Anthony Sabatini, who is running for Congress in Florida's 11th district, reportedly made the remarks during June's Florida Teenage Republicans Youth Summit.
Turning to the results, we see evidence of the public underestimating the degree to which their own senators toe the party line. Looking only at the control condition, the average actual party unity of the respondents’ senators is 94.7%.
The party Unity was determined by taking data from voteview.org
I don’t doubt their is high unity, I’m just questioning the claim that it’s higher amongst Republicans, who are generally a tiny bit from fractured in voting when I’ve looked at votes- and from my own comparison of 15 recent votes now. Also looking here the Republicans seem to have a slightly wider spread
I’m not saying this to defend Republicans, just questioning the claim that they’re more unitary in voting.
If you read the linked study, you’d see that you’re pretty typical in underestimating party Unity, the majority of people on both sides do. Your link doesn’t work at all though, so I can’t see what you’re trying to show me.
You realize there are hundreds of votes every session, right? Thousands every year. So you’re not even using 1% as your sample size. The study above used every vote across an entire year.
Listen, you asked for a source, I provided it. You didn’t know how to open it, so I provided it again in an open format. You didn’t read it, didn’t even look at it, and you think that somehow 16 votes is more representative than thousands. I’m done here, if you want to continue discussing on our fascism thread, I’ll continue there, but this line of discussion has clearly devolved to the point where there is no point in continuing it. The data is there, if you decide to read it.
Of course, also why I supplied the other source. But I am not certain Republicans are less united. I just haven’t seen any evidence that they’re more unitary.
I literally provided evidence. Thousands of votes, aggregated professionally and peer reviewed. You have seen evidence, you just refused to acknowledge it.
You did not, the only time you’ve directly referenced the provided source was to say that you could not access it. To which I responded with a publicly accessible link.
Here’sa sci hub link to the study.

I’m not underestimating the unity. I actually tallied the dissenting votes for each party for the last 16 votes in the House

I said I couldn’t find anything in the source saying that. Can you please quote it?
