    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.

      “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.

      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
