    yes it is.

    we’re holding a vote on whether to buy coke or pepsi for tonight’s party of 40.

    if only 5 people submit their preference, that means the 35 who saw the message but didn’t bother responding are OK with either. they lose the right to complain at the party that they preferred the one that the 3-person “majority” didn’t vote for.

      False equivalency of the highest level. Only a child or an idiot would think a democratic vote and a preference for coke/pepsi are the same. smh

        what a dumb way to say it’s your first time encountering an analogy.

        but I knew by your comments that whatever analogy i might use you’d try to weasel or if it by saying that’s different.

        i chose pepsi and coke deliberately actually for this reason. most people normally prefer coke. but for is also on the bds list now, so it is a political vote involving genocide. would you look at that.
