Sorry pal, but you call a slight majority worth only ‘half’ and the opposite worth zero.

You learned your math from a liberal math teacher.

Hint: no, the Democrats don’t have a 5x or 7x advantage in representation.

"You learned your math from a liberal math teacher."

Sigh... I'll try once more.

Counting the press, there are four parts to the federal government. Assigning them equal weight, they are worth 1/4 each. We have a liberal Supreme Court, a liberal President, and a liberal press. 1/4+1/4+1/4 = 3/4.

The remaining fourth is half liberal, the Senate, and half Republican, the House. One half of one fourth equals 1/8. 3/4 + 1/8 = 7/8. Therefore, the federal government is 7/8 liberal. The one eighth in the house can't govern alone.

Real math is non-partisan.
