I'm legit excited to see how the Canadian federal and provincial governments are going to turn the relatively straightforward concept of 'make this existing black/grey market that already has functioning supply chains and storefronts into a white market' into a shitshow. I mean it's not quite as simple as 'slap a 15% tax on sales and call it a day', but drat they're complicating poo poo for the dumbest reasons.

Hemingway To Go! posted:https://twitter.com/DataProgress/status/999365954340622337 The graphs are positioned so that progressive trends are seen as rise from left to right, whether that is a "disagree" or an "agree" varies with the question. I do not see anything wrong with this graph. It is technically correct and oriented to present a specific visual style, but it does not hide anything from the reader. It's all right there. Edit: It's all left there, I guess is more accurate.

It's weird, too, because the first one is the only one where the opposite opinion also went up. Wonder if the creator or their editor didn't like seeing the "other side" gain traction in any of the four questions, so they went with "don't know" as the other plotted point for all four instead.

Pakled posted:But the amount that agree only increased by 2 points while the amount that disagree increased by 8. Well, the point is that it's not as much people changing their minds, as people coming to a conclusion. The biggest swing is on the third question with ~15% actually changing their mind on the issue, but also the question itself has changed since it contains 'past few years'.

In all 4 of the questions, though, the progressive opinion has gained more supporters than the non-progressive opinion. 1. +8 progressive, +2 regressive 2. +14 progressive, -7 regressive 3. +28 progressive, -15 regressive 4. +14 progressive, -5 regressive Therefore, unless there's some hidden fuckery going on with strongly/somewhat agree statistics or the way the poll was conducted, I think the conclusion of the author, that white democrats have became more liberal on race issues over those years, is accurate.

Still seems disingenuous to construct it showing the progressive opinion going up for all four with only one other line shown that decreases in every case. It would still support their conclusion with the counter-choice shown, but they probably know people are going to glance at it and didn't want the "other" line going up in any of the four questions. Including all three categories would get cluttered, but I can't come up with a reason why showing "I don't know" is better than the "regressive" answer. It would be more straightforward to show the opposing opinion instead of "I don't know", even though the conclusion still stands either way.

It doesn't really affect the way the chart is presented, but I wonder if the data supporting the conclusion is really the result of white Democrats becoming less racist, or if it's the result of racist white Democrats realizing they're actually Republicans, (Trump seems to have helped with that) causing racists to be a smaller percentage of a shrinking number of white Democrats. Edit:  I just read the article. The study actually controlled for that, asking the same people each time.

Pakled posted:In all 4 of the questions, though, the progressive opinion has gained more supporters than the non-progressive opinion. The full results for the first question show what’s really going on: these democrats haven’t really changed their minds about those issues. Rather, they have become more polarized. Questions 1, 2, and 3 show that it’s mostly (or even entirely) the undecided that picked a side. The third question, as was pointed out, was changed between the two surveys since “the past few years” refers to a different period of time in both surveys. I wonder what could have happened between the two surveys to make democrats more polarized in their views...

Either inflation or (if the chart is inflation adjusted) just general economic downturn making materials more expensive. This isn't a bad chart only because it's the perfect image to represent what Trump's "trade war" is all about.
