I came in on a marriage visa and from day one had a GC, does this mean I have to vote twice, once for Marriage visa and once for GC. Talk about overcomplicating this.

Bah Humbug! Where's your christmas spirit. Someone complained so I thought I was helping out. It's just a fun poll.....not a vote at the UN.
Perhaps you would prefer the poll closed and a new one created......although not by me.....I might overcomplicate things......plus I'll be too busy burning the turkey

A Permanent Resident is a Permanent Resident is a Permanent Resident.
btw, 'marriage visa' would be a temporary state of being. The poll was asking 'what do you have now'?

Another poster posted pointed out elsewhere on this site that "permanent" is only permanent until it is not permanent, meaning "permanent" residents can be deported more easily than naturalized USCs.
