      How is apple vs PC different from apple vs windows?

      Oh man. Well, first of all, you’re about to be accosted by a hundred GNU/Linux users.

      Secondly Windows is an OS, while PC is generally a hardware spec. Plus the PC on the right shows HP, which is not Windows, but rather a PC manufacturer.

      What makes you believe more Democrats are apple users?

      The whole thing is a generalization. I am generalizing based on personal observations.

          Everywhere is more PC than Mac, by a lot. But chart shows if they only had Mac users in Texas voting, it goes deep blue. PC voters only is more split and favors Trump.

            Hmm, okay. Maybe I’m being dense, but how does that tell us where one platform or the other has more liberal or conservative users?

              You’re not being dense I promise, it’s a pretty useless data point. My understanding is not many people responding to the poll using a Mac chose Trump, thus it must be the liberal’s choice platform.
