    No, that is literally the “knee-jerk reaction” I had on reading your initial question which I responded to. I saw what looked like someone boiling the election down to a simple vote for or against genocide, or at least making it sound like it was possible to vote genocide away.

    Why else do you think I called you naive for thinking it’s so simple?

    What, then, do you think I was saying, there, in my initial response to you?

      You are describing your process of making a guess. You are leaving out the part where you have been corrected and are now doubling down on the truth of your guess.

      You know, lying.

        You are describing your process of making a guess.

        …yes? I guessed at your intention.

        You are leaving out the part where you have been corrected

        Because that’s not the part of the dialogue I am presently describing. I am explaining my initial assumption, because you are trying to claim it is a new invention.

        are now doubling down on the truth of your guess.

        …no? I’m just explaining what it was. Why do you think I said “what looked like”??
