Doesn't matter, since McDonalds isn't the "executing force" behind the threat.

Doesn't matter either, they try to make their employers think otherwise.

3. If the Dems win the Federal laws that are responsible for the pay cut will remain in force and the pay cut will happen even if every employee voted for the recommended candidates like they have been asked.
Doesn't matter. At the very most this makes it an empty threat, but a threat nonetheless.

Quote:
Now every one of these ridiculous and increasingly violent analogies you and the others put forth here are rendered totally invalid by those essential facts.
Facts that have no influence whatsoever over if it's a threat or not.

If you're going to make analogies at least make them plausibly accurate. This isn't Hollywood, vivid imagery doesn't substitute for substance.
Does "vivid imagery" make an analogy false?

EDIT: Just a reminder: who came up with the "vividly imagined" false analogy of the man warning you to step in front of a bus? It wasn't me. Pot calling the kettle black.
