Not surprised

Apples and oranges. Read the original meme again, it’s looking at a holistic input of deaths, economy, and education. Your “chart” is only showing “cases” – although you’re purporting that it’s showing deaths per capita. It’s still not the whole picture, very selective.

It also depends upon how one defines a “blue” state. My definition is statewide races such as governor, senators, and electoral college results from 2020. From your list, Arizona has two D senators and went for Biden in 2020. New Jersey and Michigan both have a D governor, two D senators, and went for Biden in 2020. That’s three out of the top ten in your list, not one. Your “facts” are sketchy at best.

The sad thing about it is that he just got schooled, but will not have any effect on him. The brainwashing is deep on that one.

You know you got 'em when they don't come back with anything and their troll buddies don't come on to defend them or even give an upvote.

But wasn't this silly Blue vs Red State thingy referring to some sort of genetic speciation and ginormous cultural divide?
Not that your reconfiguration of it ain't, like, totally map redrawing worthy stuff,,,

No, it's clear the way I wrote it, at an eighth grade level. If you're having trouble comprehending it then I suggest that you find an eighth grader to explain it to you.

anti's version is much better than your tepid imitation. Is this where you paraphrase my "aisle 3" quip again?

Go eat some cottage cheese.

I clearly gave my definition of what a red or blue state is and it is easily verifiable. Your best buddy Anti has yet to define his argument.

Not to take away from the sheer amazingness of what is your way fab redefining of this silly faux tribalism's map because the biggest city in their state elected a Dem, but like the rest of what you say, it remains quite irrelevant.

"deaths per capita"
"*Cases*"
hmmm

... That's how you measure how good a job you're doing. Deaths per capita. If you're in a group of 100 friends, more of you will die in a state at the top of the list than in a state at the bottom of the list.

your lists show cases, not deaths. show the deaths, THEN come back with this argument.

LOOK AT THE NUMBERS

They are out of order

The reason they are out of order is because I ranked them by deaths per capita!!! Not by cases!!

You didn't include the numbers and don't know how to take a good screen shot.

exactly

I still don't trust your numbers. It still specifically says "cases", not "deaths". There could be a third variable that you're sorting by, which isn't shown because it doesn't fir your narrative. please show the ENTIRE screenshot, exact death numbers included.

You see why I cropped it now?

I had a vague assumption that you would have some knowledge of how spreadsheets work and the fact that computers can sort them by columns that aren't necessarily the immediate next column to the right these days. Maybe I was wrong to assume that. I mean, y'all are computer literate enough to put your imgflip passwords without hurting yourselves, right? Or is that something you get your grandkids to do for you?

there's an easy way to crop this image to a size between this mess and the tiny data you showed. show that please.

Get it yourself. It's public data.

oh, so the moment I make a request that forces you to show the data I request in a readable form you refuse to show it? That feels a little... suspect

It's public data. Deaths per capita of each state is not a list of numbers that only I have.

actually, let me restate that- Show me *all* of the REALAVENT data in a readable form. that's what we're all looking for

You got the info you requested, look at it.

The res, tho

It's a publicly published table, let them do the work of exporting to HD themselves. It makes all the points I need it to the way I showed it; they just don't want to deal with it.

You got a bunch of the fandom making garbled noise above, yet the reply to the larger chart and explanation? crickets.

You know about the original res option though? I used to not for the longest, hate to admit!

You know what? fine. I looked at your deaths. did you know that Arizona had some of the highest deaths on the list, with around 19,000 deaths?? Quoting from Abby here, "From your list, Arizona has two D senators and went for Biden in 2020.". Arizona is 2nd. I was right- The death numbers really didn't fit your narrative entirely.

Ok. Now look at the OP again where Arizona was rated a B+ despite having second highest deaths per capita in the nation.

Where's your pestering to the person pushing THAT narrative?

Okay, it wasn't my original point, just what I was thinking but didn't say aloud. I'll admit it, you got me there.

Alright, lets say OP is wrong in that Arizona should be worse off then B. You *do* realize that helps my original argument, right? I was conceding my argument to you. why did you keep going?

I'll take it. Thanks for playing.

You can go ahead and read what was and wasn't your original point in your own time - the thread history is up for everyone to read.

now there's a conflict. Either your data is wrong, or my data is wrong. Something isn't adding up. I think this is the end of the argument as I have run out of reliable information to pull from, and I think we both exhausted your chart for all it's worth.

What?! You and I both have the exact same number for Arizona, it's the OP that's disagreeing with you!!!

Argue with the OP, that's what your data is telling you.

Everything's adding up fine, you're just trying to make excuses for yourself.

once again, Arizona state seems to have one of the highest deaths, while it's rated B on the graph. There's a disconnect now and one of our two sources is wrong. I cannot tell you which, so I want to leave the argument at that.

... The OP is wrong. That's what I've been trying to tell you from the start. You and I both agree that Arizona has the second worst outcome for the pandemic, so you and I both have evidence that Arizona should not have a B grade.

The OP is wrong. That's what I'm trying to tell you.
