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!

Then maybe don't blanket statement on shit you're ignorant of
It's your argument, dumbass. Bring the facts or fuck off. It isn't my job to prove your own statement.

Since it's such common knowledge, this should hardly be a challenge.
You being ignorant isn't my problem, fuckface. You wanna play the blanket statement game, I point out how stupid you are, you wanna pretend google is hard to find that's your problem
The absolute worst kind of lemmy user. You can't just start an argument without something concrete to back it up. We aren't going to just assume you're right by default. Who the fuck do you think you are?
and you're wrong

"Voters are also more likely than non-voters to live in suburban (46% vs. 41%) and rural areas (20% vs. 16%). However, non-voters are notably more likely than voters to live in urban areas (43% vs. 34%)."
The cut is hardly clear. That 30% is further cut by 43%, while it is a slight lead, it isn't the whole stack, and considering Trump still won due to rural, Republican voters despite every city being blue, with way higher concentrations of people? nah
That's all you had to do, man. Why did you make this hard?
I didn't, google is right there and your willingness to be ignorant is your own fault, not mine
Rest of your comment shall remain unread since you're too stupid to look shit up and want to be angy instead
