gearhog Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 28 minutes ago, slackline said: Saying a city has more violence, crime, homelessness and racial injustice because it is democratically led is a false correlation. Simply not accurate, but it's easy to draw that false correlation because most people won't look beyond the surface. From the article: "Is it reasonable to connect the violence and partisanship? In short, no. “I don’t think there’s any data that would allow us to draw a causal conclusion here,” said David Weisburd, executive director of the Center for Evidence Based Crime Policy at George Mason University. “Somehow arguing that Democrats cause crime or something of that sort just doesn’t fit the history of crime prevention in the U.S.” If you interpret the claim as referring to Democratic leadership, Weisburd notes that President Bill Clinton had one of the strongest recent administrations in terms of funding the criminal justice system. But more broadly, linking crime and votes simply doesn’t reflect how crime works. Studies have repeatedly found that urban crime is not a widespread phenomenon — like voting is — but a product of small groups of people in small areas." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/06/24/fact-check-linking-city-violence-democratic-politics-reach/3248102001/ Isn't it more likely that urban areas have more of these problems because they have more people? Every single one of these problems could be due to that fact alone. Can you quote where I mentioned anything about crime and violence? You're fabricating a position, attributing it to me, and creating an argument against it just so you can feel like you won a debate. Retarded.

This, gentlemen, is how you handle controversy! He is talking about cars. We are talking about in entire country's election process which doesn't need to be analyzed. Apples to oranges. /s
slackline Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 1 minute ago, Guardian said: So a place that is governed by ideals leaning more towards one set of ideals doesn’t have results that relate directly back to those ideals? So if a terrible set of parents raises terrible kids, it’s not their fault and doesn’t have any correlations? I’m just having a tough time following your argument. Apples to Oranges comparison. The effect of a parent far outreaches the effect of say, a mayor or city council, on a population. 100% disingenuous way to ignore the point that is being made in my post. My point is that this is a way to complex thing to simply say democrats run things, that's why they're jacked up. There are plenty of instances where there was/is a Republican person in charge in some urban area, and things didn't magically get better. It's easier for the right to say, "oh look, Democrats are in control of that area, and they have problems." It's not that simple. 5 minutes ago, M2 said: Honestly, I can't understand why any side wouldn't want to ensure the election was as fair as possible!

I don't think there's anything wrong with him proceeding as if he won while this plays out in the courts. I don't think you can equate him saying "Trump isn't doing his legacy any favors" to "I won, stop counting, it's over." Also, that car is uhhhmazing! Saw that when it came out, super cool!

I read the homelessness, racial injustice, etc. and my brain automatically included crime and violence because that mantra comes from the right so often. My point stands even about homelessness and your other points. My apologies for falsely attributing the crime and violence thing to you. Relax... I am posting nothing to "feel" like I won a debate.

DosXX Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 4 minutes ago, Seadogs said: Why can't he say that? He can say what he wants, and Biden can choose not to say whatever he wants too. M2 took the liberty to suggest what Biden should do, and I am doing the same for Trump. It's creating millions of cynical citizens who will deny court decisions on this for something and has already been discredited. You can do it yourself if you have some programming knowledge. Here is the source of data and script: https://thedonald.win/p/11Q8O2wesk/happening-calling-every-pede-to-/ The "stolen votes" were a rounding error since the percentages were scraped to the first decimal place. So if the true count was 49.94% the script read it as 49.9%. For a million votes that's 40,000 votes, and across multiple updates in multiple states you get to the 2.7 million number. And of course, if you do this yourself with the file you will find just as many Trump round off errors as Biden ones.

Guardian Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Regardless of the outcome going through this process is good. The justice dept and system looking into this is good. It will absolutely help strengthen the voting system for the future and it gives credibility to the process of investigations. This, regardless of who wins, is a very good thing. Side note, see that PA court system ruled for trump and against the PA Secretary of State for overstepping her bounds? 1

I find it odd how all the fault lies on one side of this equation. The fact that the sitting president has been encouraging people to believe the system will be cheated for months, sorry, years, is completely ignored. Had he give that fact some air time as well, he’d be much more credible.He’s not wrong though, Joe Biden is nothing as of right now. He’s not legally elected to anything. He should still be preparing for that potential eventuality.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2

You may be underestimating how low this whole thing is likely to go. Let’s assume that Trump expends all of his legal options and the results overwhelmingly fail to support his claims of fraud (This seems likely based on legal results thus far...you may disagree, but bear with me). What happens then? Do you think Trump is going to tell his supporters “well guys, the American legal system has had its say and we must have faith in that system.”? Hell no he’s not. He’ll leave the White House kicking and screaming and spend the next four years convincing a large percentage of Americans that every aspect of our government, including the legal system is beholden to the liberal deep state and they will come to the conclusion that the only answer is to burn the whole thing down. Do you think that’s a good path for our country? Because that is absolutely the path we’re on as long as this guy continues to be enabled by the party he co-opted. 1

The burden of proof is on those claiming it is. You can say it is all you want. I have faith it is not, and hopefully that will be evidenced in a few weeks when this is all done with one of the two worst presidential candidates in the history of the US as the President Elect.
