Extreme positions on issues are common on DP, but I often wonder how pervasive they are among the readership.

All readers are asked to select all those statements they agree are true or almost certainly true, as well as the "PLEASE SELECT THIS ANSWER" option, which will allow the percentages shown in the poll results to reflect true percentages and apply proper relative scaling to all bars.

The main purpose of this poll is to distinguish between respondents who are absolutely certain a claim is true and those who merely believe a claim is likely to be true or who have no opinion. Respondents who have any reasonable doubt that a claim is true should leave the claim unchecked.

How extreme are you?
 
The outcome of the election has already been determined.

Either Trump or Biden will win. You can bet on it.
I made the same joke a few days ago in one of the hundreds of "It's GUARANTEED now! X is going to win. Y knows he's lost." [insert whoever you want for X and Y] threads littering the board.

It never ceases to amaze me how hard people will work to convince themselves and others that something they want to happen will in fact surely happen, as though they can change reality itself if they want it badly enough.
 
Bumping for more responses.
