minus-square@FlexibleToastlink-1•4 months ago Any moment now, the ‘don’t vote for Biden’ group will be in here telling us not to vote for Harris. And if it isn’t Harris, they’ll tell us not to vote for whoever it is.
minus-squareFlying Squidlink3•4 months agoYes. That is what I wrote. What specifically there suggests I was talking about the majority? Do you think ‘group’ means ‘majority?’ Maybe English isn’t your first language.
minus-square@FlexibleToastlink-4•4 months agoThe fact that you even wrote it at all implies they’re a major group. Why bring up the insignificant minority?
minus-squareFlying Squidlink3•edit-24 months agoYou are not psychic. You do not get to tell me what I was implying. Especially when I am telling you otherwise.

Do you just never acknowledge minorities or something?.. Does any group being brought up need to be the majority? What mental gymnastics is this.

You do understand what a straw man argument is, right?
The strawman is acting like they’re the majority.
When did I do such a thing? Please quote me.

Just take the L and move on.
The L? I didn’t realize this was a competition…
