I'd call it an assumption more than a recognition, and take it from there.
- newacct583 6y agoIt's not an assumption. You can measure this, it's experimental fact. White christians vote republican, go check some exit polls, etc...
- Udik 6y agoIt's a statistic. It doesn't define or describe individuals.
- newacct583 6y agoStatistics are still facts though! They certainly aren't "assumptions".
- Udik 6y agoTrue. But it's important to remember that, when talking about any specific individual, statistics don't hold any more. Every person is different from any other and each deserves to be judged individually.
- newacct583 6y agoThere is literally no specific individual discussed anywhere in this subthread...
