"very close to actually winning"

"8% of the popular vote"

"Very close"

...

Yes, that was only 25% short.

[–] Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah if only 4x more than what they actually got, they totally could have won. You do understand that 25% is nowhere near "very close"

[–] explodicle@local106.com 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No. I'm telling you that within 25% is close and you're trying to argue that it's not.

He would need at MINIMUM 3x+ votes more than he got in order to win. That isn't close.

We seem to agree entirely on how math works, yet disagree entirely as to how easily 25% of voters can change their minds.
