    poisoning the well is a form of ad hominem where you say (or imply) that someone’s arguments are unsound because of something else they have said or done. it’s prima facie ad hominem because you are attacking the person, not the argument.

      The argument you provided weren’t arguments because they didn’t align with the subject proposal at hand which is downballot choices. You came with the upballot. That’s not an argument to begin with. And I was making a observation of your responses.
