This many be true. But, if so, it must not be considered an important issue by more than 50% of the people because it isn't factoring into their votes.

Its like how most people are afraid of climate change but cant be arsed to do something about it.
Currently nothing matters as long as a politician shouts "scary immigrants" and people mass vote for the fucker.

Yes. The US is not a democracy.
Most politicians also don't get support for >50% of their constituency
-
Unfortunately for that 85% of Americans, we're not actually a democracy.
-
Even if we were, way too many people don't actually "believe" in what they claim enough to actually vote for it.
-
Very true.
It's why we're never getting away from the duopoly.

Unfortunately for the percentage of those Americans who didn't vote for the anti-choice party, the ones who did are fucking morons.

Yeah but they vote based upon "muh inflation" anyway.
-
I mean, what were you expecting?
Inflation is legitimately bad and affects every aspect of one's life in this country, and unlike abortion, adversely affects nearly the whole population of this country.
One of the lessons of fascist history is that, when people can't afford basic necessities, they start caring less about social issues.

All Republicans talk about is social issues and culture wars.

Inflation is caused by economic policy which is driven by politics
Doing things pike raising minimum wage makes it more expensive to operate a business which drives up prices

Fuck the rich, I got a ditch for them, Infrastructure and more.

This is also true for most progressive policies… think Bernie sanders agenda…
-
That 15% is scary. Imagine believing even killing the mother for an unsuccessful birth is worth sticking to your stupid guns.
-
Yes but it's probably worth reading the fine prints of a poll before coming up to the conclusion that 100% - 85% of one answer means 15% of the polar opposite. Chances are that there is a non null share of "I do not know" or even they didn't understand the question.
-
Let me rephrase that, I meant the non-zero percent who believe that. But yeah, thanks for reminding me that poll percentages may have other interpretations. Whoops!

What percentage of Americans believe that christofascist authoritarians should be clubbed repeatedly like baby seals and all their churches firebombed into a BBQ pit?
