      Nah. You said voting doesn’t work because I got the same outcome as everyone else. That’s stupid. Voting works fine when enough people do it and do it intelligently. Americans simply didn’t in 2024. “Eggs expensive! Let’s try fascism!”

        It shouldn’t be, but it’s still amazing to me that Libs have to keep creating arguments out of thin air, and putting words into other people’s mouths. Of course, if they could stick to the facts and the discussion at hand, they woulnd’t be libs.

          you got the same result as people who voted for Jill Stein and the people who voted for Trump.

          that’s not effective.

          Some memory you have.

                  A strawman is where you invent a different argument, then defeat it. Rephrasing the exact argument you made in funnier language isn’t a strawman. It’s just what you said, but more plainly. “Voting doesn’t work because I don’t always get what I want.” That’s what you said in literal English.

                    it is, and your quibbling belies bad faith
