Impression “Like a stingray”

  • I’m curious if the tail part is a political feature or a systemic one (e.g., people choosing “I don’t know” or “neutral” on everything).

    • If you look at the data, there’s a “don’t know” for each question, and I’m including that one-hot expression.
  • If even UMAP can’t separate them, there’s no way PCA can.

    • There was some kind of cluster sticking out of the PCA, so maybe that’s the stingray’s tail.
  • The opinion vectors of anonymous citizens are not so clearly separated.
