asdf8562 09/14/23 12:02:28 PM #66:	Yes. The answer is yes. It's why people should stop just assuming the average Republican voter, or proud "I don't vote" citizen is educated on what Republicans are actually doing or why it's important to vote in ALL elections (local, state and national). The average citizen isn't even educated how laws legislation passes in government. Hence why so many are confused why student debt wasn't canceled, confused Roe v Wade was revoked, don't know how the fillerbuster works, and thinks the President can solve everything with a waive of a pen. <cite>asdf8562 posted [p:976060218] in Are Americ...

Aysander 09/14/23 2:00:11 PM #71:	COVxy posted... How many people do you have to poll before you intuitively think you can generalize, and why do you think that? Well, the US is a country of 331.9 million people. 10% of that would be 3,319,000. 2000 people is not even 10% of that number. You are polling less than a tenth of a tenth of a tenth of a percent of the nation's population. Such a poll could not be used to generalize. But that is hardly the point. Such stupidity is not even uniquely American. Americans are just the easiest target because it has been fashionable to do so on the internet for as long as it exists. And before you ask, if someone said "God all Chinese people are assholes" or "Russians are fucked up and need to be purged", or "Britts sound like giant pissbabies whenever they talk", I would be equally annoyed because generalizations in general are bad, despite being far too easy to fall into making. --- Ernie. <cite>Aysander posted [p:976062908] in Are Americ...

NatsuSama 09/14/23 2:16:39 PM #73:	The average American can't name the first United States president, do basic multiplication without a calculator, or know what a periodic table is. This isn't even getting into the wild conspiracy theories department. That's why it always amazes me some are so adamant in assuming the average voter is educated in knowing what awful things Republicans are doing. A portion of voters think they deserve a pat on the back for voting once or twice, and dont really understand why the candidate(s) they voted for dont have the numbers to deliver everything they promisdd. Another portion of the country doesn't even grasp the importance of voting and need constant encouragement. I'd argue the average American knows more about celebrity gossip or their favorite social media influencers content than they do basic math, science, US History, let alone US civics 101. TLDR, we shouldn't be just assuming the average American is actually educated and informed on the things Trump did.

He made a gaffe at the fires when talking about his kitchen, but the government response to the tragedy under his administration hasn't launched headlines of being inadequate. Not so far on my news feed, anyway. Could be an algorithm thing. But I haven't seen evidence of failing a crisis beyond tripping over his own words in that attempt to empathize.

Thats like me saying those who pointed out a sample being way too small lowers the reliability of the study and increases the margin of error. There's absolutely no point in your unsubstantiated claims of you "reading many studies." Frankly it doesn't help your point at all. A sample of 10 cant speak to a population of 1.3million. Or a sample of 20 to speak for 2.6million. Yet there are many "studies" out there that one can find that can push a wide array of things, many of which can contradict each other. Some of which use dubious samples to push a headline. So called "studies" hitting media and social media has been a fun little trend that has pushed contradictory things for years now. Coffee alone has many so called "studies" and those many studies don't all agree with each other because there's so many trash conducted studies out there with bad samples to push either an agenda, headline that chimes with those who are susceptible to believe absolutely anything that has the words "studies show" slapped on it. <cite>RyukSan posted [p:976075190] in Are Americ...

Hell, Ebbinghaus discovered a fundamental set of rules that govern human memory from only systematically studying himself. The recency and primacy effects were found in experiments with n = 1.
