If you mean @barry_aptt then I'm happy to report that I did check their profile before making my original comment.

This is exactly what I’m talking about. You have no idea who that person is, what correlation their posting has to their political position, or in fact whether they exist at all. And you’re drawing equivalence between that post and a recorded statement by the president.

Right right.

you’re drawing equivalence between that post and a recorded statement by the president.

If I said both cats and dogs animals, would you get upset over me drawing equivalence between cats and dogs? Give me a break.

You can’t just ignore parts of the argument to which you have no answer.

You don’t know who that person is or whether they even exist. It is beyond spurious to assign their statements to any other entity.

I'm sure it's just a fake account someone crafted for years to mislead me into thinking someone on the Democratic side might be dubious about the elections results.

There are plenty of fake accounts in existence.

You don’t know either way, which makes your attribution entirely fallacious.
