Wow, you're pretty obnoxious.
Guess you're right, though

As the saying goes: "Don't start nothin', won't be nothin'."
You tried calling them out with a “gotcha” to make yourself look smart and then got told off, but they’re the obnoxious one?

No, I called them out on something I thought they were wrong about because they were being super obnoxious in the way they were stating it.
Turns out they were right, but instead of losing the attitude, they doubled down on the toxicity. When I admitted they were right, they doubled down again.
So yeah, pretty obnoxious, all told.
1. Of all ballots, only 49.7961% were for Trump. [0]
2. Of ballots where someone made a non-blank choice for President, 50.1976% were for candidates who were not-Trump.
So when I explicitly wrote about a "minority" of "voters", that really does mean an an actual mathematical minority of the people who actually voted, thankyouverymuchdamnit.
