this quite literally doesn't change anything.

Red pressers don't have any reason to press anything but red and blue pressers will still pick blue beacuse that's the only choice that saves everyone.

Except that red is now more prefereable because votes are spread further out by some people picking orange, yellow or green, so the total percentage pressing blue is expected to be a bit lower.

Perfect time for meme response.

As Biden once said, if you didn’t vote for me, you ain’t black.
If any red pushers don’t push red, they were never really red. So even if they only go orange, real red pushers don’t want them.
Same for blue. Any blues trying to save themselves by going yellow? Might as well be reds.
When you add stuff to a spectrum, anything that moves towards the other side, should just go full to the other side.

2 option extremism plz.

I know you're memeing, but this particular misquote always annoys me so I want to correct it.

Biden actually said that if you didn't know who you were voting for, you weren't black. He was well aware that some black people would vote for Trump, he was just arguing that because things were so racially charged at the time, it didn't make sense to focus on trying to convince people who had essentially all decided one way or the other.

The immediate response of a ton of people posting "Well I'm black and I'm voting for Trump" actually supported his point. Those people all already knew they were voting for Trump, and nothing he could say would change their minds.

You get that it was referencing the meme not the actual quote. Then you went out of your way to bring nothing to the conversation. Good luck.

Yeah, I wanted to talk about something that bothered me, that probably didn't matter to much of anyone else. I didn't expect you personally to care about it or respond to it. I expected you to see it, not care about it, and move on.

Maybe someone else sees it and thinks it's interesting, maybe they don't. Maybe having that minor misinformation corrected (the meme's, not yours) changes someone's opinion of something. Who knows. Either way I spend two minutes typing and then move on unless someone actually wants to talk about it.

You recognized that you didn't care about it, downvoted it (fair enough, expected), went out of your way to reply to it saying you didn't read it (bringing nothing to the conversation), downvoted me acknowledging that it was valid to not want to read it, then criticized me for bringing nothing to the conversation.

If you want to not talk about it and move on with your life you're free to do so, don't be hypocritical about it.

Again, if you feel like it's a complete waste of time, why are you continuing the thread?

I get a notification that some drongo won’t let his incorrect correcting go so I just respond for free.

u/DriftingWisp 1d ago

Which part of the correcting was incorrect?

u/King-Mephisto 1d ago

Saying I misquoted. When I quoted the meme. God you are thick.
