On: Trump wins presidency for second time

[siffin]

It's like being a pastry chef and mocking someone's cake as if it's the worst cake ever, but you can't even make a better one even though it's your profession.

[diffeomorphism → siffin]

Or you do make a better one but still lose because people did not actually care about the cake but about the messaging.

Or in meme form:

I think it’s more about taste being subjective. So if my “better” cake is actually less preferred, then it’s not actually better.

Making an objective statement about subjectivity is kind of silly in the first place. Then losing shows it to be stupid.

[card_zero → prepend]

So the election was about nothing objective?

[prepend → card_zero]

Definitely not. It’s the weighing of the population’s subjective preferences. It’s quite literally each voter’s perspective and choice that matters.

Hopefully, subjective preferences are based on objective facts and reality. But who can really know.

It's more like making an edible cake but the customers preferring the one containing rat entrails because they'd rather eat rat entrails than let anyone else eat an edible cake.

[mvdtnz → zimpenfish]

No, it isn't. And the fact that you think it is, is the problem.

[gregoryl → mvdtnz]

This kinda of argument is the crux of your issue. "no it isn't" vs "this is why I disagree:"

[arandomusername → gregoryl]

User above hasn't really given any points to disagree about.

You're saying "the Turd Sandwich is inedible. Everyone should order the Shit Burger instead."

Maybe you could leave the Poop Cafe and have something that's food instead lmao
