45 and 1 white woman
facepalm thanks, fixed the titled
Edit: I’m still wrong. But this was a shower thought. There’s a reason this community isn’t called “well thought out comments”
Don't correct that. He's wrong. It's way more than 46, most multi-term presidents defeated several different contenders.
Edit: I got 63 white men and 1 white woman, not counting pre 12th amendment elections, not counting minor candidates who didn't win any states electors. There's a lot more if you include minor candidates, but then one of them would be Cynthia McKinney who is a black woman.
Also a lot of people ran in the general election that weren't members of the two major parties.
And I raaaan. I ran so far awaaaay.
I just ran.
I ran all night and daaaay!!!
........I couldn't get away.
I voted for Aunt Jemima in 1978, after I was born at age 6 without a face in 1983.
That's right.
Statistically it probably wasn't 45 men by today's definition.
......I think I know what you're getting at, but if I'm right, that's pretty racist.
what are you talking about? racist? I think they're saying that since ~2% of the population identifies as trans and more are probably eggs, we likely had one trans president before, but they weren't out to the public, or perhaps even themselves.
Bingo.
I read it as him making a reference to black people being legally considered to be 3/5ths of a man back when the united states was founded. So if you go by those definitions, Obama wouldn't have added up to "1".
Which is why I said thats pretty racist.
But he said by today's definition, and today the 3/5ths thing is in the past
