    If you’re trying to rationalize not voting as it not mattering just stop, you fucked up but it’s ok, don’t let the cognitive dissonance help them

    I watched Bush get elected while losing the popular vote and he invaded two countries. You are welcome to think that Trump losing the popular vote would be meaningful, I don’t think it matters.

    If you’re trying to sway me with this, just stop you fucked up, but it’s ok.

      Did I say Dems are good and bad things wouldn’t happen under them? Do you just not understand the concept of degrees of effect? What a disingenuous thing to bring up

      If you’re trying to sway me with this, just stop you fucked up, but it’s ok.

      What even are you trying to say? You’re indecipherable from satire

        Bush was a republican, I was providing an example of how little ‘winning’ the popular vote matters at all.

        What even are you trying to say? You’re indecipherable from satire

        I was mocking your feigned concern, I did it by quoting back what you just said to me: “just stop you fucked up, but it’s ok.”

          No you weren’t. Again, do you just not understand the concept of degrees of effect? That’s the entire point that you’re ignoring.

          And I’m very concerned about you. It is not feigned

            I sincerely don’t think that getting a slightly narrower margin would make an impact in how these people behave.

            And I’m very concerned about you. It is not feigned

            Why, am I suspicious?
