    I don’t think I made any claims that this was a fluke. If so, it wasn’t meant to be received as such. I’m merely saying that one election is not enough to go on. “WE NEED TO LOOK AT MORE DATA.” And you seem to have more data, so that’s great. We’re not on opposite sides of an argument there, BTW, just so we’re clear. I’m having a conversation with you. Let’s not get hostile. 👍

      And now that I’ve cited multiple elections, can we put that “we only have one election” thing to bed?

        I thought I already tried to do that but yes, definitely. I still don’t think there’s proof of this being a verifiable concept as shown in this image though.

            No I do not. I don’t think they support genocide either, but they do support a country committing genocide, which is absolutely disgusting too. But I’m perhaps splitting hairs there.

            Do you think they support a country committing genocide because people are voting for them? Or vice versa.

              I make no distinction between the two, and I consider your hair splitting to be an attempt to downplay it.

              I think they support genocide regardless of who voted for them. I think they do so for the sheer love of it. If you support genocide you lose the benefit of the doubt.

                Please don’t. Me admitting to hair splitting is meant to show how much I despise supporting either one. 👍

                I think they support genocide regardless of who voted for them.

                So in that case, we agree “voting for the lesser evil” has nothing to do with it, then. 👍
