    There is selection bias probably as well. Those who see the poll are selected in particular way.

      Right like the people who follow these scum bags, but even still this result on a major social media site is a sight I never thought I’d see

      Yes, very good point. Selection bias will likely skew any twitter “poll” because the algorithms feed the polls only to what the algorithm believes is the target audience. It’s perpetuating polarization and even extremism because people don’t see rational opposing views that are part of a healthy conversation.
