Another fun fact: No they don’t, they are supposed to represent the states that they are senators of, not directly the people.

I wanted to look into this tweet. There are too many caveats to this to make it true. So it's definitely a disingenuous meme/tweet if not an outright lie. When I read it, I interpreted it as popular vote each senator received versus their opponent. Not popular vote for POTUS.

The problem (as usual) is California. The opponents in 2018 and 2016 were both Democrats for the senate seats. So if you include the losers votes, it is easy to get to 18M more popular vote on a straight party line. I'm almost positive this is how this person came to this conclusion.

And no, I'm not saying the right doesn't lie in their memes. Generally speaking, when they do lie, it's for humors sake. Like Michelle Obama and her penis. No sane person will believe that. Whereas this meme/tweet about 18M more popular vote, is eaten up by the left as true even though it's provably false by just looking at the results from 2014, 2016 and 2018 Senate races. No one wants to take the time to back the claim up, so they believe it. Another reason the left sucks at memes. If you're going to lie at least make it funny and not truly misleading.

If you're going to lie at least make it funny and not truly misleading.

The point with the left's memes is not to be funny by satirizing or exaggerating existing facts, but to mislead entirely. That is all you can do when facts are not on your side.

Case in point of the right meme'ing better. Actually, it doesn't even matter your beliefs. There's not ONE person on the left that can disagree with this. Not one. They should all laugh at it because it's true. Good one CBD.

A Fun Fact

So I did the math. (Article 1)

Population of states where both senators voted guilty (19 states): 143,627,585

Population of states where both senators voted Not guilty (21 states):
128,240,933

[Difference of 15,386,652]

Population of states where vote was split (10 states):
55,665,265

For article 2 move Utah's 3,205,985 people from split to not guilty.

This is why we have a senate... so the states with larger populations dont overrun the smaller ones.

Shouldn't that be a dumpster on fire?

That’s Democratic Party right there.

You looking into Biden’s crime is a crime.

I thought this was a political humor thread? Most of this shit is flat out false and not remotely funny lately.

@Patrick - maybe make it so you can ignore individual posts? I'm ultimately at fault for clicking into this one all the time and should probably self ignore it, but there are epic levels of retardation here. I disagree with Marcus on many things and him probably likewise with me, but he has good and valid points on topics, so the only way for me to not see this post is to ignore him and all his comments/posts completely. In all honesty I don't want to do that.

The amount of vomit ejected onto this post in the last 24 hours is disturbing, at least to me. You see the comment count number and you'd have thought there was some good stuff. I won't talk about specific users, but I now wish the Corona virus on myself after checking this post this morning....
