Hillary Clinton's campaign just released the worst Venn diagram of all time

Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign just committed what can only be described as a data catastrophe.

The campaign, in promoting its gun policy agenda, sent out this tweet:

The general point is true: The great majority of Americans do support universal background checks, including the great majority of gun owners.

But this is simply not how Venn diagrams work. The circles are completely wrong. They should, for one, overlap entirely, since the gun owners referenced in this are all Americans. And the circle for Americans should be much, much bigger than the circle for gun owners, since gun owners make up just one segment of the US population. (That is, unless, the Clinton campaign is literally saying that a lot of gun owners are un-American, which is a very, very hot take for a risk-averse campaign.)

1. That is really bizarre. Who thought that up?

Brock is not very bright, so he's probably behind it.

18. Some intern

with barely passable PowerPoint skills, who washed out well before elementary logic.

And about as motivated as you'd expect a Clinton volunteer to be, which is to say, minimally.

2. Levels of consciousness do show themselves. Face plant.

25. reminds me of this

[truedelphi]

3. Well I doubt that Brock did all that well in math. And his association with Ann Coulter probably

Did not improve his math or logic skills,.

But in comparison with the money spent by Brock to have staffers install child porn on Sanders' supporters' Facebook pages, the diagram is just amusingly wrong

I mean, the diagram certainly is not a felony, as installing child porn on an internet website happens to be!

12. Hey, does Brock still employ armed bodyguards? In D.C.?

[spinbaby]

4. That's what you get with unpaid interns. n/t

[HooptieWagon]

5. She probably borrowed a couple Brock trolls to draw that up.

We've already observed they're not exactly the best and the brightest.

6. And they prance around, talking down to us like they're a bunch of math wizards....

Dunning-Kruger is in effect.

[Fairgo]

9. Dunning-Kruger has been on my mind alot recently

Lots of very confident sock puppets pontificating from a school of ignorance, poorly.

[Hoyt]

7. I get what they are saying. Hope Sanders gets his support of gun manufacturers doesn't help.

I think the campaign is trying to explain to people -- who don't understand math, like in delegate counts -- that both Trump and Sanders should rethink their position on gunz (admittedly, Sanders is not as bad as Trump).

8. Reminds me of a Fox News graph n/t

10. Hey - I mentioned you in another post

Sorry, I should have asked you first, but it was nothing bad.

13. Wow. This is Daliesque in its surreal distortion. Beats what is usually dumped in the Gungeon.

14. LOL

[AgerolanAmerican]

15. That will earn a place in the Museum of Bad Venn Diagrams

kinda surprised she didn't use this one though:

19. Hee hee!

Old employer of mine! (By way of mergers, FWIW.)

20. oh hai look what I found

Golly gee I can do this all day

[AgerolanAmerican]

21. moar

[Octafish]

16. Math!

And stuff.

17. The NRA's shilling for Bernie is a rating of D-

when to hear certain groups talk, it would be at least a B. D- tends to shut them up. Pass it on.

22. Let's see YOU draw up a Venn diagram under sniper fire!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

29. LOL!

[Nye Bevan]

23. Bad math appears to be growing exponentially (nt)

[hootinholler]

24. And this is from the people who have been telling us to

DO THE MATH!???

[scscholar]

26. Why the constant spew of Hillary hate pieces published here?

It's not a Venn diagram. Don't claim it is then claim it is wrong. That's a strawman argument.

[BillZBubb]

27. I think a certain scholar needs to go back to school.

It is drawn like a Venn diagram, so most people seeing it would try to figure it out based on that. It's a stupid attempt to get a message out.

Telling the truth about Hillary isn't hate.

28. Why the constant spew of Bernie hate pieces published here?

30. Never seen one

Got any proof, or will asking make you mad enough to throw a chair?

33. More Hill-logic, but who cares, this campaign apealls to emotion, not rationality, logic, or truth
