'Forget it, he's rolling': Can anyone out there make sense of David Hogg's Election Day tweet?

David Hogg isn’t known for smart takes, but at least we can usually figure out what he’s trying to say.

Not this time:

America has the chance to prove what it loves more

-Insanely lax gun laws

or

-Children

Be part of that decision, vote November 6th before your job is to tell others to.

Our heads hurt. Does anyone else’s head hurt?

Thank you for standing up as a voice of your generation.

If David Hogg is a voice of his generation, his generation’s in some serious trouble. Where do we even start with Hogg’s tweet?

Logical fallacy, this is a false dilema.

Gun laws aren’t lax…enforcement is.

Regardless: false dichotomy

This is a logically absurd false choice. Kids are safer from violent deaths in schools today than they have been at any point since tracking began in the early 1990's, despite a 50% increase in the number of privately owned guns. We wrote about this here: https://t.co/J1XIqcvETg

But even putting the false choice aside, what’s up with that last sentence?

That last sentence makes no sense. "Be part of the decision, vote November 6". OK – with you so far. "Before your job is to tell others to"? What? It implies a threat, but what is the threat? That you tell others to vote? https://t.co/4shjAi9Ca0
