      I thought I was beating up strawmen? Now they exist?

      You do understand what a straw man argument is, right?

            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.

              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.

                The fact that you even wrote it at all implies they’re a major group. Why bring up the insignificant minority?

                  You are not psychic. You do not get to tell me what I was implying. Especially when I am telling you otherwise.

                    Now you’re back peddling. Maybe you should actually say what you mean instead of leaving it up to interpretation.

                  Do you just never acknowledge minorities or something?..

                  Does any group being brought up need to be the majority? What mental gymnastics is this.
