- ImPostingOnHN 8mo agoYou clearly said that opposition to the Iran war was not a majority position [0] (i.e., that the Iran war is something voters want), which is incorrect. Your explanation of this claim was that voters don't care about Iran, which is also incorrect, per polling [1]. 0 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47250233 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47250233 1 - https://time.com/7382231/iran-us-israel-war-support-polling-trump-republicans-democrats/ https://time.com/7382231/iran-us-israel-war-support-polling-...
- ajross 8mo agoCite 0 isn't what I said, though. I said people who care about Iran (in the sense of it being a primary driver of voting preference) are in the minority. You're arguing with a strawman, or a mistake. You agree with me.
- ImPostingOnHN 8mo ago> Cite 0 isn't what I said, though. Yes it is. Here is the exchange in question: >> I'm talking about the majority position, not minority (opposition to Iran war) > So, no, you're not. Or you're misunderstanding how this works. > people don't care about the war in Iran. They were talking about the majority position (it is opposition to Iran war), and they weren't "misunderstanding how this works", and people do care about the war in Iran. >I said people who care about Iran (in the sense of it being a primary driver of voting preference) are in the minority. Close -- you were talking about people who care about the Iran war, and you omitted everything in parentheses. In contradiction to that thing which you said, however: People who oppose the Iran war are in the majority.
