  I am sure I am the only one so far who used a “3-sigma-improbable”.

  Everyone else kept talking about electoral college, which means nothing in the context of a popular vote poll.

  To me it seems like you choose to ignore facts.

  Compared to you, I do understand a lot about polls, population samples, sampling methodologies, importance weighting, confidence intervals, and other related stuff. On a level way above high school.

  And I think it’s interesting that you likely talk in the same tone to all your political opponents while insinuating its their lack of education that is the problem. And, it does correlate. Your political opponents on average are less educated than your political supporters. And so, you using that when clearly misrepresenting the facts surely makes them feel like listening to your arguments and carefully considering them. After all, they come from someone better educated than them, yeah?

    Only when someone says blatantly wrong and/or stupid shit, like you

    makes them feel like listening to your arguments and carefully considering them

    Objectively, scientifically, we know that’s not what happens. I do it because you asswipes don’t deserve even the respect of basic human interaction until you accept basic human rights as such, and it’s funny to see you rage online

    Oh yeah? Well my level of understanding is above college so nyeh, I win. I can tell you’re full of shit from the smell of what’s coming out

      Look, you can’t even make a simple logical conjecture. Each of your messages has shown an utter inability of using simple first-order logic. And yet you claim to have a graduate degree in a math-related subject? Tell me more about the smell of what’s coming out.

        I pointed out that your original point about trump supporters getting banned is because they break rules. I then pointed out that you were wrong for claiming 40% of Americans support him. Logic has had 0 to do with this discussion, but I like how you toss it in there to make yourself feel smart

        And yet you claim to have a graduate degree in a math-related subject?

        No, I claim to have above-college-level training in statistics, making fun of your “high school” comment. Your reading comprehension is fucking trash
