I mean, fuck these idiots but that's a dumb take. It could very well be true that someone is cheated out of the presidency while everyone knows them to be the people's favorite with the most votes, but knowing that doesn't mean they actually became the president, which is the requirement for them to not be able to run again.
If he won then he's the president. That's how elections work. And it's not about winning the popular vote. Why don't you know that?
Mate if you don't know that there's a difference between him winning and someone stating "everyone knows he won" then I would be careful questioning what people know.
What would be the point of saying "everyone knows he won" when he'd actually became the president? It makes no sense. You should learn to read between the lines, which says "he had more votes so he should've been the president". And before you go off again about the popular vote you should realize that what I know about how elections function has no effect on the lack of logic from the guy owning the truck.
You're so eager to make the other side look bad, which they do a pretty good job of by themselves, that you're no longer critical of what you're saying.
You came so close to figuring out that a person who does something like this to their truck is an idiot, but then you continued on...
You mean the point I started with 2 comments ago?
Try to keep up buddy.
Yes, you called them idiots and then didn't realize that the idiotic thing an idiot put on his truck was idiotic. I can't help that.
No what I said is that them being idiots doesn't excuse you being an idiot as well.
If public enemy number 1 in a banana republic gets 98% of the votes and people state the people's favorite actually won (implying voter fraud), you're saying the people's favorite can't run again because people stated he won?
That is your logic right there. And you don't evaluate your stupidity because Trump is an incredibly easy target so nothing you say should be scrutinized. I think that's stupid and detrimental and you should hold yourself to a better standard instead of simply throwing out silly statements aimed at easy targets.
No, I'm saying that, based on their claim that he won, he can't run again.
You seem to think I believe he won. He didn't. Therefore he can run again.
But I suppose realizing that would make it harder for you to insult me.
We're back to square one, I argued what was wrong with your logic in that statement when you first posted it and you came back with an insult and no attempt to clarify, and now you simply repeat it. Don't come crying now.
That is a lie. I never insulted you once. Why are you lying?
