Politics Observation 48 hours before election day

Is it just me or others have notice the trend that all the social media (including redditt), and all the tv station there is such a big liberal presence and supporting the liberals, but when talking/overhearing conversation in coffee shops, parks, workplaces etc its overwhelming the support for the conservatives.

Feels like there is two reality around me, one that lives in my cell phone screen and the other out and about.

All of this is anecdotal and not all that meaningful to the bigger picture.

Never saianything about bigger picture. But when 20 other people noticed the same thing or not, you can start notiecing a trend perhaps

You really can't determine a trend from your own anecdotal experience - there are millions of people in this country.

I was asking the community where I live, not the country. I was sasking not to determine the election outcome, but to see if my circle of people is a true representative of the community i live.

Your riding has over 110k people in it. Your sample isn't indicative of that either.

Dude, all I was asking was to see how my fellow community mambers think. I am not taking this for granted, but sure, it will give me a better idea than not asking at all. If one political party targets this region more than the other, we will all notice that.

Again, I am not taking this the reddit comments for granted or to be the truth, but you gotta chill a bit and let people talk. We need more talk and less negating and telling why conversations like this are anecdotal, and perhaps you wanted to say pointless.
