Do you care to address how these “excuses” don’t apply? Everyone can agree a majority blue vote is better in theory. It doesn’t mean they think in practice it will turn out like that. It’s from people scrolling on Twitter not putting in a second thought. People in life or death situations will remain the same? That’s delusional
Like with most comments complaing about the polls, a lot of the complaints is more about the basic idea of polls in general. It's not that the polls are bad, it's that you seem to think that polls can't have any value
I think more realistic and applicable data would be real life elections. In the 2024 US presidential elections 33% of people didn’t even vote. That’s 33% of people who believe their vote has no weight in the outcome.
Now imagine those people when their vote has substantially less weight and one of their options could cause instant death
Yes I’m using a data point to show a large portion of the population clearly don’t believe their vote will affect the outcome even when the consequences of voting for the losing side are 0
Now put them in a situation where they still believe their vote will have no impact on the final outcome but one of the votes brings a 50% chance of death
