Like, what are you even claiming
simple as
This is showing the actual vote counts
Democrats are more concentrated, so the dots are fewer, but larger
Republicans are more distributed, so the dots are smaller, but many
If you add up all the area or all the dots, the blue would be a little larger than the red- what was the final margin?
2.1%
Was Clinton’s margin of popular victory
simple as
... yes honey, simple as
Do you understand it now?
people use deceptive charts all the time, i'm not surprised you don't see the bias
You haven’t made a claim of what the bias is
that was the first thing I did
No you didn’t
I forgot that you can't read
sorry
You just said something that was a misinterpretation of what the chart shows
What’s your confusion about the chart?
there is no confusion
it's a map to make the republicans look like they represented much less of the vote than they did
Give me an example of a city that you think is improperly represented
Or county
look at like over 60% of the republican counties, they are obviously not the same population but they are represented by the same exact sized squares
Those are very small populations
They are relatively the same size
no they aren't
They are to a scale that lets us see that New York is where New York is
Otherwise the New York circle would cover up the entire eastern seaboard
Ok, please name any 2 counties you think have significantly different populations
That you feel are misrepresented here
like nashville is pretty large on the chart
I’m willing to be proven wrong, but you have to make a concrete claim here
but my city is like 1/3 the size and it's like much tinier
What’s your city?
not going to say
Then I can’t evaluate that claim
Give me the name of a city
basically my city is like 1/12th the size on the chart
That you feel is roughly the same size as your city
