That's interesting but may not be entirely relevant. It exhibits the same problem the news media have. Most of them feel the need to show no bias so they "both sides" every issue. Normally that's fine but when one side is a mentally ill, conman, criminal, wannabe dictator, it just doesn't work. It has failed.
And so to the election. I have enough faith in Americans to believe Trump will get wiped out in the popular vote. Then there's the Electoral College. He now has believers working in the electoral system though so possibly there will be delays in certification in some redneck states. It's also possible he will declare victory tonight while temporarily ahead. The small rural electorates come in first so Republicans take the lead early. The big city electorates come in later. It's the same in this country and probably everywhere else. I hope the Democrats have a plan fir whatever tricks Trump pulls.
If nothing else it will be interesting.

The content wasn't trying to claim any relevance to a specific politician, it was only referencing how many people come to conclusions.

I found the video interesting - I would hazard a guess that part of the reluctance is due to experience and that social phenomena is notoriously difficult to analyze and track data for.
As a case in point - my experience when commuting on the bike in Auckland was that luxury, white late-model SUVs driven by a certain demographic demanded a wide berth.
If you then come at me with a study that (using various statistical means) saying they are no better or worse than any other demographic, I am going to be more skeptical. Plus from my side, with a bit of dabbling in how Data works and can be manipulated, Causation and correlation, interpretation etc. there are many ways to frame data to make the point you want to.
For example:
If you look at who is the better driver - Men or Women:
In absolute terms - More Men die whilst driving than Women, therefore Women are the better drivers, right...
But if you look at who causes accidents and then factoring in the amount of driving done, Women are over-represent (Men do 62% of the driving, but only cause 58% of the accidents)
But then if you exclude minor accidents and only focus on those that cause serious injury of Death - almost all Men (94%)
But then if you factor in who does most of the open-road driving where speeds are higher, it paints a different picture
And so on and so forth - point is, there are many ways to express the data to serve whichever point you want - and the experiment by Ground News (who I like as a company btw) - did not factor that in explicitly.

I understand that. I basically agree with the gist of the item but don't consider it applies in the current circumstances. It may apply to most MAGA and to some Democrats but the extreme that is Trump is outside what is normal.

A bit of a storm online about Google not playing fair with search results. When entering "where to vote for Harris" into their search engine you would get an interactive map showing where to vote. When the same search was put in except with Trump instead of Harris no such map was given. Google say they've now fixed the error and that it was due to their algorithm mistaking Kamala Harris for Harris county in Texas.

Just like it was a Mistake that the Trump Rogan podcast wasnt trending or searchable...
Curious how these 'mistakes' only ever go one way and in favor of one wing....

Donald Trump, voting in disguise, whispers to the guy on his right, "how do you spell trump?" "H.A.R.R.I.S"

Isn't it great that in a long term relationship, lovers tend to gravitate towards each other - they dress alike (suspenders, cutoff T shirts) and sound alike and even look alike. Its so cute!

Also, as an experiment, I am avoiding all news media, websites etc for the next 24 hours. I am relying completely on Kiwibiker for how my opinion should be formed. Whoever rants best/loudest/longest/last will win.
Don't let me down, fam! I am counting on you!

Well the BBC is reporting that the Donald is already alleging cheating in Philadelphia but we knew that would happen.
And on that note I am away fishing for the afternoon so will get the results on the 6 o'clock news tonight and get the family to play 'What war am I watching?" and try and guess whether is is Gaza, Kyiv, or Buttfuck, Idaho.
