loss plan for the winner as nobody would want to eat that which is on his diet let alone with him!
This may be classified as cruel and inhumane treatment though!
It also wouldn’t fit in a stocking. HE wouldn’t fit in a body stocking, let alone a Christmas stocking.
I have positive feeling regarding the Democrats staying in power I was in favor of many of then… wish we were allowed to have multiple choices.
I would like them to do a complete investigation of tRump and his whole staff. Investigating every inch of him. Hopefully with so much found evidence that he will be taken out of office and our country can return to a somewhat norm.
Hey, didn’t i vote in this one??
You may have voted but not commented. There were 22 votes but only 10 comments, and at least one of those is a duplicate.
We all got cheated at Christmas, no matter how good or bad we were, TomCat. Drumpf is still in the White House, he’s mad as a hatter and there’s no one to talk sense into him left.
Voted. Thx, Tom. As I was reading through the long list of things that we, as concerned citizens are worried about,…I was reading down the list…thinking yes, we need that, we need that, until the very last line, and yes, I am all for that. Absolutely and 100%, ‘stay in power’.
We must address all these issues head on too.
I did not vote in the poll because none of the options applied. Having said that, I agree with Lona: “We all got cheated at Christmas, … Drumpf is still in the White House, …”.
As to the next poll, I will definitely be voting.
Many of you are voting “Stay in Power” as a priority. Consider this:
Thanks and hugs to all.
I’m well aware of that. But I didn’t mean on an individual level, for one thing – I meant as a party. Because what’s the alternative? Republicans undoing anything and everything we accomplish. One step forward, two steps back. There are definitely some individual Democrats I want gone. But I don’t want the party gone.
I think that, if we do what’s right, we won’t have to worry about staying in power.
You and I are in the same place, and I suspect most if not all others here are too. What I DON’T want is for us to play “go along to get along.” There is no surer way for us to lose power. We must be resolute in doing what’s right – in order to stay in power. Prior to Traitor Tot, we have not been good at that.
Agree, and there is a choice that reflects that.
