69. This strawman is insane

Even after everybody makes clear that isnt the reason people generally think he is the better candidate, you insist that is the case.

Literally. NOBODY is saying he is better because he is white. But it does kind of sound like you are saying he is worse just because he is white. Which is equally silly...

Both candidates are amazing for a million reasons that have nothing to do with color.
