    I was providing an example of how little ‘winning’ the popular vote matters at all.

    No you weren’t. Again, do you just not understand the concept of degrees of effect? That’s the entire point that you’re ignoring.

    And I’m very concerned about you. It is not feigned

      I watched Bush get elected while losing the popular vote and he invaded two countries

      I was providing an example of how little ‘winning’ the popular vote matters at all.

      to which you reply

      No you weren’t

      How… does that not demonstrate that the popular vote doesn’t matter?

        I swear Lemmy has some of the dumbest people on the internet. Do you have the faintest idea what the point of this entire post and thread is? Have you heard of harm reduction? I just can’t engage with people this dumb anymore. Good luck figuring it out

      I sincerely don’t think that getting a slightly narrower margin would make an impact in how these people behave.

      And I’m very concerned about you. It is not feigned

      Why, am I suspicious?
