So you don’t like Trump or Harris – here’s why it’s still best to vote for one of them - eviltoast
If you’re an unhappy voter and want other unhappy voters to hold their noses and vote for the major candidate they least dislike, think about the Golden Rule.

It has been said a gazillion times over the last few months, but is it getting through to those who need to hear it?

    B) repeated your “1 = 3 = magical math” argument,

    before backing down,

    No, no, no.

    Oh, sorry, I thought you had backed down from this:

    I took the total percent of voters who disapprove of Trump (52.5%) and subtracted the percent of those voters who are Democrats (49%). The remaining 3.5% is therefore the percentage of voters who disapprove of Trump who are not Democrats.

    I then showed that there are a full 8.5% of voters who are Republicans that dissaprove of Trump

    I mean initially you stood by it, then you said the data was approximate then you found another survey where the numbers were closer (4% rather than 8.5%, but still with a magical 7 non-democrats being 8 republicans), then I thought you accepted that you couldn’t do arithmetic with data from different polls, but here you are recanting your admission?

    I have asked you a very specific question which you have refused to answer.

    I have addressed (B) multiple times and until you answer my question about the exact percentage range that you would accept as proof, i will consider your argument defeated.

    Lol. “Give me a precise percentage to use in my meaningless poll arithmetic or you’re definitely wrong.” isn’t as convincing as you think it is. I shall not participate in your illogical nonsense.
