Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Are you sure? I know someone on Facebook that seems to think YouTube videos are irrefutable evidence of pretty much whatever they claim.

The like/dislike ratio used to be a poll of sorts.

He discusses actual polls you can look up? This isn't a video just saying things it has data

videos that mention data i could look up is exactly what i’m talking about…
gimme the data, not some schmoo talking about how they misunderstand some data….
there are infinite, strongly opinionated, youtube videos for every conclusion that inaccurately represents some sort of data….

By that logic any article from a news distributor is garbage. Which while true, you can find the original story from a new wire. Sourcing points is key but having someone write a table of authorities when they can link a video with their thoughts and data is fine

Nope, if it's a youtube video then it's garbage on youtube that I'm not gonna watch. A link to a reputable news organization's website says a hell of a lot more about its credibility, every time.

In the first minute of the video he talks about the pool done by Echelon Insights where they actually checked the exact same people.
