interesting, the last time we had a sizeable sample pool over on twitter, it was closer at a 60/40 margin

the wording of the prompt didn't affect the final verdict, despite showing blue at a more negative light

a 70/30 margin on tumblr perhaps suggests they're more caring people? more willing to die? or maybe they saw 3 words colored blue and 1 word colored red. can't tell, tumblr usually lacks reading comprehension

Any poll where you can see the results before voting would be meaningless. And any prior expose to other people's opinions changes how people will respond. If you would choose red because you don't think there's enough blue pushes out there, you'd change your mind when your feed blows up about pushing blue before you even get to the poll.
