"you can't convince me" doesn't sound like an invitation to debate. It sounds like a warning that debating that topic with you would be a waste of time because you won't listen anyway.

I can provide my justification for believing that voting for a 3rd party is a waste of a vote. Are you actually willing to be convinced if a sufficient argument is presented? I.e. are you retracting your "you can't convince me" statement? If not, I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince the unconvinceable.

Bro, are you ever going to make your point? Or are you just going to keep talking about how I made mine?

No, I don't think I will. I asked you a direct question, if you will retract your statement of "no one can convince me" and you ignored the question. You can't even acknowledge the one thing that I've been calling you out on after I've repeatedly demonstrated the problem to you.

I don't think you will engage honestly so I have no interest in continuing a conversation.

I absolutely did acknowledge it. I said the problem was my verbage, which it is. We're going back and forth over what boils down to semantics. As far as I see it, you actually can't convince me anyways because you clearly don't have a very sound argument or else you would have made it by now.
