Anybody who coaches or cheers on youth baseball teams should remember that Dan Bianchi fought against a new minor league baseball park. Oh yes, we did get a great pharmacy with a drive-up window.
Say NO to Bianchi, before he says NO to Pittsfield again. ERIC STONE
Pittsfield
P1. Dan Bianchi fought against a new minor league baseball park
P2. A drive-up pharmacy was built [instead? I'm not sure]
______
Don't vote for Bianchi
So this guy thinks that because Mayoral candidate Dan Bianchi did not approve a new minor league baseball park, he should not be the mayor of Pittsfield. I'm struggling to see if there is a fallacy in this or if it even constitutes as an argument at all. Any thoughts?
Well, since I'm from Pittsfield and I know what you are talking about, yes the pharmacy did go up instead of a minor league baseball field. It is terrible, I know haha. I think that this would fall under the category of a non- argument. I say this because the evidence does not really support the conclusion. Dan Bianchi choosing not to put up a baseball field really had nothing to do with his ability to run the city. If it was considered an argument, however, I would say it to be a fallacious one.
ReplyDeleteWhat fallacy do you think it would be? And why are you on this at 4:54 in the morning?? haha
