My criticism was of you equating "hasn't happened" with "can't happen".
"Admitting" that you were wrong after the fact is useless in that context and insisting on your fallacy until then is WORSE than useless.
So you're just being an asshole. Got it.
They weren't though...?
Nope, that's you. I'm the one pointing it out.
I'm what way exactly? By pointing out something never happened? Please.
For the third and last time: by equating "hasn't happened" with "can't happen", thereby pissing in the cereal of anyone who wants to believe that Mamdani might actually be the real deal.
Reality does suck.
Again, "your pessimistic expectations" ≠ "inescapable reality".
Again. When has it happened before? Hm? Once?
Fuck it.
You're clearly either willfully obtuse or incapable of understanding a simple point no matter how many times I repeat and rephrase it, so I'll stop wasting my time on you.
Have the day you deserve.
So you're not able to provide any examples. Your just hoping.
That's not how life works.
I hope you have have a great weekend!
Holy shit, you're one of those no child left behind 6th grade average US reading level people, huh?
No. But believe whatever you want to make up.
You can't read for shit, that's been made obvious.
