That's a reasonable thing to think but utterly separate from "excess"

Talk to me again when you're willing to just acknowledge normal word meanings. Until then, consider that if your point depends on making up your own private meanings, perhaps your point is weak.

Lol maybe the problem is you haven't even read the article you shared. It says more people switched D to R and that Ds suffered more from people declining to vote.

I mean they're obv shitposting so whether you want to believe them is 🤷‍♂️ but it is a person literally saying they do what I say people do

perhaps because those "in charge" have ascended by participating in censorial behavior, on a smaller scale, for a generation now. We let it grow, and now it's here.

Again I think there's a lot of truth to what you say. The dilemma is that in terms of "a lot of people harmed by ICE", there are a lot more because Trump took over

Factually there were six names on the ballot you could mark. Factually the child had 6 dozen pictures they could mark. Stein or Oliver or Happy Acres or Sunny Tails are not, in any factual sense, options.

We were talking about so-called terrorists. The fact that trans folks could, until 47, serve in uniform while out, served at the time as a direct repudiation of the idea that trans folks are a threat to Americans. Then you wanted to talk about vet healthcare. Which is important! ...but a new topic.

I don't really care about the math, but you used your bad math to justify a general claim about the role Ds play in the loss of rights trans people are experiencing. That claim is as false as the math used to support it. [sorry for the double post]

Do you not remember when you tried to claim I said this thing, then could not show anywhere I said it?

Again that's an interesting comparison. But while you may have had it in your mind, you certainly didn't write it. The parallelism of crediting X for endorsing Y, where (X,Y) is (voter,Harris) in my post and (X,Y) is (Hindenburg,Hitler) is clearly there in your post.

The article does exactly the sort of handwaving needed to maintain a stance of moral equivocation. As you and I seem to agree, the D party has deep flaws. But perhaps we can also agree how to read this graph? tracreports.org/immigration/...

You can be all upsetty spaghetti about it, but you drew a parallel between crediting voters for endorsing Harris and Hindenburg for endorsing Hitler.

You are right. But it is how analogies work

I could elaborate on how analogies work, if you really want, yes.

One million rials is how many actual pieces of paper? Oh, turns out it's... just one.
banknotes of the Iranian rial: the currency is commonly exchanged in notes valued at 100k, 500k, 1M, 2M, 5M, and 10M

Amazing how that "t" at the end obviates any debate over the correct pronunciation of "gift"

it feels like you're intentionally misreading, when the intent is clear. I am referring to the distinction you yourself originated. how is that not obvious

As a kid riding with my dad, when we passed a logging truck he would call them murderers. Only later did I realize our house was made of wood.

But that kind of thing is only possible for a country with a big unoccupied desert in its interior, surely! 👀

I too had a teenage Rand phase, but interestingly the spell was broken when I read an old review. Whittaker Chambers, 1957:

It's an interesting survey, but these results did give me pause. Aren't these the same scenarios? Do nothing, 5 die; or do something, 1 dies who otherwise wouldn't've but the original 5 imperiled people survive.

@debbartlette.bsky.social I am afraid you are mistaken, nothing in the article addresses my question. Feel free to let me know what passage I am overlooking. (Hope it isn't this one)

Unfortunately, the DSM sort of requires suffering or dysfunction (or however you want to think of it).

Just to be quite clear, the margin of error for this specific crosstab isn't even 2.7. Read the results before you write an "article" about it in which you misinterpret your own graph.

Friend, why did you write a whole ass article about it and not read it

ventifact.bsky.social @ventifact.bsky.social · 21/09/2025
Your question was not initially about specific political stances. I answered it using a very standard definition of a term you demanded a definition for. Now you insist it's about specific political stances. So maybe you can see why I might wonder, umm, what you're really trying to get at.

Do you consider your initial question answered? (see pic)
