Yep I know this. If you look at the comment I was responding to. They said that he paid 20% of his net worth in taxes in a year. Which was not true. The comment or even replied that I was right. It’s just a math error. What you’re talking about is irrelevant. 🤷
I feel like that sounds mean but I’m not trying to be. You make very good points. It’s just not relevant to what was being said.
Yep, That’s the number I gave.
His networth is 5.4 billion. 20% of that is a bit over a billion… So not really.
I think you divided 5.4 billion by $275 million. Saw that it came out to almost 20. That means it’s about 5%. Easy mistake to make. I do it all the time.

Great for them! Happy for you Vietnam 🙂
The popular vote does not determine elections. I don’t know how many times I have to tell people that. Do you know Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016 but lost the election? The popular vote does not matter. It doesn’t seem you have the ability to learn new information, so I’m going to stop replying to you. I hope you one day learn that you don’t have to speak on topics you don’t understand. Good luck little buddy✌️
Ok buddy. This topic and level of nuance seems to be above your comprehension level. I’m going to leave you with a few facts. I won’t be responding to you after this.
I voted third party in 2016. Jill Stein.
Hillary Clinton won my state in 2016 easily. It’s a very blue state.
Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016 but lost the election.
I hope you spend some time to fill in the gaps of information you don’t know. I hope you one day learn that it’s okay not to know everything and to not pretend like you know more than you do. Best of luck ✌️
A second ago convincing everyone on lemmy wasn’t “even a single digit percent” now it could be a few percent and change the result of the election🤣? Do you see why I think you are ignorant and dramatic?
Like dude I get it trump and his fascist cronies are scary as fuck. But My state will not suddenly become contested in the 2024 election. I guarantee it. It will be blue. My vote for a third party just slowly puts their number up over time to get us out of this mess. The more people who can do that the better. Obviously if you’re in a swing state or state that could become contested. Yeah, vote for the lesser evil. I’m not in that situation. If you’re not able to grasp that, that’s your problem.
All right and if you got every single person on lemmy to vote for the dems or the Republicans, it wouldn’t change the outcome of the election. Are you saying this argument determines absolutely nothing? Because I agree lol.
Do you know that the popular vote doesn’t determine the outcome of US presidential elections? Cuz it sounds like you don’t understand that. I’m totally for switching to rank choice voting. Sadly we need elected politicians to do that sooooo not really productive 🤷
If we vote in some third party candidates who are actual leftist, they might enact rank choice voting. So maybe start there.
Yes, I’m annoyed because you don’t even understand my country’s voting system or why it would matter what state you live in when it comes to voting yet you want to mansplain it to me. You are insufferable lol. I wish men like you who think that they can just guess the correct thing which shut the f****** when someone who knows what they’re talking about is speaking. I’m not going to reply to you again. 🖕
Bro, I live in one of the bluest states. It will not go red. If I were in a swing state I’d understand where you’re coming from. If you don’t understand the difference then this conversation isnt productive.
There are literally more options. It’s people like you that prevent a third option from becoming mainstream. Do you understand that??
Nope, it’s actually a vote for a third party. Vote for Biden is a vote for Trump. See how dumb that sounds?

Not sure how you got that out of my comment. I knew the literacy rates in the US were bad but jeeze.
Nope and if you don’t understand there are more than two options that’s a you problem. 😜
Ayyye exactly 👈😎. Glad you’re on the same page stranger.
Can I pet that dog?
