    Lol, the reason it’s in quotes is because it’s quoting you.

    It’s in quotes because I was quoting you. If it had been in quotes when I quoted it from you, I would have done something like “‘They didn’t decide.’” Although I wouldn’t have even done that, because I’m honest and not trying to be right. I would have wondered why I misinterpreted it. You don’t strike me as all that dumb, but to not even go and look three posts up to see if you had quoted it seems incredibly dumb, especially if you are basing your whole argument on it.

      the candidate they decide deserves to be president loses.

      Is what I originally said… You decided to take it out of context and change the phrasing, interpreting it as if I claimed they rigged the primaries. In reality they did decide who they thought deserves to be the president, the impartiality is clear.

      You aren’t being very academically honest.

      This is all moot, the original argument was that you claimed all the DNC did was write some bad email, and that’s just not true. The DNC showed a remarkable amount of bias in the primaries. All your other arguments have just been poor attempts to distract from the fact that your original statement was a lie.

      Go kick rocks.

        I love how you won’t even admit that you weren’t quoting me, and that you were clearly indicating that they had rigged the other election, but then have the nerve to say I’m being academically dishonest. Lol classic projection.

          Lol

          They didn’t decide.

          And

          the candidate they decide deserves to be president loses.

          Are the same to you…?

          Keep trying to shift the goal post.

          You are the one who made an assertion, I rebutted it with sources evidence. You keep trying to squirm away from the fact that you were absolutely wrong. You can keep up the gish gallop of logical fallacies if you want, but we both know you have failed to defend your original affirmation, so now you are relying on semantic reasoning.

          Project harder next time.

            I’m not even sure what you’re arguing anymore.

            Are you actually trying to say you did not say “They didn’t decide”? Because it’s right there, just a few posts up. Literally word for word.

            Are you really not smart enough to just go look back after I told you you said it? Or are you just grossly dishonest? Who are you lying for here? You can’t honestly believe you can gaslight, because it’s still right there for me to look at.

              Can you not see that you were the first to state “They didn’t decide”?

              Again, “DNC has the responsibility to remain impartial, and when it doesn’t, it’s not surprising that the candidate they decide deserves to be president loses.” Is not the same as “they decided”.

              Believing someone deserves something is not the same as giving something to someone. It’s just evidence of partiality.

              Are you really not smart enough to just go look back after I told you you said it? Or are you just grossly dishonest? Who are you lying for here? You can’t honestly believe you can gaslight, because it’s still right there for me to look at.

              I think you may need to work on your rhetoric and reading comprehension.

              Also, I see you’ve continued to ignore the fact that you haven’t defended your original statement. You know… the whole point of the argument.
