MODERATORS
It's okay because uncommitted are patting themselves on the back.
In fact they'd probably go, "Harris would've done the same thing!" lmao.
I'm still seeing them saying it here on Lemmy, in fact. Still blaming the Democratic Party for things and choices that they themselves chose to make.
And all because the Democratic Party did not give them a perfectly pretty, pretty pony.
Unfortunately uncommitted voters would not have changed the results pretty much at all. The representation in the voting population is a highly significant percent of the population as far as statistics are concerned.
If there was 100% voting then statistically they results would be identical to the point of no changes considering the sample size of people who did actually vote versus the whole population.
Wrong, just wrong.
36% of eligible voters did not vote. That's more people than voted for Trump.
I don't think you understood my point when it comes to statistics and significance. I wasn't talking about how many people didn't vote, I was talking about how the people who did vote is a monumental sample size for the entire population. So if the entire population did vote the outcome would be very similar to what the sample size predicted with their actual votes.
Still mathematically incorrect, I'm afraid.
Your point isn't valid because "people who voted" is certainly not a random sample but it is also not an unbiased or stratified sample of the population.
It's very plausible indeed that (for example) democratic leaning voters were jaded and stayed home whilst republicans were excited about the disruptive influence their guy mightt have.
Your sample contains no eligible voters whatsoever in the stayed-home category and it's heinous extrapolation to assume that your proportion extends into this group with markedly different behaviour to those in your sample, especially when the percentages were so close in any case.
Using your logic, I could do a hypothesis test with a tiny sample of hundred voters and get my margin of error under a SL of 5% and claim statistical significance, because if I excluded people who voted in person or people who voted by postal vote, I would get strikingly different outcomes. Thus, if voter preference is correlated so markedly even by method of voting, it's absurd to suggest that there's no correlation over fact of voting.
By your logic (statistical significance irrespective of how non-random and non-stratified a sample is), no pre election poll could ever be wrong.
Statistical significance isn't the same as truth. How representive and free from bias your sample is are two things that are critical to the validity of your conclusions.
Well sure but there are many niche groups who when aggregated together could've put us over the top. I just have to highlight this particularly group that so clearly shot themselves in the foot and should, ostensibly, know better. Trump supporters I can even understand more.
The American people are going to skin them alive and redistribute the wealth of their doners.
"Just a matter of when"
I've spent a lot of time about thermite catapults that retract into a small bed pickup topper.
I just love the hypocrisy from republicans. They preach smaller government, but are always the first in line to take rights and freedoms away from those they dislike.
They may tell you otherwise, but their actions say they want to govern based on their own warped "Christian" ideals.
MAGA needs to unfuck themselves, and remember that this is a secular nation. You may not like who someone loves or that they worship a different god, or no god at all. Guess what? It's none of your damn business. And it certainly isn't a basis for treating people differently.
The gop, putin, fox, and right wing media has gotten them in such a knot that they cant untie themselves. they almost became selfware with luigi, when MSM dint realized by blasting him 24/7 was actually hurting them.
Republicans are either too stupid to understand the hypocrisy or actively engage in it specifically because they enjoy trolling.
Conservatives with a semblance of coherent thought are Democrats.
Anyone that actually understands the system knows both parties are right of center and left is basically a boogie man with no real-world presence in the US.
I just love the hypocrisy from republicans. They preach smaller government, but are always the first in line to take rights and freedoms away from those they dislike.
More than anything else, their inability to perceive the friction between these stances is what frustrates me the most about conservatives, and convinces me that all their supposed "values" are just the high sounding words they use to justify various forms of bigotry and control.
Another amazing contradiction they never manage to grasp lies among the subpopulation of MAGAs that call themselves libertarian. I had a right-wing friend that freely professed libertarian viewpoints for years. Railed against the government for even getting involved in social issues. Now, like many of the rest of em, he's one of the biggest apologists for reproductive care restrictions and reigning in the press...
I'm not sure if it's the hivemind or they just really can't stand a world full of differences they have to endure.
i know 1-2 asian tubers i used to followed like that. one is a sht for brains when turned full maga and anti-vax , he celebrated trump winning but congragulated NEVADAS "ABORTION RIGHTS" STANCE. i was saying in that sub of thier channel, which is it? do you support trump who is probably going to rubber stamp abortion bans or do support anti-abortions? and the other ones slightly more clever, is called liberterians by his fans, but hes so low info like the other dude its embarrassing, and immediately call things woke when it contradicts his rants. also being asians that you are and supporting maga is pretty "disrespectful/disgraceful to asians", i can understand vietnamese for being the way they are with maga, but you being "other asians" which are almost always a butt of a joke when referring to race,and having almost no influence in hollywood, unless you play a asian stereotype, and almost hold no political positions at large state or national level. in general because asians do not like to ruffle the feathers.
