Wong is Wong

The implied suggestion is that the opinions of roughly half the population matters because we're in a system where government is supposed to abide by the opinion of the population. Crypt's point was that taking half the opinion as the whole of the opinion is stupid, because you're then ignoring half of the opinion. He then pointed to half the opinion as evidence that half the opinion is half the opinion.

Write and rung don't come into play.

Cool story.


In the context of ideological validity, popularity has no merit.

[IBCoupe]

And that's the point I was making, sweet potato.

I've worked in elections, and not just my own. For the loosely interested public that makes up the bulk of moderate non-ideological voters, perceived popularity is sadly a way of winning elections. Act like a winner, run more ads, put up more signs, spend more money, and you'll seem more legit.

Its effective. Its wrong.

But I'm not seeing the logical fallacy in Crypt's post.

Oh for f***'s sake, dude. You're like the PMQ of politics.

[IBCoupe]

I don't know what you mean by that.
