minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·edit-21年前I thought I was beating up strawmen? Now they exist? You do understand what a straw man argument is, right?
minus-squareFlexibleToast@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1年前The strawman is acting like they’re the majority.
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1年前When did I do such a thing? Please quote me.
minus-squareFlexibleToast@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1年前 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 Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1年前Yes. 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-squareFlexibleToast@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1年前The fact that you even wrote it at all implies they’re a major group. Why bring up the insignificant minority?
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-21年前You are not psychic. You do not get to tell me what I was implying. Especially when I am telling you otherwise.
minus-squareFlexibleToast@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1年前Now you’re back peddling. Maybe you should actually say what you mean instead of leaving it up to interpretation.
minus-squarepapertowelslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21年前 The fact that you even wrote it at all implies they’re a major group. Why bring up the insignificant minority? Do you just never acknowledge minorities or something?.. Does any group being brought up need to be the majority? What mental gymnastics is this.

Maybe you should have asked.
Do you just never acknowledge minorities or something?..

Just take the L and move on.
