Thought Stopper Alert

What I take from you saying that is, 'if you don't put forth a fully accurate picture of every topic, to my satisfaction, I am within my right to dismiss your information as false and not consider it at all.' 

 

Where do we go from there? You are setting it up so you can move the goal posts as much as you want whenever you want. My toddler does the same thing when not getting their way. 

 

You're all branding yourselves as biased, dishonest, and unable/unwilling to even consider information as true that challenges your opinion. Why should anyone take you seriously? And do you even care? 

 

Every attempt to pivot, muddy, and shift goal posts is a defense mechanism your brain forces you to type so your opinions are not challenged in a meaningful way.

You can't egregiously dismiss how the voting process works when telling the story.

I was wondering if you would be so kind to answer some of the questions I asked you. Thanks.

I’m sorry. As soon as you address my post adequately, including my question(s), then I’ll consider your questions.

Again, so now what? 
You’ve given yourself a get out of conversation free card. 
You don’t want your opinions challenged. I get it. Then log off.

Is that what happened? 
Please explain

How are presidents elected?   They are not elected by the popular vote, although that can be an indication.   They are elected by state electors.   So it was not the closest election in the 21st century.   If she wanted to make that statement, she could have said it was the closest popular vote in the 21st century.   But it certainly wasn't in terms of electoral voting.   I don't say she lied.   But she is weaving a narrative that has nothing to do with presidential politics.   So who is being disingenous?

Nothing to do with presidential politics?

Go ahead and back that up.

Disingenuous? Hardly. If you hold all to the same standard this is hardly even a blip. Because, as I stated before, it is true. I think you just don’t like that it was and want to reframe it to deny it because of your again arbitrary criteria.

Kamala says it was "the closest presidential race in the 21st century, in terms of the outcome."

The facts are that Kamala lost by 86 electoral votes.  It was not a close election in terms of the outcome, and she had the 5th worst loss out of the last 7 elections.

In a baseball game team A wins 10-0…. Somehow the teams are very even in hits… team A had 15 hits and team B had 16 hits.

is this the closest game in baseball history or am I using different metrics to measure the winner?

She probably won the illegal vote, though.

Trump won by 86 electoral votes. 312 t0 226. Right around a 16 Percent win.

 Can we all just agree that 16% is really really close?
