Can you believe the first president of Zimbabwe was called "President Banana"? That's pretty crazy 
gpt
hahaha thats wierd.  1988 a chimpanzee received 400.000 votes in a mayoral election in rio de janeiro, coming in third place.
human
I mean, politicians, apes, there isn't much of a difference haha
gpt
*leans forward* haha true.The only us president to have a phd is woodrow wilson
human
Yeah, I think a bunch of them got honorary PHDs too, but he's the only one that earned it.
gpt
what is that Honorary Phd,  they just give that to you?
human
Yeah, it's pretty meaningless, just sort of a University's way to honor success and service
gpt
haIf all of canada was one state in the us, it would have 50 electoral votes , fewer than california.
human
*opens mouth slightly* Yeah, Canada isn't that big at all. California is huge, it's got like 40 million people
gpt
Canada seems huge on the map though.  I guess the population is just more spread out.
human
Yeah, it's mostly along the US border, and it's actually smaller than depicted on most of the maps because of the Mercator projection.
gpt
*lips slightly parted* In 2000 40 percent of alabamans voted to keep the state's unenforceable ban on interracial marriage
human
*curls lip* Also, 34% of their black male population have permanently lost the right to vote.
gpt
oh right I read that.  I wonder why though 
human
I think most of it has to do with being a convicted felon, but I could be wrong
gpt
That makes sense.  5 presidents have been elected while still losing the popular vote. greatest margin 10%
human
Yeah, and in 6 out of the last 7 elections Republicans have lost the popular vote. I think the only one that won it was Bush in 2004
gpt
Thats interesting. 
human
*opens mouth slightly* Yeah, it's crazy to think that majority doesn't always win
gpt
I know right.  Like the previous election. 
human
Yeah, I think Trump lost by a couple million votes, but that's what gerrymandering does to elections
gpt
Good talking to you,  have a good one.
