    Graph seriously needs a labeled y-axis. Content paywalled.

      The label is above. The graphs communicate clearly.

        But the one that is designed to draw you in and have an immediate negative reaction isn’t labeled at all. It’s just an unlabeled hockey stick graph designed to upset people.

          “US Voters, % Agreeing” applies to both charts. It’s a single diagram.

          This is all bog standard shit. We don’t actually follow the ‘rules’ set forth in Grade 7 math class. You know that, right? Things that are obvious with just the slightest bit of reading for understanding are usually not repeated.

            I don’t think you are aware of what we are talking about, and you’re being an asshole.

            Let’s start with: there are two pictures.

            Let’s move on to: one has labelled axes, the other does not.

            Now: reread the thread, and try to feel extra dumb to make up for what a dick you just were.

              They’re getting heated yeah, but I don’t see the issue with the graphs.

              The x-axis is the year (not labelled, but reasonably inferred)

              The Y-axis is percent of Americans agreeing (numbered on the right instead of the usual left, but explained in the header)
