39.5 = 40

0.5 = 1

40 + 1 = 41

———————-

55.5 = 56

0.5 = 1

56 + 1 = 57

———————-

3.5 = 4

Since the original 5 numbers only add up to 95.5, you have a leftover 0.5 to distribute between them. After doing so, you would have what could have been the original results before rounding.

Using strongly/somewhat for approve and disapprove:

39.5 + 0.5 + 55.5 + 0.5 + 3.5 = 99.5

That could work.

Edit: Accidentally replied to myself instead of you

40.5 + 56.5 + 3.5 = 100.5

Something’s not right.

What do you mean? That the number of leftists who threw their votes away were not enough to make a difference in the election? Maybe.

I don’t think Trump has friends

The term genocide was coined to describe the Holocaust, so it literally was the first one. Back in Genghis Khan’s day, they just called Tuesday.

Maybe a few more years of MoreWrong will convince you that LessWrong is so named for a reason

I’m assuming most of the commenters here don’t directly support Trump, but rather threw their votes away (where applicable; yes, I’m aware some of you live in deep red or blue states, or not in the US at all 🙄)

Yeah, you could really feel the love in the air when Trump invited Bill’s rape victims to the debate in 2016 and loomed over Hillary and vowed to imprison her.

Based on some of these replies, I think more than a couple commenters here might actually support the OG genocide

And how’d that work out for them? Are the “settlers” back home in Europe now? Are the Palestinians happy with the outcome?

I don’t know. I’m just so annoyed with people who ushered in Trump 2.0 when they really should have known better. There’s nothing to be don’t about it now, so sometimes I needle the morons for entertainment.

I’m not being Hitler. Jesus, kids. Social media incentivizes maximalist positions, and this has clearly not been good for society.

So every American administration has been “committing genocide” since 1948? I wonder why your shrill screeching doesn’t attract more converts to the cause.

If you’re talking about the Soviet Union, there is some other stuff they lived without too.

I don’t support genocide. Ironically, you are the one who supports MAGA by helping them get elected.

I’m not a supporter of Israel

Most of your replies are impotent, scatological rage. You’re saying your vote didn’t matter because you’re from NY. Yawn. How would you have voted in PA? That’s what I thought.

Maybe we do live in different timelines
