taking simply mathematical principals, two positives make a positive, two negatives makes a positive, so a negative combined with a positive leaves a negative.
so a question like, "can't you fix that computer?" requires the response, "Yes I can't" if indeed, you cannot do so, but "no, I can" if you are able to.
simple really

Used as an exclamation when noting an obvious or moronic error in judgment. Usually suggesting complete unworkability. Also used to designate a situation one tries to take advantage of, where there is no actual advantage to be had.

"Can't stenchon the mélenchon" is an expression used by the candidate to the 2017 french presidential election, Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
It could has been created on the Jeuxvidéo.com's forum by users to show their preference for Mélenchon rather than Marine Lepen (far right). It has been inspired by the sentence "can't stump the trump" even if Mélenchon doesn't share the Trump's point of view.
This catchphrase quickly spread on the internet. Now, it became a slogan for the Mélenchon's party : La France insoumise.
