It literally tells us their own perception of the terms. The information you’re demanding is different, and there’s an obvious and interesting discrepancy between the favorability of certain policies versus the language used to describe them.
The purpose of polls is not to educate people. It’s to figure out what they think in their dumb misinformed animal minds.
Unironically very funny to talk down about people's dumb animal minds while actively misunderstanding the usability of a survey based on vibes without accounting for vibes.
Why would you comment the same (bs) line twice in different threads?
yOu eVEr hEaR aBouT aPprOPriAtIOn? You're demonstrating exactly why this is a dumbshit survey. It could just as easily mean that it is being effectively appropriated and had its meaning changed you DENSE motherfucker. It doesn't actually tell us anything if we just assume the word itself is what was stigmatized.
For fuck's sake, baby's first peer review.
I don’t understand why you hate this survey. Attitudes about language are incredibly interesting. The fact that most Americans like the ACA but hate Obamacare is useful information.
You don't even know what you're getting from it. Kneejerk interpretation. lol
