minus-square@Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish0•5 months ago Maybe cool the reactionary rhetoric You confused the statement with its converse. “If you are X, then you’ll hop aboard the Biden replacement train” does not imply “If you hop aboard the Biden replacement train, then you are X” Understand? This is a common error and is known as “affirming the consequent”. I never made the statement that you assumed I had.
