1 in 5 Americans think violence may solve U.S. divisions, poll finds - Lemmy.World

12% of dems and 28% of republicans… that says something

To be fair, the question was “do you think violence is necessary for the US to get back on track

Make America Great Again is the Republican line, so of course the poll is going to lean this way.

So if the questions had been “do you think violence is necessary for hope and change” more dems would have said ‘yes’?

lol

Pretty clear the operative phrase was do you think violence is necessary.

Unironically yeah it changes the answers a LOT. There are entire sections of sociology dealing with much smaller polling biases.
What’s another phrasing that you think would be equivalently biased against dems?

I’m genuinely unsure of what you mean by “against” here-- are you implying the original phrasing biased Republican answers towards or against violence, and do you consider that to be a good or bad thing?

To answer your question though, I believe phrases that could influence Democrats to vote yes could be “Do you think violence is necessary to combat hatred” or as was suggested earlier “Do you think violence is necessary for hope and change”. Basically anything that ties violence to their desired values or outcomes.

Maybe read back up the chain if you’re this lost.

I’d love to see that poll ;)

Fuck off

I’d love to see that poll ;)

If I make one I’ll send it in this community and you’ll get to see me proven right. Unfortunately you’ll be blocked so I won’t see your response.

lol- sorry you got triggered.
