Yes, because now you've added the critical qualifier "who have ever been on the ballot". Without that, it doesn't hold.

No black woman has ever won the election or lost the election, because the set of black women who have ever been on the ballot before is empty.

Not really, since in most (all?) U.S. presidential elections to date there has not been a black woman on the ballot. I think there's an important semantic difference between losing and not winning. The equal but opposite statement to the OP would be that a black woman has never won the election, which is true.

I too was similarly confused by the original comment at first, but I think they're referring to the fact that 6pm GMT is 7pm in London during the summer (BST), and 6pm in London the rest of the year. It seems OP and "them" are both correct in that hypothetical exchange.

You can definitely be downvoted... @sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone's comment is showing -3 points as of this writing.

I haven't heard this before. Why do you say that?

In short? Medical debt. Emergency rooms will treat you, and in some cases might offer discounted rates for patients without insurance, but at the end of the day you are still responsible for the bill, however large it may be.
