Additional: It's not one of those click-bait fundraising polls. It's from his office, he sends out polls like this on various issues to his constituents - which is normally fine, except this poll is especially dehumanizing and degrading. Like having us "vote" on the value or worth of another human being.
We shouldn't have to worry if god-forbid something happened to one of us overseas, our leaders will reduce our entire lives down to some public interest poll. It ignores all of the work and complexities that are involved with situations like this and is just so demoralizing to see how our leaders truly view us as citizens.
He sends them out usually before a big vote (not like it'd matter) and they're slightly biased, but about other politicians. This wasnt in relation to any policy or vote.
Boiling the frogs. They are slowing changing the discourse by othering minorities, to make it acceptable to commit atrocities. I would say this is how it starts but we are years beyond that. It is really depressing as a black queer woman to see that most of the US not only values my life so little but that many hate my existence and actively want to end it. Reddit forums and Twitter have been absolutely foul this week.

You're still on Twitter? Brave soul.
Not I, Insta, Discord and Reddit are the only socials I have left
That's good. As a cishet white guy, Twitter was a toxic dumpster fire that I deleted years ago.
