Also no units on the Y axis, and the labels are nearly unreadable due to being light blue on slightly lighter blue. This is up there with the bird distribution map.

"Patterns" they say, as they present no discernible pattern.

This one isn't really terrible, in fact I think it's a good attempt at displaying the information it's trying to show you, but it's so loving dense that it takes forever to read goddamn anything out of it

I wanna talk to thos Bernie supporters who think he's too liberal, must not be able to find a more moderate democratic candidate. E: nvm, I want to talk to the even greater percentage of Bernie supporters who think Liz is too liberal, I think they may have some interesting perspective on the policies of the various Democratic contenders.

Looks like there are some people in this questionnaire who refuse the American English meaning of liberal. Which makes the graph even more awful. new quote button is fun, too.

VictualSquid posted:Looks like there are some people in this questionnaire who refuse the American English meaning of liberal. Honestly I think this is genuine linguistic drift - as socialism becomes less of a dirty word and seen as the Actual Left then liberalism's position becomes more centrist. It's not even really changed, it's just not an extreme any more. But not everyone has caught up with that.

Krankenstyle posted:liberalism has been a centrist position for a century Yeah but it's been heavily misused by the likes of American talk radio to mean "anything left of the Republican party line". "Bleeding heart liberals" and so on. It's only fairly recently that people have started to re-identify with the original meaning because there is now a pretty significant movement of people who are genuinely to the left of the Democrats and do not self-identify as "liberals". I feel like this must be very confusing for Europeans because as far as I can tell the broad usage of "liberal" to mean "left wing" is purely an American thing.

In Europe, moderate-right parties describe themselves as liberals. Far left parties describe themselves as socialist, while the moderate left is something like 'social democrats'. To be fair, the general party lines of our moderate-right parties are quite in line with middle-of-the-road Democrats in the US. Even the far right parties usually want to keep large parts of the welfare state intact, they just want to exclude non-whites from it. People with USA Republican views are exceedingly rare here.

Amusingly, the closest you'd get to American Republicans in Denmark could for a while reasonably be argued to be Liberal Alliance lmao (at least until the founding of Nye Borgerlige) also I really wanna know how that employee internet usage graph came about. its amazing Carthag Tuek has a new favorite as of 20:18 on Feb 22, 2020 |

Danish politics map poorly to American politics though. Our biggest right wing party is called "Left - liberal party of Denmark" though, while being explicitly (centre) right wing. We also have the "Radical Left", which is centrist with pretty liberal economic policies but doing a pretty good job not being racist. These two parties are funny to me. Also, the Socialist People's Party is centre left, with the "Unity List" being far left.

Yea I know, it's just funny. I've always enjoyed the milquetoast liberals being called The Radical Left (named so because they splintered from The Left). If anyone else cares, here's more: Unity List is named thus because they're a coalition of marxists, leninists, maoists, etc (yet they recently struck references to revolution from their programme, shameful). Also, "The Left" were formed in opposition to The Conservatives who used to be called The Right. Carthag Tuek has a new favorite as of 20:54 on Feb 22, 2020 |

It's one of the scrolling images on Visme's scatter-plot maker. I honestly can't decide if this makes it better or worse. On one hand, they're not pretending that the data is real or has any meaning whatsoever. On the other hand, somebody made that chart, looked at it, and thought: "Yes. This is the image we want to use to advertise our company's services." https://www.visme.co/scatter-plot-maker/

The Left have also been allies with the Conservatives and they have formed multiple governments. The big reason Denmark is impossible to compare to the USA is that we don't have any real religious crap, like opposition to homosexuality and abortion. Basically, the Christian Democrats are the only ones trying to go on that direction, and they are slightly less popular than the "let's genocide the Muslims, trust me, I'm a lawyer, I can get around the Constitution" party called Tough Stance. In fact, the Conservatives chairman is openly gay, which would never happen in the GOP.

The Merkinman posted:As an American I'm confused. You seem to be saying political beliefs are some kind of spectrum or something. It's not all black and white, liberal vs conservative, Democrat vs Republicans, us vs them?? No, but due to drift in the political rhetoric, Democrats in USA are driving similar things that centrist or right-leaning centrists are doing in general in Europe, and US Republicans, are more right-wing/free capitalism than most of right wing parties of Europe. Left-leaning parties, such as social democrats are people such as Bernie Sanders, and while they are wildly popular in Europe, they are seen as "communists" in some part of USA. The "real" lefties, communists and especially hardliners, stalinists, maoists or leninists, are still present in most parts of Europe, but basically non-existent in USA. So basically on an imaginary spectrum from left to right, USA uses center to right for its main parties, whereas Europeans still have real left-centrist-right. And the green parties. and fundamentalists as non-right party. And anarchists and nazis and... So the names are the same, but the meaning differs greatly between USA and in general, European politics.

The order you put "black and white" implies that the Democrats are the Bad Party™. But actually, the Republicans are the Bad Party™ and the Democrats are the Good Party™. You are hereby sentenced to watching one (1) Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign speech to correct this misunderstanding. May Barack Obama have mercy on your soul.

I hope this is a joke since even as a dirty foreigner, it was apparent that Hillary was doing a victory lap without realizing that she wasn't exactly winning the thing with a large margin, while Trump was running an outsider-new ideas-underdog-hatevote- campaign which has the the annoying habit of being a real threat. Also Russians but that is an afterthought now. I'm just saying that there were exactly one presidential campaigner, who made an appearance on every lower state no matter how unnecessary it was. And that wasn't the one doing the victory lap.
