Hello everyone!
I've been really curious lately about what correlation there might be between Starcraft race choice and political views. So if you'll indulge me, I'd love to try and make a simple survey of everyone's main race and political stance :-)
To keep it simple, I'll just be using the American Democratic and Republican parties as the reference. I don't expect enough answers to merit further detail anyway.
My question then is: What is your main race in Starcraft, and which party would you rather vote for, if you had to choose? Non-americans (like myself) are also encouraged to respond.
Please respond with one of the following:
Zerg/D Zerg/R Protoss/D Protoss/R Terran/D Terran/R
If you don't want to reveal your political views (or your main race) in public but still want to take part in the survey, PM me. It will be our secret.
THIS IS A SURVEY, NOT A POLITICAL DISCUSSION THREAD. PLEASE DO NOT POST POLITICAL STATEMENTS HERE. Can we manage to keep political discussions to their allotted threads? I think we can!

THE RESULTS ARE IN:
Turnout: 0,01%
Protoss: 25% Terran: 25% Zerg: 50%
Democrats: 50% Republicans: 50%
FINDINGS:
All Protoss players are republicans All Terran players are democrats Zerg is a swing race. It's evenly split with 50% democrats and 50% republicans.
50% of republicans play Protoss 50% of republicans play Zerg No republicans play Terran 50% of democrats play Terran 50% of democrats play Zerg No democrats play Protoss
The political battle between right and left can thus be considered a PvT. Or, perhaps more accurately, a 2v2 P/Z vs T/Z.
If anyone wants to demand a recount, please file a formal request by carrier pigeon to the survey headquarters located in a submerged cave in Northeastern Kamchatka.

Why you ignore G?
I'm a foreign Terran player who supports G...

As a random player I feel prejudiced, this is typically the kind of discriminatory poll that leads to a misrepresentation of the community where us minorities are not only silenced but alltogether ignored.
Besides I believe the results as presented are far too close to call given the sample size and diserve a recount before any conclusion may be put forward.

Protoss/D.
Tax the rich, take their minerals, and give healthcare to my wounded zealots.

Wow! It just didn't occur to me that I could make a poll like that. I was completely stumped by the fact that I needed to ask two linked questions. I must be stupider than I was aware of...

I sincerely hate that most people seem to think you have to pick one of two sides in this country.
Sure, I generally vote more in line with Democrats than I ever would Republicans but that does NOT make me a Democrat. I oppose Democrats on lots of issues, especially Neo-Liberal pro-Wall Street policies, but yet since there is no political party with any degree of influence in this country that I do support or that I feel represents me, I'm forced to side with Dems as the "lesser of two evils" party.
That does not make me a Democrat.

It's a survey Vindicare, you're going to be okay...
Like, I'm anti-capitalist so I'm obviously not a democrat, but I can still go Protoss/D
