    The problem is that the argument requires taking sweeping generalizations and trying to make a specific conclusion. Even if people are 98% the same, they are still 2% different, and so you can’t just say, “Well, they’re similar, so I’m sure that they have the same views even in the most extreme issues.”

    including the part where Harris seems to realize she made an error with that quote.

    This is a stunning admission. You’re previously claiming that Harris will do all the same things that you imagined Biden might do, and now you’re saying that she claimed the quote you used to prove it was an error.

    So, you have no argument at all.

    But I appreciate the unduly condescending tone. It really makes this place feel like Reddit.

    I was condescending towards the argument, not you, because the argument really was that worthless. I felt embarrassed responding to something so obviously empty and wrong. Since I have made the point and now you seem to be making it personal by attacking me, I’m done here. Adios.
