Having a favorite politician seems odd to me

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

If you have a politician that you rank above others, then by definition, that is your favorite politician.

What if they’re my least disliked instead?

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I would say preferred, not favorite

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Favorite just means most preferred.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Preferred means favoured, not necessarily favorite

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yes, but they specifically qualify that by saying "most preferred". And the one who is favored most above all is by definition the favorite.

This is such a stupid fucking thing to be splitting hairs about. Just shut up.

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 1 points 11 hours ago

Follow your own advice next time. Thanks.

Right, like when you favour a leg that is hurt? Is that because it's your most preferred leg? Your favorite leg?
