I had a random conversation today with someone that knew absolutely nothing about politics and wasn’t sure about voting. I would guarantee you that if Harris herself talked to this person they would go vote for her.
Here we have some serious selection bias. Not necessarily right vs left, but interested enough to be commenting about it on the fediverse.
