(14,848 posts)These are very poorly worded questions. I could easily agree with a question for reasons that aren't obvious and which bear no relationship to how others interpret it.
It's the only way you would get agreement between dems and q's. They are each interpreting the question differently.
For example, I might be upset about the direction in DC based on republican intransigence and the way scouts is changing the law.
That doesn't mean I am against dems or our direction.
Ask stupid questions, get stupid statistics.

(31,917 posts)I fit into a few of these -
Angry - 67% - Hell yeah. I'm angry that others stupidity is not allowing me to get back to a post covid world.
Undocumented Immigrants - Not surprised by the GOP numbers with that one . . . the right wing ecosystem says that this is the MOST DANGEROUS Thing! *smdh*
Representation in DC - count me in the 45% - I'm in the group of Americans whose Senators represent 41 million more people than the GOP. Very pissed that minority rule is preventing us from moving forward in this century.
Risk of Crime - 61% - again I'm in this group and it TIES to 80% of Impact of Racism. I truly feel like we (black Americans) are one day away from a mass attempt at genocide by angry white republicans.
My point - the numbers can work in our favor or . . . which temper tantrum wins. I've gotta feeling that IF we ensure the franchise for non white GOP Leaning Indies and Republicans . . .
That temper tantrum is going to be epic. I want the s.o.b's brought to heel - like yesterday.

2010 and 2016 were both "Temper Tantrum" election years.
