You formulated it as though you were bringing up something new: "you mean the same X who Y" is for introducing something new into the conversation in relation to X, with X here being Jill Stein. If you had just used David Duke as X and "who lead the KKK" as Y, it wouldn't have been an absurd contribution.
Though it would still be a silly one, since people know who David Duke is, it's not some obscure fact. He's the single most recognizable name in connection with the KKK, perhaps along with the long-dead D.W. Griffith (but probably not).
Didn't formulate it any way, that's you assuming.
Also assuming everyone knows who David Duke is. The general public isn't clued in on KKK facts. I'm sensing a pattern.
That's me reading English. What I was referring to is a set phrase, but it's not a fossilization, it's still just what the words mean if you're actively putting them together. God, this is such an annoying, pointless argument.
