  • Ok, I didn’t look at the states that Harris won, because that would’ve taken longer and complicated things.

    Only looked at states that trump won.

    Interesting fact: if you strategically place 12 million more votes, you can win literally every single state and secure all votes.

    Most fun way to win (imo): 1.5 million in Texas for 40 votes and then another 1.5 million in Florida for another 30.

    Most efficient points/voter states:

    Michigan needed 80k for 15 votes

    Georgia needed 120k for 16

    Pennsylvania needed 145k for 19

    And Nevada needed 52k for 6

    For a grand total of 400k you’d get 56 votes that could’ve taken Harris from 226 to 282 and would’ve secured the win.

    Other close calls:

    North Carolina needed 200k for 16 votes

    Arizona needed 140k for 11



  • The original comment to which you replied said “Millions of people stayed home. I really doubt Gaza was the reason for all of them.”

    We’ve agreed that millions of people did stay at home. So I don’t see the problem. Yes, they often stay at home. That’s the problem. When it’s two of more of the same it’s more understandable. But both sides have been pretty clear about what’s at stake. And they still stayed home. That’s it. And you’ve agreed that 1/3 of the people didn’t vote.

    Not sure how the op was untruthful or misleading or based in any way “off of feelings and emotions”.

    Millions of people chose to allow this to happen. And yeah, Gaza wasn’t the reason.









  • Not saying getting 10 mil likes is easy, because it’s not, but that ratio of likes to views is pretty low in your example. Mr beast has 30 mil likes for a video with 150 mil views, for example. (Which, in all fairness, has a much higher ratio than average, but still)

    So you actually believe that after the elections are over when one of the two candidates will inevitably win that your 3rd party vote will have done anything other than the obvious 2 things? (Either nothing or just raise trump’s chance to win). If you actually care, the sensible thing to do is make everything possible to make sure trump doesn’t win then start protesting asap and doing everything in your power for the next 4 years to make sure you get more and better options.
