The accuracy of your graphic can be summed up in one fact. You have Trump up against Clinton somehow. So, if you can't even get that right, it's no wonder the rest is a confusing mess.

So, you're saying that memes from 2016 are somehow relevant to 2024?

“your representation of the real life confusing mess that is US politics was also a confusing mess. downvoted for not simplifying it into something that fits my worldview.”

hilarious and sad. :( genuinely lives are on the line and we can’t put effort into reading a few sentences.

Meme are not supposed to read like math problems in a high school textbook. Memes are supposed to be short memetic thoughts, not long dissertations. That's why they're called Memes, and not essays.

That was long? Oh.

That's literally the joke though? That the expectation is a simple problem, but is actually a deeply complex system

Here you go, simplified version of the meme that I'm 100% sure addresses all of your complaints /s

Did you actually read the text of the meme? The 2016 graph is to show that the electoral college can invalidate the popular vote.

There are 155 million levers. The plurality of the levers might win, but sometimes 46% of the levers is enough to beat 48% (this happened in 2016 due to the electoral college, see above) ----> big arrow pointing to the 2016 election results
