1. I'll solve your problem

Sanders won Vermont by 97,528 votes
Clinton won New York by 290,614 votes

[wildeyed]

3. Obey the math!

[Human101948]

14. Yes if you divide those numbers by the population of each state it equals...

.15 percent in each case. Apples to apples, Einstein.

On edit: Actually Hillary's percentage was .015

Sorry for the error.

[wildeyed]

16. I don't even know what you are saying.

Something about apples and Einstein? Mixed metaphors that came out wrong? IDK....

The ONLY math that matters is who got more votes, how that affects the delegate count and how many more your candidate needs to win. No one cares what the percentage was in Vermont anymore. And Clinton won plenty of other states with equally huge margins, but lucky for her they were states with way more people in them

[Human101948]

17. Innumeracy was a great book...

I don't know if you have the IQ level for it but you may benefit from it.

[wildeyed]

18. And STRAIGHT to the ad hominem attack!

Because it takes a YUUUUUGE IQ to do that You should try "Logical Fallacies for Dummies"

[Buzz Clik]

28. "Apples to apples, Isaac Newton!" Better?

[boston bean]

29. I'm beginning to think it's banana's to banana's.

[Buzz Clik]

30. +1

[wildeyed]

31. Much!

That kinda makes sense.... I think the apple fell out of the tree and hit *someone* on the head last night

[HillareeeHillaraah]

34. Yes but if you add up the body mass of everyone who voted for Clinton ...

Divide that by the acreage of the overall state, then subtract all the left handers (because why not) and then add back in a +.02 for anyone who car pooled to their polling place you'll see that Sanders' win in Vermont was statistically greater than Clinton's in NY.

[wildeyed]

35. And then divide it by apple (BIG apple, nuknuknuk), minus the prevailing wind speed,

because that is VOTER SUPPRESSION because harder for Sanders supporters to get to the polls (she controls the wind, too, part of her 1%er super powers!), then you will see that Sanders got more double digit-y votes in VT AND actually won NY, when you consider that Albany voters are ALSO worth triple weight! Here is the mathematical formula if you want to check my work!

VT = (v)3

NY = NYCv/3+(ALBv)3 = Sanders Wins NY!!!!!!!!



I ACTUALLY saw people on FB trumpeting the fact that Sanders won more counties in NY like that meant something. I kept walking real fast and tried not to make eye contact, because that is some CRAZY shit #berniemath

[rjsquirrel]

50. Hilarious

watching bS supporters come up with frantic ways of calculating hitherto irrelevant numbers to prove that in some alternate mathematical universe he is rally winning.

No, he is losing. By double digits. Which means "not close." We don't count land mass or percentage of left handed college graduates as significant. We count votes and delegates.

And one candidate is far ahead in both.

[dubyadiprecession]

4. Don't tell me he lost his home state of NY....

He said he was going to win it! i thought he was honest and trustworthy.

[passiveporcupine]

19. The home of wall street,

And the state with the highest number of millionaires and billionaires.

And you don't think that made a difference?

[oberliner]

38. Hillary won 59-41 with those whose income was under $30,000

Those are not Wall Street people (or millionaires/billionaires).

[leftynyc]

44. The south Bronx, East New York

Harlem, all filled with BILLIONAIRES. All went heavily for Clinton. Try a less ridiculous argument.

[tdb63]

5. my point exactly

Exactly, would you define those two numbers with the same phrase? This question isn't about Sanders v Clinton. It's about truth in journalism and misleading statements.

[wildeyed]

15. There is NOTHING misleading

about saying that Clinton won NY by double digits. Because SHE DID. People who want to know how many that actually means will be able to figure it out. It is not a hard.

[lunamagica]

9. FeelTheMath!

[TM99]

32. I'll solve your's.

Compare size, population and total delegate counts.

Clinton did not win a landslide last night in her home senatorial state. Period.

[k8conant]

2. I agree completely.

Journalistic jargon...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. "I'll solve your problem."

"Sanders won Vermont by 97,528 votes
Clinton won New York by 290,614 votes."

[tdb63]

7. Why would you copy someone elses answer and post it just to put that stupid gif in this thread?

Do you think that gif is relevant to my question?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. The gif is in my signature and it is awesome.

Oh:


I'll solve your problem."


"Sanders won Vermont by 97,528 votes
Clinton won New York by 290,614 votes."

[tdb63]

10. I understand it's your signature

but you have nothing to contribute to this thread other than your signature? The question is...do you just go around re-posting others answers JUST so you can have your signature in the thread?

[Codeine]

11. If he doesn't he should, because his GIF is fucking awesome. nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. It's mesmerizing.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. What?

[wildeyed]

20. This one is nice, too, if you like dancing and rainbows!

I bet she feels like dance after winning NY by double digits

[seabeyond]

22. I want that. Nt

[wildeyed]

24. It is yours!

I give it to you as a gift to commemorate Hillary Clinton's double digit primary win over Bernie Sanders in the Empire State Democratic Primary on Tuesday, April 19, 2016

[seabeyond]

25. Oh woman.... you make me feel....

?w=292&h=365

I have to get out of Texas. That is all. I really really do.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. I like this one

[seabeyond]

26. Love this one too. Nt

[wildeyed]

27. Nice!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

39. A message board ....

...Hey Hillary Assholes,,,

A message board is not the appropriate forum to work through your anger management issues.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

42. A message board is no place to work through your anger management issues.

Levity is a good thing. If you can't see it I am sure there are resources, offline and online, that you can take advantage of to help you deal with whatever you are going through.

[tdb63]

43. Seriously, what is your problem? Insecurity?

Why in the hell do you continue to post shit where it doesn't belong? Why are you even on my thread, you have not contributed 1 intelligent sentence to my original post. Just go away little person. Can you answer 1 question I have asked you?

[leftynyc]

45. You need to learn

what a message board is all about. Nobody is obligated to stick to the topic and we're allowed to post whatever we like (except in LBN where it actually has to be LBN or GD where GD-P stories don't belong). You should also learn some manners and realize that calling anyone "Hillary assholes" is only going to get your ass kicked all over the thread.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

48. He is really upset. I think we should try to comfort him and give him succor.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

47. You are really upset about this.

Just go away little person. Can you answer 1 question I have asked you?

If I go away how can I answer your question?

You are really upset about this. If such a picayune matter drives you to apoplexy what is your response to more serious matters? As I said there are resources available for you to help with your anger management issues.

[seabeyond]

21. OMG..... Lol lol lol. Series!!111!!1!!1!!!

[nolawarlock]

33. I don't know ...

[Recursion]

37. OK, but most victories are not by more than 9%

If you win 54-46, you won by 8 points, which is a single digit victory.

If you win 56-44, you won by 12 points, which is a double digit victory.

[Demnorth]

41. I agree.

You make it clear in your last sentence. It's very literal, I can understand the distinction you're making. For me, as long as they include the numbers!

I probably haven't heard the term as much as you have, though. There is one reference I've heard way too much that began to grate on me, but might be inflammatory if I said what it was. I'm sure everyone has a collection of their least favorite overused campaign terms.

[liberal N proud]

46. In any math class I ever took, that is double didgits

But that is math, kind of like science, the numbers don't lie.
