    Also most of these surveys admit bias towards the right because it’s generally them that are stupid enough to do phone surveys.

        I think they are trying to relate being on the right to being stupid and that the right also tend to do phone surveys. Not relating being stupid to taking phone surveys specifically.

        Not that i have any opinion one way or the other.

        Just felt like you took the meaning of their comment in a way that was not intended.

          they said “people that are stupid enough to do phone surveys” - this is pretty explicit in my view.

            What they actually said was

            Also most of these surveys admit bias towards the right because it’s generally them that are stupid enough to do phone surveys.

            So, breaking that down, surveys are mostly done by people on the right. And its “generally them that are stupid enough” (so people on the right are stupid) “to do phone surveys”

            So whilst op does seem to think you have to be stupid to do phone surveys, what they are trying to say is that people on the right are the only ones stupid enough to do them. Because people on the right are stupid.
