minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish10•edit-21 year agoYeah, about 1% of the voting body. The point that conservatives don’t vote for a third party stands with a margin of error within 1%. Contrast that to the 8 other independent or left leaning third parties on the ballot in 2020. You’re trying to shut down my original point with a counter point that is both moot and also trying really hard to be made on a technicality.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•1 year agowhat I said is factual, and you are trying to massage the facts to fit a story that isn’t true.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish8•1 year agoWhat you said is technically correct, while ignoring the context. Being technically correct about something that doesn’t change the overall picture and hailing it as the end of an argument is petty and dishonest.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoI didn’t want any argument at all. what I said from the beginning was true and nothing you’ve said changes that.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish8•edit-21 year agoCongratulations. You’ve proven me wrong that an inconsequential, literally marginal number of conservatives vote 3rd party. That in itself doesn’t change my original point. Here’s your award for being technically correct 🎖️
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•1 year agoif you hadn’t stated a mistruth, I couldn’t have corrected you.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish8•edit-21 year agoGee thanks officer. I stated something that was correct to within 99% of my claim and cited a source. Good thing you were there to correct the remaining 1% for the poor readers out there who might have mistaken that error as significant
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish9•1 year agoMy advice is to leave the crazy person alone.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•1 year agoYeah, I should have let it go about 3 comments back. I guess there’s no better time than the present
