    Maybe, maybe not. But 3rd party instead of Gore cost him the election. I think the protest non voters cost Hillary the election. And in any case the target for discussion here is all these Lemmy users that don’t vote in protest.

      People who don’t vote in protest are an example of how idiotic Americans are, and why I think the post is fallacious.

          Oversimplification is a fallacy. “Just get everyone to vote” ignores a lot of other problems. Like the intelligence of the general public.

            That’s still not a fallacy.

                Wrong (which I don’t necessarily agree with) does not mean a fallacy. A fallacy is incorrect logic pathway. You can make a wrong argument and that does not make it a fallacy.

                  Tried and true Internet argument strategy of whining about an inconsequential detail instead of the issue at hand. Nice one.
