>Anyone else annoyed by the sloppiness/conservative bias of this graph?
No just you

>If scaled properly both would have 20 as red/max
By your standards, that would be an absolute comparison and not a normalized comparison which is what the image is. It shows you information about the spread of a population more than it's absolute difference which is probably what this paper was exploring (not that I read it).

>making conservatives have yellow(12) colored preferences at most and no orange or red preferences
When comparing to the opposing scale, which is the incorrect scale for the domain because it's been normalized to a different group. The red peak for the left graph is between rings 3 and 4, ironically if it were absolute like you wanted I probably couldn't have pointed that out.

>I tried pointing this out on /pol/ but only got idiotic responses of people that didn't even read my post
I believe that you believe that

>let's hope/see if /sci/ has a better attention span
A fantastic one; you made up a bias in your head and got angry about it that's the answer.
