2356: High Steaks

Sparrow · 04-01-2016, 11:07 AM

the division of that moose is not in proportion to the the difference between the delegate counts. it looks as though Bernie has a /significant/ overage to Obama and that doesn't feel like the case here.

i'm saying this graph is bullshit.

The division of the colors of the moose aren't to show percentage. That's just the democratic party symbol. The numbers are real. Go look them up. Were you paying attention in 2008? Because Obama was considered as unlikely as they are trying to paint Sanders now.

i didn't say the numbers weren't real, i'm saying they were shittily presented and DO make Bernie seem way more ahead than Obama was. the infographic was poorly designed.

Bernie's great, but let's not deify him or inflate him. it makes you all look like weirdo zealots.

Come on you know that the colour division is mean to imply % share

I work in market research, this is typical shady Fox News level misleading graphs 101

yea im sure whoever created the image was totally banking on people not reading it at all and only looking at the allocation of color representation on the donkey. Give me a fuckin break weirdos.

The picture was put out around the time they voted.

Well Trump should have just responded with one with Ivana, Marla, and Melania. It might have confused some FLDS into thinking he supported polygamy

They picked a visualization that makes their point look good and you picked this one vs a boring bar graph that would show a realistic difference.

Not that you can't make bar graphs fucked up

Its not a graph. It's an image. With numbers on it. So you can't read numbers. Now I know where I'm starting with you.
