  • Since I know you love this stuff… Take a group of 100 people. And ask them to pick A or B. 75% of them choose A. If you then pick a radom subset, the odds are that more than half picked A. Of course there exist subsets that didn’t. But that is just how percentages work. That would be evidence, but not proof. Because odds are the subset would have picked A over B, but it isn’t proof that the subset did. So. There is no particular reason to think that the subset of rural voters who have no ups and such are exceptionally different from all rural voters as a whole. They may be, but odds are they aren’t. Thus evidence, and not proof. Your implication is that rural voters who don’t have ups and such service voted more for Harris than Trump? He didn’t run on abolishing the usps. So why would that aspect make a difference? In general, rural voters are the ones that will be hurt most by trumps policies, yet per the link, they voted for him. See what I did there. I gave you the next thing to pivot to.
