Answer:

Amanda is using the logical fallacy called Popularity

Step-by-step explanation:

Popularity is a fallacious reasoning that is to say that a particular proposition is valid or good simply because many people (or most of them) approve it. Also called an appeal to quantity, the argument is invalid because nothing guarantees that something is true or correct simply because of its popularity.
