    This isn’t the coup de grace you think it is.

    I just thought it was funny.

    I’m not claiming any specific intent behind your statements.

    It’s just that both-siding requires intent. You wouldn’t be both-sideing without it, it would just be a statement mentioning both sides.

    I’m sorry but this has gone to a stupid degree. You misunderstood what I said as both-siding, I explained multiple times it wasn’t that, honestly time to give this a rest.

      I pointed out that your argument was so reductive as to amount to both-siding. I’m glad it wasn’t your intent, but it’s a shame that you don’t see the problem with that regardless.

        Election denialism seems to just now be a feature of American politics

        But both sides aren’t doing it equally!!! How dare you claim so!

        I didn’t.

        Should’ve been the end of it, really.

          You really can’t address the argument I made, can you?

          Your comment was so reductive as to be indistinguishable from bad faith equivalency. The claim that you didn’t mean to speaks only to your naivety.

            The whole discussion has been you attacking a position I never had and now venting how I caused you to misunderstand. I’m sorry you’re upset but this discussion serves no purpose anymore.
