Statistically, there are more than enough people who voted for Biden and then for Trump 2.

That sentence makes no sense.

Let's put it into math instead:

Let S~1~ be the set of people who voted for Biden. Let S~2~ be the set of people who voted for Trump's second term.

S~1~ ∩ S~2~ ≠ {}

If that's not helpful, let's try code:

s1 = getPeopleWhoVotedForBiden()
s2 = getPeopleWhoVotedForTrumpsSecondTerm()

if (x for x in s1 if x in s2 > 0):
  print("There are more than enough people qualifying for for what I said")

And lastly, to reformulate the sentence:

There are lots of people who in 2020 voted for Biden and in 2024 voted for Trump.

hah, you looked up an intersection symbol, nice. And now I just cant help myself since you gave me that response..

So of 152 million votes cast, you'd like to show a sample size of just 1 person or more proves your hypothesis? seems pretty biased against the null hypothesis.

And your restatement of your hypothesis: "There are lots of people who in 2020 voted for Biden and in 2024 voted for Trump."

You are proving "lots" with > 1? thats just not what "lots" means in english.

And I think we're done here.

You are right, I had trouble defining "lots" or "enough" in math or code :)

:-) all in good fun. I couldnt help myself, sorry.
