The Original Commenter (OC) of this post said this:
There could be two groups to talk about and respond to: Christians, and Conservatives. There isn't complete overlap between the two.
You said:
You didn't specify whether you were referring to Christians or Conservatives, so someone corrected you.
Then, you go on to clarify after the fact:
While calling out someone's correction as condescension, and at the same time being condescending yourself:
Then, the fact that Speculator introduced is likely from the 2024 US General Election, but you said that this was knowable before reddit or Lemmy came into existence:
Voter turnout has fluctuated from below 50% to about 2/3rds in 2020.
To know the outcome of the 2024 election before reddit and Lemmy came into existence, you'd have to be a clairvoyant because reddit was created in 2005 while Lemmy was created in 2019.
Very militant response imo which reminds me of reddit more than Lemmy tbh
Ok so either you're a noob at U.S. politics or a bot but you seem to be unaware of the U.S.'s historically terrible voter turnout that has been fluctuating between 40% to 60% since the 1950s at the VERY least
Considering that was an inference problem, and you completely miffed it based on misunderstandings of timeframes, I'm more than sure you're a badly tuned LLM
I just shared two sources that track voter turnout back to the turn of the century and I think 1975. Those sources back up my claim.
What evidence do you have to support your claim?
Besides, this is a straw man. You didn't clarify what you meant originally, and after someone tried to do that for you assuming 1 of 2 possibilities in the discussion, you castigated them. This behavior quite clearly shows that you can't handle criticism and must protect your ego. Why can't we stick to facts instead of imaginations?
And you are deflecting from your poor handling of this situation. You can't handle that someone called you out for being an asshole to someone that was just trying to set the record straight, so you're trying to undermine MY credibility by calling me a bot.
This is literally the most libshit behavior I have seen on Lemmy. Holy fucking god
