Not sure you understand how cells work.

I wasn't arguing your logic but that of Fred. He used the concept of "alive" cells. And then pointed to sperm and eggs. My argument is that "alive" can be extended to all cells of the body ( excluding skin cells and the like). Ergo, people of the largest mass will have more cells (slightly skewed towards men, due to men being larger on average).

I do understand how cells work.

Not necessarily. Some fat people who are not men, will also rule. But mua ha ha ha ha indeed!

But fat men will not only have the large body mass, but also the sperm cells.

Oh snap, you're right (per se, doesn't "fatness" affect sperm count, maybe?. But numbers are still exponential relative to eggs, so maybe a moot question after all in the context of gender).

Either way this interaction has brought a hearty laugh on my side.

If that's true then why are we losing our fattest president since Taft and replacing him with a man who looks like a broken down marionette?

Because the fat men simply didn't want to vote for Trump? It's based on the built-in logic, right? Cause Bels said that fat men will have voting power not that they will vote for another fat man.

Nate Silver tweeted this map before the election was called.

Personally, given a lot of state-by-state and region-by-region variation, I suspect it will turn out to reflect a combination of several different factors. The same goes (polls aside) for vote shifts from 2016 to 2020. This is a WEIRD, CRAZY map! https://t.co/eehs4ElQ1U pic.twitter.com/9W8EcpUeC8

Pretty interesting to see the shifts from 2016 to 2020.



I'd also note that AZ doesn't show a giant shift in idiot votes as much as a shift both ways depending on region.

Trump seems to have fallen victim to the same thing Clinton did in 2016:  He was unpopular enough that a large amount of voters turned out to vote for the other guy.  Trump now has the second largest vote total in a Presidential election.  And lost.
