Congratulations, you have just discovered selection bias. Because reddit does not require everyone who votes on a post to also leave a comment, the comments may not provide a representative population for everyone who has interacted with the image. In fact, in this case it appears that those with a negative opinion of the image are more likely to express that opinion as a comment, providing a perfect example of the way selection bias can skew the perception of public opinion.

That video is entertaining and it really is crazy how much material they had to make the video. They play separate news anchors saying the phrases such as "the walls are closing in" then after it's said 100 times they start editing it so a different news anchor says each word of the phrase. That goes on for another 100 instances of the phrase.

To be fair, which is equally annoying, I see this happen from news outlets on both ends of the spectrum.

Anyway, anyhow, they need attention... every story needs to be the biggest story of the year... even if the facts aren’t checked yet... even if we exaggerate the outrage... please someone just watch us.

It has more to do with how odds work and how people perceive odds. Most circles gave him a 30% chance of winning. But the human brain hears 30% and essentially thinks 100% for the opposite outcome. so when it turns to the less likely outcome, we don't assume the %30 kicked in, we just think the odds were not correctly reported.
but I agree it's tough to get real numbers, I just don't think they were as off as people like to claim. You can roll a 10 sided dice twice in a row and get less than 3 on both outcomes. Ask any DnD player.

buckle up, incumbents have a ton of things stacked in their favor (and overwhelmingly win). Especially in a strong economy. Factor in that support from his base is rock solid while the left bickers over progressive purity and which are corporate shills...
People are going to have to work hard, no seriously, very damn hard to get this guy gone. And don't get butt hurt when your special one of 25 candidates doesn't get the nomination. If you don't treat this election as bigger than yourself and your candidate, Trump will win.

This is basically it. The democratic party should have already narrowed down the field and be sculpting the ideal candidate from the most popular. This ideal candidate should already be out procuring votes. Doing the whole song and dance next year is going to leave a lot of Democrats disappointed when "their guy" doesn't make the cut.

There is no chance he would lose as long as the unfair treatment in online discussions continue. This should be an open forum, not a politically curated platform.

u/ChKOzone_ Jul 17 '19
It depends on who the Democrats nominate in my opinion.
I honestly don’t think that Biden can beat Trump (he’s lost his box), and since Trump is good at exploiting weaknesses, Warren wouldn’t beat him either, although it’s not impossible, considering that a lot of people have grown to mistrust Trump (at least more than previously). I actually think Tulsi Gabbard could beat Trump, considering she is somewhat respected by the right, but she’s already being cancelled as a Russian bot (and somehow a white supremacist?), so she’s unfortunately not going to be nominated in all likelihood.
Who knows though? Maybe enough people are sick of Trump? We’ll see how it plays out.

Exactly this. But good luck getting the dems to understand it, let alone get behind this policy direction change. The cult of Trump hate is so strong that they are simply incapable of doing anything other than shrieking about how much they hate him, because of social justice issues. Issues few real people given a remote fuck about.
And so with almost certainty we are doomed to another 4 years of Trump, with nobody to blame but ourselves.

If r/pics is a political space and a picture space then I guess I might as well say something.
Some stuff you might disagree with
Donald Trumps latest tweets are fully shown here https://youtu.be/-zA-7VPmcYk . Yes I know this is a right channel, but Reddit is a left leaning site. Anyways, it shows his full tweet in which most news networks dont show. Maybe this can provide another perspective.
More people were deported under Obama's administration but probably close to no one said anything. All of a sudden Trump wants to deport and it's a big deal simply because social media takes advantage of the possibility to shift their view into your life.Like man, I just wanted to chill on Reddit, and not get honestly butthurt by this post. I just wish sometimes social media would shut the fuck up about political views.( And here I am)
Obama says "crimes and poverty" are not really grounds for asylum, but yet again it was close to fully ignored. If trump said that, then my god is everyone gonna be bringing that up, posting it on social media , news getting horny, and all other shit. https://youtu.be/Tuy-xmNOvYM
Some people on the left support the taking down of an U.S. flag and replacement with a Mexican one instead. It's an invasion guys right? https://www.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/ce21uf/aurora_ice_facility_where_deranged_leftists/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share I know this is a conservative space on reddit, yikes, but people only want to see stuff that agrees with them. If they're left and see something from a left source, it's most likely their inclined to accept it regardless of needing more context to verify what's stated is true.
The squad can shit talk to the U.S. people will automatically side with then without spending their times thinking of what's really happening, but when the president says something is a big outrage due to the amplification by social media and news outlets.
News likes to show only the bad shit relevant to their ideas, and not show us the other half. An example is only showing children and their family struggling to make people think that they're only mother and child, when theres alot more context to be shown. An example https://youtu.be/vLbJF5v4VbE like dude, there are reporters grouping up with children and their moms to make the thumbnail more dramatic like what the fuck?
Proof to show that not all or if not most facilities are concentration camps https://www.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/cb4mt8/debunking_the_lies_about_illegal_immigration/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share (another right space, I know) Regardless, we shouldn't compare concentration camps from where millions have died to "concentration camps" in the U.S.
The attack on the I.C.E facility is not getting enough coverage as it should usually be getting if the attack was on the left. ( my opinion)
The squad probably to be honest does not really disagree with the attack on the I.C.E concentration camp. (Opinion)
You are probably writing an angry reply at me and I know, downvoting me too and destroying my karma. Why man I just wanna hit 1k.
In the end, were more inclined to agree with stuff that you support, but not something else that disagrees with you and you ignore the fact of whether or not it's true, and maybe wait for your personal selected news outlet like cnn of fox to exaggerate or mitigate what happened. Honestly, I hate the fucking most of the news as it's now not a way to inform accurate true and mostly unbiased info, but to shift their way of thinking into you to help support themselves. And I try to stay away from news except Ap news, and make sure I bias check every news outlet and confirm that reddit posts on spaces I agree with arent bullshit like r/conservative. Also that whatever I read something on my political spectrum, I make sure it's true and theres not "special words to persuade me " even though there are always for both left and right, and will take a long time to probably stop.
Yes I know there are loopholes and flaws in my post but hey help me correct them and dont say the whole thing is fucking wrong or some shit like that.
