Real translation: thanks for the paycheck. Remember me when you need another yes person to be your scapegoat.

“Study using self-reported data shows that those more interested in politics are more likely to self-report data with post-election surveys. More at 11.”

They literally say they are using self-reported post election surveys. Most people I know, including myself, have never done a post election survey. People that don’t vote also are not participating in post-election surveys. It’s an interesting study, but this is 100% textbook selection bias and I’m surprised Pew Research Center missed the mark on this one.

If progressives voted in overwhelming numbers, then Bernie would have won the primary. I voted for Bernie, but clearly not many others did.

Progressives could be the largest voting block and most still wouldn’t come out to vote. Why bother trying to gain the vote of a group that has historically low voting. There’s a reason Bernie didn’t win the primary despite massive grass roots movements.

Good job. Your non-vote really helped.

Can do the exact same thing with “progressives” that don’t vote.
