    Why the fuck are you doing this? The delegation did not ghost him, part of the delegation ghosted, but people, most of the people, came and therefore saying the delegation as a whole ghosted him is a fucking lie. I hate the shitlibs who pulled those stunts and think it’s an awful stain on the DSA that the splinter faced no repercussions, but there’s no reason to use hyperbole to turn it into something that is literally a fucking lie.

    Do you see the style of inference you used in the sicko child example? In order to say that he sometimes abuses his cat, it is sufficient for making that claim that he does sometimes abuse the cat, however infrequently. It is necessary to make the opposite claim, that he doesn’t abuse the cat, for him to never abuse the cat. You are here making a construction that demonstrates your own lie, because it would be necessary for making the claim that the delegation ghosted the president that none of them showed up in their official capacity, but in fact most of them did, which is and therefore saying that the delegation as a whole ghosted them (which is unquestionably what you’re saying when you say “the delegation” and not "some of the delegation) is a fucking lie.
