    can you show an election where somebody in the polling position of biden has come back to win it?

    non-us election cycles are shorter than the time that’s left i don’t think it’s an impossible hurdle

      I don’t have to show evidence for a claim I did not make.

      You, however, made this claim: it’s better to have an unknown than a known candidate that people don’t like.

      Can you back it up with evidence or not?

        i think it’s weird that you think you’re allowed to infer claims from my position but that i’m not allowed to infer claims from yours

          I didn’t infer anything. You made a direct claim that you aren’t backing up. I quoted it. I have made no claims.

            you didn’t quote anything?

            please could you quote the exact words you believe i used to express “it’s better to have an unknown than a known candidate that people don’t like.”?

            thank you

              that was the original statement Flying Squid was replying to before you joined in the thread, Squid just didn’t seem to notice that you’re not the same commenter.

                no, they’re just full of shit

                  I think there may be some confusion on Flying Squid’s part about who they’re questioning. I believe (and hopefully, I’m reading this correctly) Flying Squid is looking for clarification from Bostonbananarama and you just happened to chime in with a related point? This Crowdstrike B.S. got e’erybody fucked up on no-change Friday.

        the commenter you’re replying to now isn’t the one who made that claim, and for some reason they aren’t speaking up to clarify that about themselves.
