logical fallacy:<p>&gt;A logical fallacy is an error in the logic of an argument that prevents it from being logically valid but does not prevent it from swaying people&#x27;s minds<p>Can you show me the logic of the argument in a manner that makes sense?<p>heres what i see:<p>1. elderly population is becoming ever larger part of electorate<p>2. this is causing an imbalance, as in the past new generations began influencing the political sphere earlier, as the older generations were much thinner<p>3. this imbalance is evidenced by political support for a youth focused populist candidate<p>(heres where maybe im missing something)<p>4. this imbalance doesnt exist because its not as bad as africa.<p>To me, its a straight up non sequitur let alone a FRP - on its face fallacious in more ways than one.<p>On one hand we have a discussion about internal demographics in the US, and then here we have a counter argument proposing that the problems are not real based on the fact that someone has it worse.<p>This isnt an argument i disagree with - I am not somehow implying that the US has it worse than africa.  I am purely saying that bringing africa into a discussion about internal demographics and specifically age demographics of voters, is fallacious (i mean the commentor literally responded to political unrest of a population segment with &#x27;at least there is no one starving&#x27;).  Hopefully you can present the argument in a way that  clarifys what i may be missing.
