They meant in the US election.

That's right I voted in my local provincial elections where a clear winner still hasn't emerged. My local NDP MLA wrecked the hell out of her Conservative opponent in votes, thankfully.

Then they should have said that.

It was pretty clear what they meant if you had at least two functioning brain cells to rub together.

It was pretty clear I was making a joke about their ambiguous wording if you weren't a complete asshole.

If you were joking, then you figured out what they meant. If you figured out what they meant, then everyone else can too. Their wording was fine and clear within the surrounding context

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Shit, you really don't understand sarcasm.

[-] MrBobDobalina@lemmy.nz 7 points 3 weeks ago

I'm not sure that you do. Pretending to not understand something you then say that you did understand is not sarcasm. It's more like feigned ignorance. And while I guess that can be used to point out that something is unclear, in this case the thing was clear, so the 'joke' didn't really land

Sometimes they just don’t land.
