Kind of an odd way to assure someone a poll is "completely anonymous," but I decided to answer Yes so I could take the poll. It was all questions about US national politics and approval/disapproval of various politicians and billionaires. I tried to answer truthfully, but on a few of them "strongly disapprove" is such an understatement that it almost doesn't feel truthful.

A screenshot from a phone with a header that reads "National Opinion Su...". The first question reads

Hello, we are calling on behalf of a market research firm. We are conducting a brief survey about political issues in your area and would like your opinion. Your responses are completely anonymous, and we are not selling anything. Is this DAVID?

The choices are Yes or No.

… I love those lyrics.
I trap you so much!
Yes, I want you to be happy
But don't threaten my happiness
Can't you see I'm walking this threadbare tightrope?
Made out of dental floss stitched
Together with strands of tobacco and dog hair
And it stretches between two precious fantasies, my fantasy of me
And my fantasy of you
