There's a reason nobody thinks of you as anything but a worthless shit, you know that, right?


I'll admit that one of my not-so-secret PaRD dreams is for you and Cam to get into a discussion together. The depths of insults will know no bounds.

I'm still waiting for that debate we were promised between Cam and Santara about libertarian perspectives on BLM and all that.

Irrelevant. The media doesn't make it official. The vote of the electors makes it official. So The important dates are Dec 8th, Dec 14, and Jan 6th. Any of these can see the payout depending upon the circumstances, or if Trump concedes beforehand.

If the standard is the election being official, a concession is basically irrelevant, amirite? How did this betting payout work in 2016?

Bazi asked what if it's contested, and I said the winner will get declared eventually.

If Bazi wants to wait until the toddler-in-chief's lawsuits get thrown out, that's his decision. I personally believe the bet is won if the math is clear and the major media outlets declare victory(which should be today or tomorrow). If Bazi agrees, it should be paid out.

I say this not because I'm worried about the FG... I don't use FG. But I don't want to enable the President's undermining of democracy here.

Thoughts?

Would love to see that, but Santara hasn't typed more than a sentence in a post since 2011.

Edit: Don't tell him I said that though.

You have to understand, I view that as a pretty serious chore. And I'm tired like all the time, because I work too much.

I have no problem paying out if the pair involved in the bet agree who won the bet.

I mean if he wins dirty he still wins and the bet goes to the one who placed it on him.

Was there a "If he's a child and plays dirty bets are off' clause?

Sure, I totally understand that, and the topic isnt as hot or relevant anymore. It's still always interesting when two persons who share the same or a very similar ideology arrive at very opposite conclusions on an issue.

You know who libertarians hate more than anyone else? Other libertarians. :)

Fair enough. It's up to Bazi after the calls get made.

Acknowledging the possibility that Trump steals an election won by Biden is enabling him.
