It has always been funny to me that by demographics I should be liberal, but I'm not. Young college-educated white women are disproportionately liberal, as are atheists (I think 80-90% are liberal), as are bisexuals (I think LGBTQ+ members are probably also 80%+ liberal).

The Economist had a "build-a-voter" interactive before Biden dropped out that said based on those demographics there's a 95% chance I would vote for Biden. But no one talks about the outliers, as you said. If anything, they're the most fascinating group!

Really good point, Clare. There's no way you should be anything but a liberal! What gives! Too much independent thinking.
