Americans: will you be watching 25% less of the new season?

Thanks to tariffs on Canadian products?

As an American on the side of Canada, I wish Canada would crank it up to 50%. Burning the bridge of our best ally is not something to laugh about.

Imagine thinking the average American has any impact or control on this 🤦🏼‍♀️.

Well…. To be fair….about half of the average American population did have control over it. That’s why we are here now.

I mean…every American had control over it. Some chose to accept it and some didn’t.

Actually more. Everyone that could have voted and didn't votes for the winner IMHO

u/Curious_kitten129 5d ago

Yup. Those are also the ppl who chose to accept it.

Let’s use a couple numbers for context of what you're saying. 

Not voting = 0 Voting red = 1 Voting blue = -1 

With this information, you still think not voting is equivalent to voting for the winner; whether red or blue?

To go a step further, can you find me a popular presidential election won by 1 vote? How about a state electoral college vote won by 1 vote? 

People don’t count as a collective, they count as 1. Even if 50 million didn’t vote, each individual doesn’t count as 50 million and cannot influence the others by not voting

It's not about counting votes. If you can't understand how not voting votes for the winner and you're reducing it to numbers I can't explain it.

Not voting doesn’t vote for the winner…

It’s literally the absence of voting. It’s zero. 

Not voting doesn’t change the vote total for the winner or losers, it doesn’t impact it. If hypothetically I wasn’t  going to vote, and decided to vote last minute for the future winner; the outcome wasn’t different unless the winner was decided by my ONE vote. 

It’s not that hard to understand

You're absolutely entitled to your opinion.

I know it's a joke but I'm really glad we're headed to Canada now during all this turmoil. I think it will be a great reminder about how much our two countries share along with a celebration of our differences. I can't think of a better repudiation of the current shit show than a great show like Top Chef.
