World Politics

[Split T]

Well that is strange, I would think clerical error before I think conspiracy though. Did that happen on other broadcasts or did someone at cnn just incorrectly attribute stuff to Trump and fixed their mistake? How do the networks get those numbers?

[In2ition]

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that they are directly tied to the state's count totals through an API during these broadcasts.

[Mori Chu]

This stuff has already been combed through in great detail. Many lawsuits, recounts, and investigations occurred. Do you really think a graphic briefly changing indicates a great conspiracy to change votes? And not just an error or whatever it almost certainly is instead?

[Superbone]

Yes, they were counted and recounted. The government doesn't control TV graphics.

[In2ition]

Yes, they were counted and recounted. The government doesn't control TV graphics.

They do if the numbers shown in the graphics are coming directly from the state government APIs.

It's a CoNsPiRaCy!!!

So sick of Maga conspiracies and their FU way of thinking.

Russia invading NATO - Maga says good job Putin, we support you 100%.

Taxes - Taxes are bad and people that cheat on their taxes are the real Americans.

Military- People that join the military are all suckers and losers

Democracy - All US institutions are evil corrupt deep state entities that must be eliminated at all costs.

Sexual assault - Well, she probably deserved it.

Trump lying and cheating - He doesn’t ever lie or cheat. Everyone else is lying and cheating and this poor innocent man has been accused of horrible things he couldn’t have possibly done because he is Gods chosen one and God wouldn’t choose someone who wasn’t saintly.

Minorities - Nuff said

None of this is real, it's all a Democrat media driven narrative. You'll see! *scurries off to buy more Kyle Rittenhouse merch"

Actually his usual line is, “Never happened, she’s too ugly to sexually assault.”

[Nodack]

Well, when you are as famous as him you can do anything…

You are sick of all the lies you make up in your head about people? You should be.

[Nodack]

They are only lies to Maga.

[In2ition]

They are only lies to Maga.

Dude, it's just a lot of hateful comments, and it's disturbing that you have been convinced that is who you think half the country is.

Here's the thing, if someone made a list of lies about you, and you said that they were a bunch of lies. Would it make those lies true if that person said, "They are only lies to you."? No, you would know more than anyone that they were lies, and you wouldn't appreciate it. If anyone else believed those lies because that person said it, but didn't believe you saying that they were lies, it makes it worse.

It's the, "when are you going to stop beating your wife?" tactic. Wtf, man?

[Mori Chu]

The Politics section has gotten a little more heated and negative lately. (I'm as guilty of this as anyone.) We could all do well to chill out and be kind to each other, even though the people on the other side have crazy political views.

[Nodack]

I agree.

[In2ition]

Yikes. The first video shows the fire, and the guy has to resort to using the water cooler to put it out. Do they not have fire extinguishers in Russia? The bottom left one was interesting, as the ballot box itself is transparent, which is interesting. I don't think that would fly here, as people feel like that would be a violation of the privacy in voting, but you can see how many ballots are in the box at any one time.

Anyone watching the stuff that's being reported coming out of Haiti? What are your thoughts?

[Mori Chu]

My (pro-Trump) mother-in-law was going on about it. She said Biden has caused the ruin of Haiti and it's fallen to gangs and thugs or something. I haven't taken the time to read up on it. She very often blames Biden/Dems for anything bad going on, so I figured I was going to have to learn more about it on my own. I haven't seen any mention of Haiti on my Twitter feed or other socials, fwiw.

[In2ition]

I don't think it's Biden's fault.

[Nodack]

Not a place I plan to visit anytime soon.
