Half of Gen Z voters — and 1 in 4 U.S. voters overall — have lied to people close to them about who they’re voting for, according to the latest Axios Vibes survey by The Harris Poll.

The findings raise big questions about the limits and future of polling, which relies on voters giving responses reflecting their real-life political behavior.

    I gave you plenty of good reasons for being an asshole.

    You gave plenty of good reasons why their actions make you upset and offend you. This is not the same as them being good reasons to be an asshole. If someone offends you and you are pointlessly an asshole to them as a result, that just makes you an asshole too.

    Maybe if I’m shitty enough, they’ll report me and they’ll put me on a do not call list.

    Another poster here pointed out, from their personal experience do this type of work, that they don’t really care. They just hang up and move to the next person. By getting angry and being an asshole to them is almost certainly pointless and will not have this result. Almost certainly, if your goal is to get removed from these lists, you would be better served to ask them kindly to be put on some do-not-call list. I know it has worked for me.

      Here’s the deal, I truly don’t give a fuck about these people that call me. If they stick around long enough to hear me, that’s on them. If they cry because of what I say, I don’t care. I really truly believe that uninvited solicitation is one of the scummiest things that’s considered acceptable, and everyone that’s a participant can fuck off. I’m an unrepentant asshole because I fucking hate them. There’s your reason.

        This is pretty much what I’ve been saying the whole time. You do you, but don’t act like its anything other than just being an asshole.
