It tells us no valuable information. Also it’s only about the same bullshit political “issues” which should not even be issues. These have mostly been addressed and dealt with in most democratic developed countries, but of course America is still fucking arguing about these things so they don’t pay any attention to the fact that the government, our laws and policies have all been bought and owned by the richest. And also that 99.99% of our entire wealth is in the pockets of like 11 people.

Yeah let’s argue about abortion and guns some more.

It’s a cool website honestly, I enjoy the concept a lot. Obviously I’m forced to view the results through the lens of “this is what people on reddit think” but it was cool to see a bit of variation regardless. I think you could take it to the next level by importing a much larger dataset of responses to similar questions and using that as a baseline. Then, the user can answer the questions and look at the demographics to see how they compare, but without actually incorporating their response unless it is desired. If they want their response recorded, just overlay that onto the baseline (which would let you keep the data separate if you also wanted to include a feature that compares responses directly from the website to those of more traditional polling methods). This way you don’t have to collect personal information for somebody to view the results, but they have the option to willfully hand it over.

But of course, that would be a giant time commitment to implement. Visualizing demographics is a very important concept though

That's... the actual legislation the Democrats tried to pass (H.R. 8296), compared to the actual legislation as passed in 80% of the American Midwest states.

If that wasn't the party stance, why would they write and vote for a bill that contains it?

Edit: As you've blocked me, and I see a automod deleted comment beneath this one, I don't think anyone saw your response. But I assume you're pivoting to personal attacks rather than discussing the facts, because the facts are not on your side.

> My own bias showed even though I tried not to

Maybe so, but that’s not the entirety of the issue here.

The other main problems are sampling bias (ie, the survey is sent to folks who are not representative of the broader population), and non-response bias (ie, the types of people who elect to respond to such a survey are not representative of the broader population).

>The debate is basically down to 'if it should be legal, when should it be legal'. The current left wing stance is that it should be legal up to 1second before labor happens. The right wing stance is 'sometimes legal, often before heartbeat'.

Lol what absolute horseshit of a take, nonsequitur to boot. 🤡🤡

Edit : surprise surprise they're also a bigot
