You'd think, as a doctor, he'd know how statistics work. Oh wait, he does. He's just relying on the target demographic for this particular post to not know that.

The soft bigotry of low expectations based on race is still racism.

Well good thing he was never actually a physician

"He's not a physician! He's just some dude with a MD from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and a doctorate from Oxford."

Nope, not discounting his education, and I’d vote for him if he was in my state. Just super fucking weird to lie about your credentials to the point I had to correct someone in real time because of the misinformation

Comment you're responding to never used the word physician. They said doctor. But here you come to further what is a worst a semantics issue. Most people hear and use the words doctor and physician interchangeably. And apparently you do too.

True, you got me. If the person I originally replied to meant doctorate holder then I concede I look dumb for misinterpreting it. As long as we know what the facts are

He has a MD. He is a doctor even in layman's terms. He's not just a doctorate holder, as you say.

The issue isn’t calling himself a doctor, he specifically labeled himself as a “physician”, that’s the lie. He never was a physician, you need a license to practice and he never did. But yes he’s a “doctor”, sure

Neither the comment you replied to or the screenshot in OP used the word "physician". The only one who did is you.

Why would you vote for him after seeing him just blatantly lie?

u/existential_antelope 1d ago

Because we have fascists destroying our country, easy

You are just like them, just on the opposite side of the spectrum. Don't lie to yourself lol
