Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

If he wanted us to use sharpened sticks and clay tablets then why did he give me an appendage to write my name in the snow with?

If you can't use the keyboard to do everything faster then the UI is broken.

They'll slow you down if you touch the screen with your fingers, but I've discovered I can use another appendage to control the cursor, and still have both hands free for typing! It's been a definite productivity improvement for me, although I occasionally get some funny looks on the bus in the morning, and I have been arrested twice this week already. Still, it's the future, so you better get used to it!

You know what you do when you get smudges on your screen? YOU WIPE THEM! just like your behind when there is excrement in it.. no big deal - we do it daily
Wait, so you liken using a touchscreen laptop to taking a dump? I'm not sold.

Tactical feedback systems in Star Trek? So when the ships get hit and the first thing that happens is the control console explodes, that's a feature?
