Psst. 59,704,886 < 59,938,290 + 4,072,835 + 1,218,065 + 804,228

If you can't do basic arithmetic, you should lose your career in this field, imo.




And if you think ~half of the country is so horribly racist or sexist they should lose their jobs on grounds of bigotry and hate speech you've got bigger problems than the ability to do math. People just want change and Trump's offering more than just discrimination, he did well amongst white women and beat Romney's numbers with many non-white demographic groups.

He might not be my first choice, but I won't discredit all of his supporters over it.


lol I never said that. I said people who work in computer science who say that <50% is a majority have a serious problem with math and should look for work elsewhere given the nature of our field.


Fair enough, I thought you were trying to imply that because Clinton has the popular vote that that sort of opinion is okay.


The popular vote margin is razor thin and votes are still trickling in.


Whats the 4,072.. an the1,218...numbers youre adding?


National vote counts for Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, respectively.


Everyone else.


By that logic Clinton's supporters are a minority too. After all,

59,938,290 < 59,704,886 + 4,072,835 + 1,218,065 + 804,228
