Imma be honest, fucking :doubt:
I’d like to see a detailed breakdown of who they actually polled for this data, but I see a big problem immediately. This is a poll of people who voted which, yeah, obviously those people swung towards Trump, that’s why he won. I don’t give a fuck about what those people think.
The people to ask are the 14 million who voted for Biden and didn’t vote this time. In particular the subset of those who were in swing states. And that’s the group that just last week we found was 6X more likely than the average American to care about Gaza.
This is a bad poll for finding out useful info about this election and electorate. This is polling all the patrons at a steakhouse about their eating habits and finding that none of them are vegan. Yeah, no shit, you’re polling in a steakhouse.
Maybe this is just me having too much hope about the morality of Burgerlandians but these numbers just do not line up with all of the polling we saw before Tuesday. I think by the nature of only asking people who did vote you’re automatically selecting for people with shittier views, because only people with shittier views voted in this election.
I’m in that group and it was the genocide, but I’m also a hexbear and don’t know anytime else like me.
