Actually, that statistic is terrific.

Rick B says a “consensus” is typically only 50% of the population; with 60% of the population you have Mass Accord.

When you’ve got only 27% believing something, functionally you’ve got no one.

(That might be an exaggeration–if Rick turns up he can weigh in. But if it is an exaggeration, it’s not by much. This is why I always say we need 50 to 60% of the country to hold a shared narrative about Vietnam. We don’t need any more than that to be at peace over the issue. Majority rule, remember?!)
