I don't know if English is your second language

I don't know if English is your second language, but this is what's known as a lie for propaganda. There is something reasonable that everyone would be fine with (mobile medical clinic) and then there is the lie you're repeating that you're now going on an odyssey to back peddle away from as if you didn't just repeat propaganda.

Now that the truth has been established your forgot to explain what the problem is.

Your clinging to the idea that there is anyone at all who has said and meant, literally, that Kamala Harris was providing vasectomies to anyone is the kind of shrill idiocy that led her to lose this election.

>"this is what's known as a lie for propaganda"

No one is outright lying, but you are certainly being dishonest by insisting someone else was not speaking figuratively when they obviously were.

>"your(sic) forgot to explain what the problem is."

The problem is that it is weird and off putting to most Americans that there is a clinic offering sterilization procedures to supporters of a politician at their rally.

If you meant something else, why did you say what you did and not the truth? Because you are lying for propaganda. If you wanted to explain the actual truth you would have said it.

No one is outright lying,

You are and you're doing it on purpose for outrage over something that isn't real.

The problem is that it is weird and off putting to most Americans that there is a clinic offering sterilization procedures to supporters of a politician at their rally.

I would guess they offer it to everyone actually. What is the problem? You still haven't explained it.

Everything you've said is variations of "I didn't meant it so it wasn't a lie" and "it's just not right because it is".

Whether you consider my statement factual or not is entirely beside the point.

You’re not going to agree. You don’t have to agree. It’s rhetorical—an attempt to help you understand how to someone might see things. A data point.

I’m explaining how people I know who are, feelings about Trump aside, disenfranchised with the entire democrat strategy, viewed a portion of the greater landscape. A lot of people I know thought it was kinda weird. I don’t owe you a convincing explanation as to why any more than my other comments in this thread might betray. Take it or leave it.

This election was never about Trump.

I don't, because it's not.

disenfranchised

People are being fed constant propaganda like this. Maybe they wouldn't be so upset if they heard things that are true like "there was a mobile clinic in an adjacent parking lot to a convention".

You continue to fail to comprehend the simple rhetorical logic here. You have all the information but cannot seem to process it. Why type of voter does that make you? One that lost.

You don’t need to splain to me how it actually was a mobile clinic. As has already been covered, I know what it was and I don’t know a single person who thinks like you claim to be outraged over. Your entire thread here is a non-sequitur, just like your party’s campaign strategy. People aren’t that dumb.

Right, this is why it's a lie. You know the truth and you say something different, that's what lying is.

The rest of your comment is trying to rationalize and ignore the lies. Insults, people should know better, claiming outrage, trying to talk about something else instead, all to take the focus off the fact that you lied and even you know lying is wrong.

You really are that dense. I’m explaining how people perceived the two candidates. I am not making objective statements about reality. I am explaining peoples’ abject reality to you. Take it or leave it but either way continuing to whine about truth and lies isn't going to fix your party.

This is back peddling from lying and not in the original comment I replied to.
