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
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.
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
to which you reply
How... does that not demonstrate that the popular vote doesn't matter?
I swear Lemmy has some of the dumbest people on the internet. Do you have the faintest idea what the point of this entire post and thread is? Have you heard of harm reduction? I just can't engage with people this dumb anymore. Good luck figuring it out
I sincerely don't think that getting a slightly narrower margin would make an impact in how these people behave.
Why, am I suspicious?
