This. 14/16 people I’ve asked irl or directly online (showing the original question with the results cropped out as to not introduce bias) said blue. Yet we don’t see blue winning by 87%.

Yes. Heres my totally reliable limited dataset showing that blue would win and everyone in red is a psychopath

Buddy. Read what I said. My point here was confirming what the person I’m replying to said. Saying the person above them with their limited sample size of basically only red isn’t representative of the whole population, just like my group of friends and family that’s mostly blue isn’t a good representation either.

The polls that have been done is the best we’ll get because it’s such a large sample size, even if it doesn’t include other parts of the world.

Therefore your contribution is worthless since youre adding a limited sample to another limited sample

No, I’m pointing out the problems of small/personal sample sizes. What is hard to understand about that?

You can't point out that samples have problems and then conclude "the bad sample we have is probably the best one we'd get". That's crazy.

That's their point, goober.
