  • Even though it says they’ll only vote uncommitted in the dems primary, they probably will vote elsewhere in the November election too. I kind of get it, these people are losing families and friends, losing their nation. If both candidates are going to let Palestine anyways, you may as well try and hurt the one who isn’t doing it right now. What else have they got to lose in their minds? I can’t feign to imagine the fear and helplessness these people are feeling right now, to live under the rule of people who would watch and fund the burning of your people.

    If you are curious about the math logic side of this like I was, here’s the explanation.

    Multiplying is just like addition.

    3 * 3 = 3 + 3 + 3 = 9

    Simple enough but what if one is negative?

    3 * (-3) = (-3) + (-3) + (-3) = -9

    Also easy, all we changed was the signs of the 3’s being added together. But what do you change if you make both of them negative? The only thing left to change is the operation sign. Thus multiplying two negatives is like subtracting negatives.

    (-3) * (-3) = - (-3) - (-3) - (-3) = 3 + 3 + 3 = 9

    Notice that I placed a negative sign in front of the first (-3). That first one has to be subtracted as well so you can imagine a zero in front of the operation.
