I didn't say that either. I'm not judging the bias. I'm simply pointing out
- biases are real;
- that 99% of most people are oblivious to that fact;
- that 99% of elites / leadership make make no effort to educate the masses on how biases - in this case specifically the act of voting - impacts discourse;
- that how such a bias decreases compromise (i.e., people won't change their minds) and therefore increases divisiveness;
- that biases are an unavoidable human given which means the addressable problem is the ignorance of such things.
- Conclusion: Individual biases *are* going to have broader societal impact. Ignorance - especially when it's used to manipulate behaviour -is never good for society.
Those are the facts. If you have counter facts, please share. If there's something else outside these facts I welcome the opportunity to move beyond my biases.
