This is more commonly known as the median voter theorem.

Wait... If you add all the numbers together, don't you get 0? Since for every number you're also adding the negative.
Huh that would make him the most truthful politician... What a paradox
You're probably gonna hate this, but I think it actually matters how you add them up. Cuz think if you add 0 + 1 + 2 - 1 + 3 - 2 + 4... that pattern will always be positive. (And this is assuming we're only using integers)
And this is why I don't ask the mathematicians in my life to sum up infinite lists of integers anymore. Smh
Technically (not really) sum of all positive integers results in -1/12, which is due to the nature of infinite series and MATH I no longer understand. So it stands to reason, that if you add a -1 multiplier and sum results of both series together, you would get 0! Approximately.
But 0! is 1.
