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.
