I don't like Hillary or Trump so I'm not voting

Oddly enough, the statistical discrepancy of 11.5 seats STILL doesn't give the Democrats the house.

IceMage is under 25?

Thought he was a get off my lawn old racist white dude

Vote Johnson then.

I thought it was pretty obvious from his posts and gif humor that he is a millennial. Didn't know his age specifically, but he's talked about college pretty frequently in relative close proximity to now, so I've always figured he is in his 20s, and maybe 2-3 or so years in the workforce.



His predictions are usually very conservative so he can't be labeled as incorrect. He casts a wide net over almost everything and then with the benefit hindsight talks about how things were inevitably going to occur the way that they actually did.

There's no doubt he has a lot more knowledge about the election than almost everyone else here, and I also respect acknowledging the vast amounts of uncertainty in the election process, but there's also a lot of political hackery and covering-of-the-bases involved with his posts.

Nah, he just liked to hide behind widow

Not an argument

Statistical propability density is the only argument.

I'm glad I come across that way, the former generations were superior.



Luckily even the old farts of PaRD appreciate my GIF humor.

There's little doubt that Republicans have gerrymandered more than Democrats.

Democrats have nearly a 10 point lead over Republicans nationally among self-identifying adults, so the Republicans have to make up for that somehow in order to stay competitive.

Be it gerrymandering or voter suppression laws, Republicans have disproportionately high representation in our government. This is also exacerbated by the fact that small states get the same number of senators as large states, and most smaller states are Red, but that's just a consequence of our founders' compromise on the subject, and I'm fine with that.

It's also exacerbated by the fact that older folks are way more likely to vote than younger folks, and older people are more likely to be Republican. But there's nothing unfair about that, young people just need to vote more.

In other words, through a combination of many factors, both fair and unfair, Republicans have way more representation than they actually have in reality. They should be thrilled they have the House and the Senate in a country where there is a 48-39 edge of Democrats to Republicans among voting-age adults.
