    Congratulations on mastering the ability to count. Today we’ll learn how addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, ratios work. Strap in kidd its a wild ride!

    Trump has 30 votes Hilary has 8 votes The difference is 22 A ratio of 4/15ths

    If we add one vote to jill she has 1 vote.

    Now class what is the difference in votes for hilary and trump? … Thats right its still 22! And the ratio between them?.. Thats right! Still 4/15.

    Now class what if we add 31 more votes to jill?.. Thats right both values are unchanged!

    Funny that. What do we say to hilary kids?..

    Thats right! It sucks to suck. Maybe next time she’ll have some good ideas to convince voters to vote for her!

    But lets assume jill wasnt there: where would those votes have gone? …

    No, timy not necessarily. We dont know who would get them or if thise people would have voted for either candidate! We can’t just add them to hilary and trump.

          Copy pasting the same smug wall of text every time is not the political own you think it is. In fact, it makes people not want to read it.

          Maybe you should get off of the internet and enjoy the nature outside. It’s good for people, y’know?

            shrug maybe people should get a clue on what third party votes mean and stop posting the same tired, wrong, and pointless ‘theyre helping Y’ nonsense and ill stop treating them all like children.

            Try taking your own advice. A bit of time away from a screen should help with these feeling that everyone who fails to vote for Harris is a Trump suppprter.
