Oh fucking christ, a flat-earther. You people are even worse than the fucking round-earther scum on this platform.
I swear you people will never accept a velociraptor-shaped earth, prolly cuz your brains just aren’t big enough to process the geometry.
Edit: I really hoped the /s would not be necessary…
Squirrel with a Gun is a game where you play as a squirrel with a gun.
There, now ya know! :)
If I understand margin of error correctly, then what this means is that the “true” lead that harris had over trump at the time of this poll has a 95% chance of being somewhere between +(5+4.5) and +(5-4.5).
So according to just this poll, there’s a 95% that Harris’ lead in Minnesota is between 9.5% and 0.5%, so somewhere between “what the polling was nearly already saying” and “almost neck and neck”.
And that’s not even taking any of the other polling into consideration…
TL;DR yeah, this poll isn’t very useful.
I get it but come now, the color red did nothing wrong.
It’s also ironically the color of liberalism in most other countries, worth pointing out given Lemmy is an international community. So that could sound confusingly aggressive to international readers.
Thanks, yeah I guess the trick is to politely ask normal, reasonable questions that a good-faith party would answer honestly. Who’d have thunk it xD
Tbh if the guy/troll/whatever had answered the first two questions earlier on, depending on the answers I prolly would’ve just backed off, “oh well, agree to disagree” style.
Him being weirdly “I don’t have to answer that..but I have to tell you that I won’t answer” was funny so I went with it.
Okay, but if/when you see this, I still have 3 questions:
Have you researched Agenda 47, and if so, what are your thoughts on it?
Why do you support the Green Party candidate as your far-and-away favorite pick while not seeming to care about a Trump presidency, given his environmental policy?
Why do you reply to people who disagree with you if you’re allegedly not trying to sway them and are allegedly only here to share articles?
…
I’m [not] Kamala Harris and I approve this message
We’re cool.
I do have 3 lingering questions though:
Have you researched Agenda 47, and if so, what are your thoughts on it?
Why do you support the Green Party Candidate as your far-and-away favorite pick while not seeming to care about Trump’s environmental policy?
Why do you reply to people who disagree with you if you’re allegedly not trying to sway them and are allegedly only here to share articles?
Okay but, like, why those questions and not the others?
Yeah, I think that’s a very reasonable assessment.
I like to come to conversations in a good-faith manner anyway, cuz I mean, you never know for sure.
But of course, there’s a limit to that, especially when they stop answering your questions, and later straight up say “you will never change my mind about XYZ” like that’s a good-faith thing to say.
Yeah but, you’re under no obligation to reply saying you’re not gonna answer my questions either.
Just seems like a lotta work for a person to reply to a buncha comments disagreeing with them, just to say “yeah well you’re not gonna change my mind”.
Your response?
You could simply stop asking.
But you could simply stop replying though
Wow, sounds like maybe you are implying that you were baiting me. Were you?
I was always planning on having a good faith conversation with you until you said “I cannot be swayed” while replying to people who disagree with you with defenses. And then not answering my question of “Then why do you do that?”.
That’s a bad-faith thing to do.
I am under no obligation to answer anything. Because when you first replied, you seemed friendly and reasonable. Now you seem biased and seem like you are trying to bait me. Which won't happen. Because I'm still not gonna vote for your candidate.
So you replied to me because I seemed friendly and reasonable, but I was still on the side of “I think what you’re doing is not good for either of us”, so you were trying to engage with me and move my needle a little towards your side of the argument?
In other words, you try to…sway me? B/c fyi, there’s nothing wrong with that. You make swaying out to be this bad thing that bullies do, but it’s not. Moving needles doesn’t mean bullying people into feeling a certain way, it means coming closer to understanding one another, and I take joy in doing that.
I don’t take quite as much joy in a person who doesn’t come to a table on a good-faith basis.
And since most of the readers here are already overwhelmingly pro-Harris, you haven't changed anyone's mind. There is no "gotcha" moment. And I'm not gonna vote for Harris. Understand?
That’s my secret, dude, I’m not looking for a “gotcha”. I was just looking to understand you a little better. Maybe you’d poke some holes in my preconceptions, maybe I’d poke some holes in yours.
With that said, I’ll ask again:
Have you researched Agenda 47, and if so, what are your thoughts on it?
Why do you support the Green Party Candidate as your far-and-away favorite pick while not seeming to care about Trump’s environmental policy?
Why do you reply to people who disagree with you if you’re allegedly not trying to sway them and are allegedly only here to share articles?
Why do you keep avoiding the above 3 questions?
Dude, I suggested the earth was shaped like a velociraptor.
No, I didn’t miss the joke
Edit: Did YOU miss MY incredibly obvious joke? xD
