Really should be counted as more or something. It's sounds like more gibberish

We don't have a exact count of the popular vote in caucuses because the caucus vote is a sort of electoral vote as it's cast by (small r) representatives. So the popular vote is estimated and therefore inaccurate. In fact it's accurately estimated by good statisticians.

...this post is that there WILL BE a meme about this, and it will be from Bernie Sanders. Of course, that is likely to be unverifiable, as floating the meme primes one to receive the next packet and hence anyone could float said meme and now the mindset is prepared to think it was definitely from Bernie. Or, it may well be from Bernie and be accurate. My point is not to say the post is true or false, but to show that it's a meme of it's own and why/how it could be used.

You know, just for accuracy and all.

And yes, I did countermeme by pointing out how the original meme could be used. Heady stuff, neh? But now you have to wonder when you got infected with the meme meme in the first place.

7. Riduculous! Evcen Sanders admits she is ahead by millions of votes!

He says in every stump speech he has received 9 million votes. She has received 12.5. See the difference?

And don't they see that by adding the caucuses, her vote count would also increase?

Bit the fact that neither of them factor the Caucasus votes in they vote count is proof that adding it would hardly make any difference
