      Oh no, a 3 percent difference between pre election polling and exit polling!

      This is rock solid evidence of skullduggery! Woe is me.

          You claimed 16 million veterans voted for Trump when it was actually 9 million. I’m not good at math but I think that’s more than 1 percent.

          Edit to add, that includes assuming every veteran votes. Adding in the apathy rate it’s more like 4.5 million. So that’s what 75%?

            these were exit polls in 2016 were much worse and disprove your point even further; keep digging that hole for yourself.

            also; you should stop using 2 lemmy accounts to try to prove your disapproved point; accept the loss and move on.

              I haven’t sourced anything from 2016, and the article you provided above is a 2020 pre-election poll.

              Also, I don’t have 2 Lemmy accounts and I’m not the one digging a hole here. I’ve never made any claims about the 2016 election. In fact if you go read my comments they’re specifically about the military in 2020. You’re the one who wanted to bring cold war veterans into the conversation and you couldn’t even get the numbers right because you’re in such a rush to paint us as conservative.
