Hello VGChartz,

 

After realizing political threads are decently relevant on here, I thought it'd be worth making a poll to see how many gamers engage in politics.  Sure, the sample size will be extremely small, but I felt like doing it regardless. Maybe we'll see something interesting when it comes to VGChartz members.

 

Anyways, here's what you do:

1. Vote(obviously)

2. Explain your opinion if you want

3. That's it. Avoid flame wars and you're good to go.

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

I voted option 4. Politics is a subject that turns good men...cruel.



I pay attention more to my city politically than I do my province, but I do pay attention federally as well.



 

I picked option 4. No, I don't engage in politics especially since they tend to turn adults into babbling morons that attack each other. However, I have kept track due to everyone here talking about them lately. And my gf telling me to read up more on them.

Despite me not supporting Trump, I will say, he has me very entertained by politics lately. I've never been excited for a political debate or political news before him. I can't wait for tonights debate XD



I am very engaged; I do what I can to mount pressure on oppressive governments, and, in some cases, subvert them to the furthest extent that I can get away with.

I voted for the 2.

I don't know nothing about the international ones, but I follow my country's politics.



This year I started paying attention to as much news as I can. Brexit, the Turkey coup attempt, US elections, bla bla bla. But I dislike politics with a passion. It's a popularity contest, and the winner never delivers what they say they will do. And coming from one of the most corrupt countries in the world, I dont trust many politicians.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

It's good to check just in case something might affect you. But more often than it's just arguments about ideology which I find totally worthless.



Well I did canvassing for Justin Trudeau's Liberals last year and I think I won over a lot of the the Young male vote lol :)



Politics is the bane of society.
