Do you think there's a chance there's a selection bias to your random sampling of the population?

Do you think there's a chance there's a selection bias to your random sampling of the population?
It's easier if you just tell me what the bias is.
Incidentally, there are many less privileged people around me and, let me tell you, they're not going to work on foot.
Most people are friends with people like themselves?
The selection bias of extrapolating an entire country (not to mention one as large and diverse as usa) by using your friend group should be very obvious.
Yet I wasn't talking about my friends. I live in a large city and get to see many people I don't know every single day.
Incidentally, my friends are much more likely to not need to drive at all (tech or otherwise who WFH) than the average person around me.

Just read all the answers in this thread. Your PoV is far from reality, especially at a time where elections are decided by single digit margins.
Do any of them take the bus to work?
