Kamala Harris is known to love Venn diagrams and would be cringing hard at this.

For reference, circles in Venn (Euler) diagrams are sets of objects with a certain property. Select objects are shown inside or outside of each circle depending on whether they belong to the set.
A good example is xkcd 2962:
Hard to imagine political rhetoric more microtargeted at me than 'I love Venn diagrams. I really do, I love Venn diagrams. It's just something about those three circles.'

    I think this is a good explanation of why JO is wrong, which I was not expecting.

    As for JO’s example with sea creatures: if we assume

    • A is a set of dolphins
    • B is a set of sharks
      • their intersection is an empty set: A ∩ B = { } because no dolphins are sharks

    This was my exact thought as I was watching but totally let it pass when he gave his “solution” without another thought before now.

    However I still don’t think the tweet works. Your logic is sound but the diagram would need to label sets A and B with “Words that include…”

    Of course that would just further expose it as unfunny and pointless.

    ETA: I notice you edited the comment while I was replying. Hoping you didn’t change the substance too much - I don’t have time at the moment to figure out what changed and see if my response still applies 😅🤞
