      Nope, you literally keep arguing that Hillary lost because she went left and Obama won because he didn’t. Accurately restating your nonsense is not a strawman.

      As for ad hominem, that’s a nope too. An ad hominem fallacy is when you try to dismiss an argument by insulting the person rather than the context of the argument.

      In this case, I’m adding an accurately descriptive insult as an observation after dismissing your argument based on one of many examples of how ridiculous the argument itself is. Which is not an ad hominem.

      You, logic, and language don’t seem to be on the best of terms…
