I was providing an example of how little ‘winning’ the popular vote matters at all.

No you weren't. Again, do you just not understand the concept of degrees of effect? That's the entire point that you're ignoring.

And I'm very concerned about you. It is not feigned

I swear Lemmy has some of the dumbest people on the internet. Do you have the faintest idea what the point of this entire post and thread is? Have you heard of harm reduction? I just can't engage with people this dumb anymore. Good luck figuring it out

And I’m very concerned about you. It is not feigned
