  • England said she believes the measure would have fared differently if it was on a ballot with higher voter turnout, like the November general election.

    I mean, ya, sure, but… WTF people?

Therefore, your “question” wasn’t asked in good faith and was instead merely a rhetorical tool used to “present false or distorted claims by framing them as questions.”

    Yes, this tactic is often used by conspiracy theorists, but they don’t have a monopoly on it, as you so clearly demonstrated.
