duverger’s “law” has no predictive value. it’s a tautology as empty as “supply and demand”.
“bar of acceptability” isn’t a functionally meaningful concept.
it is in ethics
Equivocating the two means you think ‘some genocide’ and ‘lots of genocide’ are equally acceptable.
no. i don’t find either of those acceptable. that doesn’t make them the same. it just means that neither of them meets the bar of acceptability.
Any other vote is an admission of equivocation of the two front-runners.
false dichotomy
voting against genocide doesn’t help genocide. this is pure doublespeak.
I don’t believe any vote will reduce genocide. ballots don’t stop bullets.
I’m going to vote for a candidate that wants no genocide.
it’s literally double speak: war is peace, voting for genocide is antigenocide.
this is just bad faith engagement, and you can see them doing this and other trolling techniques in their comment history
I don’t believe flyingsquid has an appropriate temperament to moderate a current events community
do you think they would be more willing than you to stop engaging dishonestly?
why are you replying multiple times to the same comment instead of just consolidating your response into one?
i don’t like to have multiple ideas in one comment, and i have found it’s an excellent tactic for breaking up a gish gallop. you can read more here:
Did you do that?
Did you tell them as well that, “it takes two to tango”?
Curiously you did not.
i asked you to be the bigger person.
kindly explain your thought-process when you respond with simply re-quoting what I said
i was pointing out the hypocrisy
, I’m not really sure what the point is that you’re making.
i’m saying don’t use dishonest rhetoric
another appeal to ridicule? can’t you just accept that it takes two to tango, and you are actively making this place worse?
these, “Got it. You just don’t x.” responses are tiresome
hahahah what the hell are you saying? You think PEW is flawed? Do tell how. Do you even understand how statistics work? I bet you didn’t even look at their methodology let alone MoE.
appeal to ridicule
this isn’t a quote. it’s just libel.
