1. Multiple voting

worthless internet poll.

[msongs]

2. to vote more than once all ya have to do is clear your cookies and go back nt

[LonePirate]

3. Those results are nowhere close to previous results. Bernie's fans definitely skewed that poll.

[Blue_true]

10. Awww, let them have their fun. Real voting will start soon enough.

And then they switch into their conspiracy theory mode once the trend become clear to them.

[RandySF]

4. Looks like it's been freeped

[WeekiWater]

5. This will be used as proof that he was cheated by the DNC. NT

[TwilightZone]

11. Ok, that made me laugh....

[DURHAM D]

6. Says more about Kos than the Democratic primary. nt

[shanny]

8. Our polls are the same. nt

[DURHAM D]

9. Who is "our" ???

[wasupaloopa]

7. Not a sientific poll. Vote early and vote often.

[forklift]

12. Thanks for the laugh

[workinclasszero]

13. GO BERNIE!!

[Noreastern]

14. This diary reveals how the poll was freeped in Bernie's favor

15. Poll freeped...

Useless!

17. Roflmao

Well then. I guess that settles it!

[honest.abe]

18. Bernie supporters gaming the system.

They are acting just like RWNJs.

19. Unsurprising result.

I do find these words funny:

Humans are kosher. I like that the poll measures online intensity, and as of now, Bernie still has a great deal of online residual support.

Yet his ability to draw 60 percent of the Daily Kos straw poll vote is long gone. The best he could muster was a 3-point boost. It’s painfully clear he doesn’t realize it, but he’s not winning shit this cycle.

I think it's a bit silly to hype a candidate's numbers being either high or low in such a poll.

[namahage]

36. Unsurprising indeed.

That Bernie Sanders "supporters" didn't know when to stop, and got the whole poll thrown out as a result:

Update: Due to user error—mine—I failed to turn on a function that makes it harder to cheat when voting. As a result, people were able to turn their browsers to incognito mode and repeatedly rapid-fire vote—something done extensively by Bernie Sanders supporters. As a result, these results are not an accurate reflection of candidate online support, and will be discarded.

[David__77]

37. That's his story.

...

[workinclasszero]

20. So if this poll was freeped?

IF Sanders voters did that why didn’t the other candidates voters do the same?

Guess they don’t care or they are so few in numbers they didn’t have an impact.

Oh well, it’s all good.

[namahage]

21. Who says they are all Sanders voters? n/t

[themaguffin]

23. The point is that it happened and it's juvenile, but also, there's this...

[revmclaren]

28. Honesty maybe....

Odd concept. Not cheating to promote our candidates.

And maybe, just maybe we know that internet polls are crap!



ONLY!!! 2019 and beyond.

[squirecam]

22. Freeped

This poll was freeped and totally useless.

What’s sad is that kos doesn’t care. He encouraged the freeping....but then invalidated the results.

[themaguffin]

24. How did you get that from his comments?

[PDittie]

25. Here's a new one

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/3/5/1839795/-Test-2-W-Poll

Apparently since the polling software allows a large number of choices, I thought I’d create a poll with ALL the choices.

[Go Vols]

31. +1

[Hassin Bin Sober]

32. Thank you!

[samnsara]

26. they sure as hell didnt ask me

[brooklynite]

27. I think we should cancel the Primary...

I mean, nobody will start voting for 10 months, and there hasn't been a single debate, but apparently "we" have a preferred choice, so why bother?

[samplegirl]

29. Biden Brown ticket!!!!!

[Power 2 the People]

30. Wow! I knew he was the front runner but am amazed at the gap.

Let's hope it's more than just a poll.

[ehrnst]

33. This poll results were skewed by freeping, so it's really useless as a poll.

38. Clicky-clicky!

[David__77]

39. Another poll on Daily Kos: Sanders at 69%.

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/3/5/1839795/-Test-2-W-Poll

Whether it was 6% or 69% - should such polls "matter?" I guess that's a matter of personal perspective!
