Half of Gen Z voters — and 1 in 4 U.S. voters overall — have lied to people close to them about who they’re voting for, according to the latest Axios Vibes survey by The Harris Poll.

The findings raise big questions about the limits and future of polling, which relies on voters giving responses reflecting their real-life political behavior.

    If you read the article, you’ll see that Democrats are afraid to engage with bigots, because bigots are often violent. For many people, their very existence is reason enough for a Republican to attack or kill them. If my rhetoric offends you, I don’t believe that you’re not one of the bigots.

      It’s not just bigots, if that was the case why would independents and republicans also lie about it? There is also nothing in the article that purports that all the democrats who lie about voting are doing so to bigots im beginning to think you still haven’t read it. It would in fact be ridiculous to believe something that total and conclusive across the 27% of gen z democrats who admit to lying about it.

      from the article

      Voters across the political spectrum said they’ve lied about their voting: 27% of Democrats acknowledged it, while 24% of Republicans and 20% of independents did so. The survey didn’t ask exactly how, why or to whom they’d lied

      very curious how you claim all of the democrats only lie to bigots considering no one measured that.
