Are you sure that you actually saw the lists you posted?

Again, did I say ANYTHING about the bias of facebook one way or the other? YOU said "the only people that use Facebook" and when questioned about it produced "proof" that proves nothing but it certainly implies that non-conservative people also use facebook.

Do you still believe that conservatives are "the only people that use Facebook"? Or are you going to accept that you screwed that up?

Do you think when he said that he meant it literally, or hyperbolically?

I did some research and I may have been wrong. While India alone has more facebook users than people in the US it turns out around 51% of facebook posts are in english. Now, I said the users are "not english speaking" it certainly seems more than half are english reading and writing.

I took it as literal. The question I asked you that you chose not to answer was also literal.

That sounds like your problem. I didn’t choose not to answer, I didn’t see it (but I’ll go answer now). Though you talking about not answering questions is rich after you cowardly scurried away on the NBA Forum once it became clear I correctly inferred your opinion and you got mad about it.

To use your tactic:

Do YOU think all facebook users are conservative?

---

No, I don’t think all Facebook users are conservative, I also don’t think people who say things like “only conservatives use Facebook” mean it literally, and I think anyone who does is an idiot.

He meant it literally. Even doubled down on it after posting rankings that proved him wrong.

You think he meant 100% of the users of Facebook are conservative? That not a single liberal uses Facebook?

You really believe that?

Of course not, but he definitely meant it as to be a massive majority. He even doubled down with this 1 in 9 BS. lol.

Aha, so you were lying when you said you thought he meant it literally just now because you admit you don’t believe he meant exactly what he said?

I don’t actually think you were lying, I just want to point out how stupid and exhausting Scoots’ attempt to be exact about statements that are clearly hyperbolic in nature.

I didn’t see him say 1 in 9, but that seems like an extreme breakdown. It’s a massive site, I doubt you’d get such large splits.

But I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that conservatives definitely use Facebook for politics more, based on how much more conservative sites get shared, followed, and read on the site.

Well, for full transparency I am the last person to give my 2 cents on it because I haven't used the platform a single time. Ever. However, anyone with a glob in their head that resembles a brain knows that his post was just another attempt at being a partisan hack.
