    So you just made up a number that felt good to you, but demanded hard sources from me? I think you have done a fine job of expressing the validity of yourself as a source. Thank you.

      Bruh 1.1% is a lot closer to 1.7% than the literally 5% value originally commented above. Sue me for taking the latest available felon numbers and dividing by current US population

        You are having a reading comprehension and retention issue, and you have a lack of understanding for how statistics work.

          Funny, I was thinking the same thing about you

          The really entertaining thing is that this is all over an aside in my OC because you didn’t like the word I chose to comparatively represent the size of the felony population in a post about how awful it is to take people’s right to vote away.

          Talk about picking the wrong target. Fuckin yikes.

            I made a cordial correction to your statement, overall agreeing with your sentiment, and you got aggravated.

            You even admitted that you personally made up the statistic you used. Mine have all been directly taken from trusted sources.

            You are projecting.

              You quoted 5-10%, which is wildly inaccurate. It’s not even close. Then proceeded to call me racist when I did some simple math using the latest numbers available to me.

                If you quote me directly, you’ll see where you are wrong. I used accurate statistics taken directly from the linked website.

                You read both my comment and the website, and yet you still don’t see it, but if you’re genuinely interested in seeing the several places where you misunderstood, I’ll stay here with you putting in work to help you.

                Quote what I said and I’m happy to quote you the corresponding part from the linked website.

                  No thanks. This is all a massive waste of time and energy when we both agree that denying people their right to vote is fucked.

                  So instead of bickering over numbers, let’s just end with “fuck anyone who wants to deny people their right to vote, felon or otherwise” mmmkay?
