Things may have changed, but for a while I feel pretty confident that conservatives had a reputation for being fiercely politically active, and for voting more. Ornery b*stards believe really strongly in their bullshyt, and a lot are older, wealthier, and have more spare time to vote, and a lot of vested interest in voting to stay in power and suppress others.

A lot of people that would vote that are unable to get off work to do it, or struggle with transportation, etc, are more likely to vote left. Also a lot of younger people that are more likely to vote left don't always turn out to vote.

These trends may have changed in recent years, but I seem to remember them being staples of the 2000's and 2010's. Older, white, well to do conservatives have the time and the interest to make sure they go vote. I feel like if every person in this country actually voted that conservatives would get fukking destroyed every time.

But I'm kind if talking out my ass here, because I haven't looked on research on this since at least 2016 or so.

That's exactly my point. There is a lot of "the youth don't vote" and "people on the left do not vote" talk but the missing component is voting is really about having the timing and security to vote.

If we made voting a national holiday or had it on Sunday like countries interested in their citizen's ability to vote, those stupid narratives would probably go away. There is a reason why 2020 had the most votes ever, states made voting a lot easier.

That's what they tell us and there's data to support that I suppose

I agree with your second sentence

Ron DeSantis is their stool? Why can't they just say, "Ron DeSantis is their Man?" or would that sound too gay? Because another meaning for Stool is shyt, so it makes it sound like Ron DeSantis is their turd.

Data suggest otherwise. 94% of registered voters vote.

With that data point in mind it seems a better course should be understanding why only 64% of voter eligible Americans register.

Richard Baris is a funny guy. His polls (Big Data Poll) are banned from 538 due to false methodologies (data manipulation or just making up #s).

Margin of error?
