Still not rocket science.


Trump has been trying to unseat himself. He has confessed to sex crimes, made fun of disabled people, hides his financial and foreign entanglements, and managed to get himself impeached. Bonus he hasn't been able to keep a stable cabinet and anyone with a brain and a sack has walked away from him shaking their heads, and in the case of John Bolton running away to avoid being an accessory to major crimes.

All accomplishments could have been made by any warm body , congress did it all and he had to sign off on...judges... bipartisan criminal justice reform by both parties, etc. Also he lost the House to the Democratic party!?!?!? Wtf was that even possible? 8 years ago it was the most reactively conservative branch of government! Also the most reflective of prevailing attitudes due to its frequent elections.

The only thing I've seen him lead is the anti-mask movement during a pandemic. General Bonespur we salute you!

If we kill all the jews crime will go to zero


Its in the future. No fact checking possible


In a country of 340 million there probably will be at least 1 case of some election fraud Trump talked about, therefore the probability is >0%.

If a fact checker says, no this future event is impossible, it will never happen, it's on them to prove the probability is 0%. We can fact check past events because they already happened. Like i either posted post #65 in this thread or i did not. It's binary and mutually exclusive. How is twitter proving that no election fraud will happen?

Prove your garbage example has a probability of 0%?

Sad state of affairs when someone with a graduate degree in science doesn't understand such basic scientific thought process or even the most basic tenants of logic.

If they added an opinion. Election fraud isn't a problem in the United States outside the fantasies of conspiracy theorist. They are moving to delegitimize an election he might lose.

If trump loses this election is a very real chance he might try to stay in office despite of it.


Election fraud occurs every election. (fact)

The size and scope of the fraud varies. (fact)

Any fraud at all is in violation of both law and the spirit of our Republic. (fact)

Any changes to the system that may cause more fraud than currently exists is a topic worthy of intense scrutiny prior to adopting. (fact)

Based on this litany of facts, your conclusion that election fraud is just a conspiracy theorist's fantasy is clearly false.

As is your suggestion that Trump would attempt to stay in office. You're just shitting directly into the wind at this point, aren't you?

post the legal statutes defining and differentiating "platform" and "publisher", please.

not a 5 paragraph rant, a link to a legal federal statute.


Do your own research, I'm not your little bitch. What the fuck is the matter with you? If you don't know shit about the subject, why are you arguing about it?

You keep thinking the US is a Democracy... it isn't.

As for voter suppression... that's the biggest crock since... I dunno... since France said they would fight in WW II. :D

1781 Yorktown victory was given by France for real americans, not for people like you.

im calling you out. u use terms as if they have legal weight from a false ivory tower because your posts have proved you're a legal novice who is faking it here as if anyone buys your shit.

if u have a legal argument that twitter legally should be regulated, and that the terms you're using have actual merit, then prove it.

i went to law school, and i know the terms you're using are nothing but opinions certain justices might argue for. there's nothing concrete here.

but no you're not MY little bitch.

lol at the idea that twitter does anything different to find common ground. it has reduced people's ideas of communication and debate to buzzwords and cancel culture.

reddit has a diverse rainbow of communities. open-leftist, open-conservative, open-neutral (rare), closed-leftist, closed-conservative, closed-neutral, etc. they serve a myriad of purposes, and there's differentiation between upvotes and comment sections. some massively upvoted posts are still contentious in the comments.

facebook, twitter, etc are just exposing us to the stream of consciousness of people we're only tangentially connected to, that and elevates the ideas of people for no other reason than they act, or play sports, or are just a blogger with some niche following. its a terrible idea and does nothing to help gridlock and polarization. its just gas on the fire.


As long as a platform connects people to other people's ideas based on outside factors like real life connections, there's still a chance of stumbling across different opinions and viewpoints. If you directly connect people to others based on common ideas, opinions and interests, this chance is reduced to near zero.

Sure, even facebook and twitter suffer from echo chambers. But imho far less so than reddit, where echo chambers are formed by design.

:rofl:

Theres a non zero chance that if I shoot you in the head 20 times you won't die. Doesn't mean if I post "shoot him 20 times in the head, he won't die" I'm telling the truth and can't be fact checked or called out for promoting your homocide.

There's a non-zero chance that the sun explodes tomorrow and it causes elections to be held early, the population to go up 10 fold, etc. etc. add as many ridiculous things as you like. The possibility being >0% (because literally nothing has a 0% possibility) doesn't mean it can't be fact checked.

Hell, you can apply this stunningly stupid standard to the past as well. There's a non zero chance Jesus was a flying monkey that authored the bible through totally random chance, akin to monkeys on a typewriter producing Shakespeare. So therefore it can't be fact checked since it has a non-zero probability!

God, you're posting something this stupid and still trying to act superior.

it just sounds like u dont use reddit tbh. in many communities even with millions of subscribers there are still topics from all viewpoints, sort by NEW not TOP and you'll get an even better exposure. then dig into the comments, ideas from all sides even in biased subs with biased posts.
