that was the first thing I did

2019-10-03 21:58:29 UTC  

No you didn’t

2019-10-03 21:58:37 UTC  

I forgot that you can't read

2019-10-03 21:58:37 UTC  

sorry

2019-10-03 21:58:44 UTC  

You just said something that was a misinterpretation of what the chart shows

2019-10-03 21:58:57 UTC  

What’s your confusion about the chart?

2019-10-03 21:59:03 UTC  

there is no confusion

2019-10-03 21:59:14 UTC  

Ok, what’s your specific claim

2019-10-03 21:59:23 UTC  

it's a map to make the republicans look like they represented much less of the vote than they did

2019-10-03 21:59:26 UTC  

Give me an example of a city that you think is improperly represented

2019-10-03 22:00:10 UTC  

Or county

2019-10-03 22:00:41 UTC  

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

2019-10-03 22:01:12 UTC  

Those are very small populations

2019-10-03 22:01:20 UTC  

They are relatively the same size

2019-10-03 22:01:28 UTC  

no they aren't

2019-10-03 22:01:35 UTC  

They are to a scale that lets us see that New York is where New York is

2019-10-03 22:01:54 UTC  

Otherwise the New York circle would cover up the entire eastern seaboard

2019-10-03 22:02:34 UTC  

Ok, please name any 2 counties you think have significantly different populations

2019-10-03 22:02:48 UTC  

That you feel are misrepresented here

2019-10-03 22:03:13 UTC  

like nashville is pretty large on the chart

2019-10-03 22:03:21 UTC  

I’m willing to be proven wrong, but you have to make a concrete claim here

2019-10-03 22:03:28 UTC  

but my city is like 1/3 the size and it's like much tinier

2019-10-03 22:03:36 UTC  

What’s your city?

2019-10-03 22:03:40 UTC  

not going to say

2019-10-03 22:03:53 UTC  

Then I can’t evaluate that claim

2019-10-03 22:03:59 UTC  

Give me the name of a city

2019-10-03 22:04:08 UTC  

basically my city is like 1/12th the size on the chart

2019-10-03 22:04:12 UTC  

That you feel is roughly the same size as your city

2019-10-03 22:04:13 UTC  

or 1/10th

2019-10-03 22:04:30 UTC  

I don’t believe you. Either say the name of your city, or pick another example

2019-10-03 22:04:40 UTC  

no

2019-10-03 22:04:43 UTC  

You didn’t have to say you were from there btw, you could have just brought up a city name

2019-10-03 22:04:45 UTC  

Lol

2019-10-03 22:04:53 UTC  

Ok, so to be clear you have zero examples

2019-10-03 22:05:12 UTC  

You have not one single place you can point to in the entire USA that has the same pop size as your city

2019-10-03 22:06:00 UTC  

See how maaaaybe that seems a little dishonest? For you to be willing to throw out the whole analysis without being willing to support it with ANY concrete claim?

2019-10-03 22:06:26 UTC  

no, it's a fucking deceptive piece of shit

2019-10-03 22:06:33 UTC  

Except it’s totally accurate

2019-10-03 22:06:41 UTC  

not visually

2019-10-03 22:06:44 UTC  

absolutely not

2019-10-03 22:06:44 UTC  

Give me one example where it isn’t
