The PR Wing Of The GOP

[The Architect Of Fate]

The average dem and the average repub are both pretty damn gullible  https://www.brookings.edu/research/how-m...behaviors/ If Hillary or Jojo said they were screwed, I'd wager that millions of their supporters would believe them. Would they do what the Trumpers did on J6. Hopefully not and I wouldn't try to make that claim, to be clear. And I think you are entirely wrong about trying to get rid of the EC and biringing up the Dems getting 3 million more votes, which is just not relevant at all to the outcome of the election, and the other side is just going to see you as wanting to rig elections by getting away from the EC. To be clear though, I do understand where you're coming from with the EC because I used to have your same position on that for years, and as a young person who was in my teens and early 20s, it only seemed like common sense to go with who got the most votes, but as a more mature person, I switched over to being in favour of the EC vote because it just makes far more sense to me right now, and when I hear people talking about getting rid of the EC or just adding more supreme court justices, these things come off as "rigging" to me, and I am against them.

When asked to estimate the share of deaths by age group, the average American dramatically overestimates the share of COVID-19 deaths from people aged 24 and younger, putting it around 8%, when in fact it was 0.1% through August and has remained close to that level since. Meanwhile the elderly,  those 65 and older, had accounted for 81% of deaths at the time of the survey (and 79% through November). Democrats were further off than Republicans and more likely to overstate the risks to young people, even after accounting for age, race, gender, geographic, and educational differences.

The U.S. public is also deeply misinformed about the severity of the virus for the average infected person. In December, we asked, “What percentage of people who have been infected by the coronavirus needed to be hospitalized?”

The correct answer is not precisely known, but it is highly likely to be between 1% and 5% according to the best available estimates, and it is unlikely to be much higher or lower. We discuss the data and logic behind this conclusion in the appendix.
Less than one in five U.S. adults (18%) give a correct answer of between 1 and 5%. Many adults (35%) say that at least half of infected people need hospitalization. If that were true, the millions of resulting patients would have overwhelmed hospitals throughout the pandemic.

Democrats are much more likely than Republicans to overestimate this harm. Forty-one percent of Democrats and 28% of Republicans answered that half or more of those infected by COVID-19 need to be hospitalized. Republicans were also far more likely to get the correct answer, with 26% correctly identifying the risk compared to just 10% of Democrats.

Red Herring/ Whataboutism/ Non Sequitur and Hilary Conceded when she lost so this whole point is moot.
