Wait, what? I’ve never heard anyone claim that those are in in way similar before. That’s a new one for me.

33%, but yeah. Both are true.
66% of eligible are voting, 33% of eligible are not voting. Of the 66% that did vote, half of those (I used 49%) voted for Trump. Half of the 66% is 33%.
So, of the eligible voters, 33% voted Biden, 33% voted Trump, and 33% didn’t vote.
Or, if you want math:
.66 * .49 = .32 or 32%
Edit: I misunderstood the question and gave an off-topic answer. Someone else commented the correct reason: not all Americans are eligible to vote. Children, felons in certain States, etc. Since they didn’t/can’t vote they’re not counted in the “half of America” statistic often quoted.
Half of eligible voters voted for trump, which is about 32% of America in 2020.
49% of the americans
More accurately, 49% of voters. Out of all of the eligible voters in the 2020 election only 66% actually voted. And, that election had the highest turnout in over a century.
So when trying to calculate how many eligible voters voted for Trump in 2020 you’ll have to take the statistics above into consideration.
49% of 66% is 32% if my math is correct. 32% of eligible voters voted for Trump.
Sorry for being pedantic but it annoys me when people say that half of America supports Trump when it’s just not true.
It might not even be that hard. Look how easily they’re manipulated by Trump.
No.
I’m sorry for interjecting such a random reference into the conversation, but it just popped into my head right then. And I’m weird so…
Edit: my friend has a Maine Coon. I’ll ask if it’s a polydactyl. Interesting that it has that genetic trait.
Obvious tactics are obvious.
as soon as you enter the country the murderous part of your brain detaches from the rest and slides into your mouth, which explains the way they talk.
That made me actually laugh out loud. Thanks; I needed that.
I’m not entirely sure. But, one thing is for certain, Salad Fingers likes rusty spoons.
Yes.
But in all seriousness, Linkerbaan is an obvious bad faith actor. They’re actually campaigning for Trump by trying to get people to not vote for Biden.
givesomefucks does this in every single thread that remotely mentions Trump or Biden
Linkerbaan is the same way. It’s so obvious they have an agenda.
“Then also to he would do something rediculous each day so it was hard for them to have time and cover the previous stuff more in depth.”
It’s not exactly the same but that tactic reminds me of the Gish Gallop technique.
Do you know of any good video tutorials? There are so many I don’t know where to start. I tried one and it seemed too fast paced and not that helpful.
For those unfamiliar with Sinclair, here is just one of their shitty tactics:
“This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.”
Exactly. I read all of the current comments and only counted one person defending the abuse of power. It was a very vocal person, but just one person.
I just read every comment on this post and you might be a bit mistaken about how much “normalization and justification for violence” is actually going on here. Everyone, aside from one person (Guydht), is condemning this abuse of force. Everyone.
Just because that one person was very vocal about their opinion doesn’t mean that there was a plethora is of commenters agreeing with him.
Edit: typo.
an excuse to hurt other human beings.
I think the person that keeps arguing that this was justified is one of the “the pain is the point” people. They just want to have an excuse to hurt someone.
Tackle? Them’s rookie tactics. Knee to the neck for 9 minutes or nothing!
You mean to say that child sex trafficking Matt Gaetz also pays for sex? I’m shocked!
