"What percentage of the other side supports political violence"

Both Democrats and Republicans estimated 30% but actually.. only 10% of both sides supported political violence

That number is crazy in so many ways and the post is overly nonchalant about it. The "distortion" isn't what's worrying here

The magnitude of that number is a consequence of the effects being discussed in the post. And unless you find a way to solve the tyranny of the loudest, it's only going to continue to increase.
I agree with the notion in the post, though I do not agree that users will feel the format is not being pushed top-down by the man

I just had an issue with the way that number was completely overlooked
