Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Exit polls - voluntary responders only

but then that makes it very likely that some republicans who actually voted democrat just pretended to have voted republican in order to maintain their standing in their community.

who said that you should never trust a statistic you faked yourself?

Yeah I was just thinking that. It really ignores the point of votes being in secret. How many people in Salem self identified as a witch?

So, you don't trust any poll where people self-report the information?

You don't mean that. You're just saying that in order to maintain your standing in your community.

.. see how rude that is to just assume people are lying about themselves as if you know better?

It's not rude to assume a population percentage is lying to protect themselves. They SHOULD be lying to protect themselves. How many witches self identified in Salem? Do you not understand the point of votes being secret? Nobody wants to put a political target on their back.
