Reply to comment by ManfredTheCat in Canada's Ontario to extend gas, fuel tax cut for a year by davidlee93

Or maybe their parents should have spent a few minutes voting instead. I don't blame the kids, I blame their dumb ass parents who are getting what they deserve.

Or maybe some of the parents did spend a few minutes voting. Or were not allowed to vote because they're not citizens or 18. The point is, your logical tack is poor and the idea that the voter is more at fault than the politician is really childish.

I know. An absence of nuance isn't really something to be proud of yet, here you are.

Lol so this is what I said:

>An absence of nuance isn't really something to be proud of yet, here you are.

Which, to be frank, is my openly stating that you lack nuance. And, to be accurate, you do. Your position is the sort of thing I'd expect to hear from a teenager. And then you reply with this:

>Ditto kiddo

Which, to be honest, is a little puzzling because everything I said was nuanced. So I questioned that. And then you said this:

>Your ability to decipher it.

Which makes me wonder. Do you understand what the words 'nuance' or 'ditto' mean?

Do you?

Look at you, unable to find nuance in anything you don't agree with, sad really.

What nuance is there in "those sick kids' parents should have voted better?" None. It's childish.

You want me to do the job your parents and teachers didn't do and educate you? No thanks. If you don't understand, that's on you. Look I don't know what you continuously saying "I don't have the mental capacity to understand your arguments" is supposed to accomplish that it hasn't already. I get that you don't understand, you don't have to prove it over and over.

Well this is one of those childish things you said:

>The point I'm making is that this is what people voted for. Not voting is an approval of the status quo. If people cared, they would have voted, but they didn't so this is on them.

>The grasshopper who sang all summer, and what not.

So where you obviously fucked up is in failing to consider that the people who voted against Ford are in the same boat as the people who voted for him. Because you seem to think nobody voted. This was confirmed in the next few comments you made.

And then when I pressed you on it, you basically shut down to single sentences to try to distance yourself from your really really really stupid argument. And now you're trying to make this about me when it's actually about the stupid point you made. Which you can try but I won't let you. So as long as you keep replying I feel comfortable reminding you.
