    Please apply a modicum of common sense.

    I said “voted for”, but wait he can’t vote, my entire point is null and void! Unless of course you engage your higher brain functions and think “hmmm, we’re in the leopards ate my face lemmy, he probably means “supports”, since that makes sense with 0 additional thought, but I better argue semantics so the point is entirely lost”.

      Please increase the amount of precision you use when communicating in text on line with people who may not speak the language natively that you are responding publicly to.

      Do you want people to “have modicum of common sense” but don’t want to exercise any modicum of responsibility.

      It’s fine if you just accept when someone points out your flaws like any good writer would do when an editor points out some really really really really basic edits.

      I may be wrong, but it seems like you are throwing a temper tantrum because someone dared to correct a error you made.

      Just fix it, thank them for helping you fix your argument, and move on feeling better about the effort you made.

        Correct me all day long, you’re right I should be more specific and prefer to do so.

        But don’t pretend my entire point is invalid because an unrelated point is inaccurate in a way that isn’t pertinent at all. It’s lazy internet trollery and it deserves to be called out when committed, as I did and will continue to do.

        And we don’t have to assume that’s what they were doing, they straight up said it at some point here.

      Exactly, your point is null and void because he couldn’t have voted for Trump.

        The very first part says “trump supporter”. Did you miss that or do you come from the “any error you make, no matter how unrelated, renders me the victor!” style of comedy internet arguing?

          The second part says “voted for” which is a factual error - he couldn’t have voted since he doesn’t have citizenship.
