There's certainly no bias inherent in your categorization of "most Americans" because clearly you aren't just pulling numbers that fit your worldview out of you

There's certainly no bias inherent in your categorization of "most Americans" because clearly you aren't just pulling numbers that fit your worldview out of your ass, right?
Or maybe I misread and you're going for a super gooey layer of irony.
- santacluster 12y agoMost Americans support either Republicans or Democrats. There are no significant political parties to the left, and those Democrats with somewhat left of center views are considered to be on the far left of the party. You don't really need statistics or bias to conclude that most Americans conservative. What part of that upsets you so much?
- oldmanjay 12y agoNo part upsets me. Why read emotional content into this?

- alextgordon 12y agoThe 98% number is the number of voters that voted for either Democrat or Republican presidents in 2012. I admit because of turnout we can't claim to know about the opinions of non-voters. But it's safe to assume that most Americans are either Democrat, Republican or somewhere in between.
