        Not only does the article you replied to show that your numbers are completely wrong, but your comment isn’t even internally consistent… 462,657 is like 3% of 16.2 million, not less than 1%. What are you smoking?

            Again, your numbers are completely and totally wrong to begin with, proved by the very article you replied to—I’m just ALSO saying that even using your wildly incorrect numbers you’re still wrong in yet another way

        Because our military targets poor, undereducated individuals, which by and large exist in red districts/states.

        Fucked up any way you look at it

          He’s not even right. There’s 18 million veterans and veterans went 55/45 Trump. That’s 9 million not 16, and if he can’t see why the active duty force voting against their commander in chief is significant then I have no help for him.

              Oh no, a 3 percent difference between pre election polling and exit polling!

              This is rock solid evidence of skullduggery! Woe is me.

                  You claimed 16 million veterans voted for Trump when it was actually 9 million. I’m not good at math but I think that’s more than 1 percent.

                  Edit to add, that includes assuming every veteran votes. Adding in the apathy rate it’s more like 4.5 million. So that’s what 75%?

                    these were exit polls in 2016 were much worse and disprove your point even further; keep digging that hole for yourself.

                    also; you should stop using 2 lemmy accounts to try to prove your disapproved point; accept the loss and move on.
