Who's making the semantic argument now?
You're correct. I used the term first. But NB bit on it, and so the debate went... And let's put your parsing aside for a moment. You know damn well, as Hank stated, the argument is and has been, folks like me cost Hillary the election. Call it theft, choice, whatever you like... Depending on who you are, the argument is somewhere on a continuum between:
I didn't do what I should have done, and
I didn't give a candidate a vote to which she was entitled.
NB at least had the balls to tell me what I suspect many think: I shirked an obligation. I don't agree. But I credit his overtness.
