    you got the same result as people who voted for Jill Stein and the people who voted for Trump.

    that’s not effective.

    Some memory you have.

        I suppose remembering what you said and knowing what words mean is different. Fascinating.

            A strawman is where you invent a different argument, then defeat it. Rephrasing the exact argument you made in funnier language isn’t a strawman. It’s just what you said, but more plainly. “Voting doesn’t work because I don’t always get what I want.” That’s what you said in literal English.

              it is, and your quibbling belies bad faith

                It’s not. There’s no bad faith. Your argument is simply humorously bad. Have a nice day.
