The fact that 'Not Sure' is so prevalent on here is really telling
Explains a lot that a large swathe of the average voter literally does not know the political leanings of some of the most prominent people in politics
To be fair, I have more respect for people who are not sure about Kamala Harris than the ones who believe she's far left.
Also to be fair, i ate too much five bean chili last night and it has hardened my heart/colon
Funniest takeaway from this whole graph is that nobody but the most brain poisoned weirdos knows who Susan Collins is lmao.
It's stunning how many people don't know other state's senators
Hell, there are people who don't know their own senators
I get that senators and representatives are terrible most of the time, but you should at least know their names so you can insult them properly
My rep is Jimmy Panetta literally the son of a CIA ghoul, but commiefornia right?
I've earned the personal ire of several Kennedys
I cannot elaborate for OpSec reasons
I don't bother knowing my state senators because I can't afford to use one of those stock tracker things that let you copy their insider trading
now that I know her name I can do a trumpism and call her Lazy Susan Collins (and forget about her immediately because I'm not a Burgerlander)
there's 100 senators, i'm not wasting 2/3 of my monkeysphere on those ghouls
Valid.
She had that song In the Air Tonight, didn't she?
To be fair, Not Sure could also mean, "idk this asshole claims to be for socialism but thinks Israel is a country."
True, but amongst USAans, that's probably not a significant amount of people
Specifically on Israel and socialism, probably not. But I do think that generally, Americans see political triangulation as shiftiness and uncertainty rather than pragmatic moderation. It’s not a coincidence that the “not sure” responses are most prevalent for politicians typically depicted as centrist.
He's that bastard who defeated President Camacho!
"Not sure" is at least somewhat honest, everyone else is mostly just responding by party id. Oh, this person is a Dem - so they are left-wing.
Not sure does also accurately describe the political activities of most DNC politi ians anyway so that is actually valid
