yeah. I remembered exactly what I said, and you couldn't even quote it one comment later.

    I suppose remembering what you said and knowing what words mean is different. Fascinating.

    rephrasing an argument to sound silly is the definition of a straw man. what I said is true.

    A strawman is where you invent a different argument, then defeat it. Rephrasing the exact argument you made in funnier language isn't a strawman. It's just what you said, but more plainly. "Voting doesn't work because I don't always get what I want." That's what you said in literal English.
