> Feinstein is the senator I dislike the most

You don't mind the senators that voted to disenfranchise the millions of voters in Arizona?




This is the kind of comment that I fucking hate the most. You've attacked OP with a stupid, bad-faith presumption that has nothing to do with their simple and straightforward statement.

In case I have to spell it out for you, yes, OP can simultaneously disagree with Feinstein and with multiple other politicians.


> OP can simultaneously disagree with Feinstein and with multiple other politicians.

That's not what they said. They said Feinstein was worse.


Worse doesn't mean that everyone else is swell.

A < B and A < 0 doesn’t imply B>0. All it implies is that A<B


I see. So in your world, when I say that Trump was the worst president in history, that means that I "don't mind" Bush or Nixon?

Help me understand your logic here.


It follows from basic math that, if I dislike Feinstein the most, I dislike the other 99 senators less.

However, it doesn't follow from:

“Feinstein is the senator I dislike the most”

That I don’t mind the other 99, or any subset thereof.
