Conspiracy theories are not okay. They are the antithesis of skepticism. A person who engages in conspiratorial thinking is a person who does not care about truth.

Right, I'm too skeptical to believe in conspiracy theories.

Conspiracy theorists on the other hand want to believe despite the evidence being non existent or based on half truths. If they were free thinkers who wanted to make up their own mind then they wouldn't hitch their wagon to such crazy ideas.

The entire thread is loaded with you attempting to deceive people. Flat out lies that have been factually debunked by many people, many times over. Yet YOU still have not provided one single concrete shred of factual evidence to your claims, to anyone. You make things up out of thin air. You try to constantly shift the burden of proof. You've been proven a hypocrite. Yes, you are absolutely 100% factually been attempting to deceive people. Proof? This thread. Now provide some factual and credible evidence for your own claims. We've all been waiting this entire time. 344 pages, and notta from you. Time to pay up or shut your mouth.

There's no proof to any of your claims.

It's not the default stance. Prior to Trump getting into the games, less than %50 people voted, which probably should be interpreted as that the majority would prefer anarchy to scammy political puppet shows.
Ok, let's do this another way.

Imagine that there is a country, we'll call it Tabzerland. I've been President of Tabzerland for 4 years and I want a re-election. We'll assume that it's a two-party state, so you're my rival and you're running for election.

Election night comes, and you win. We'll say Tabzerland is home to 50 million voters, so you got, say 26 million votes, and I got 24 million. You beat me by a few percent.

Now, I go on an imaginary social media app called Twatter, and I twat 'STOP THE COUNT' and claim that the election was rigged against me.

So, now that I've claimed foul play, do you bow down to me and give me your victory, or do you tell me to prove that your supporters rigged the election?

I can't convince people who are willing to lie to stop lying without having greater leverage. Showing a video of a blue sky, in this context, would yield people saying "that's not blue!".
"you wouldn't believe it anyway" is a pretty shithouse argument
Politics is not about truth.
mask off moment right here everyone

dude, conservatives never engage with metaphors
this is a waste of time, just point and laugh at the "politics is not about truth" man

prove that
no, seriously, prove that there's no proof to his claims

I'm not expecting an honest response, but I just want to see what his answer is.

No. I ask you "since when did you disagree with how we do elections and how can we improve them so that we both can agree in a fair election?"

If it is a two party situation, then either party has the right to be uncomfortable with the situation. In America's recent history, I do not remember this being a considerable rationale.

Everyone just "moves on" while holding the offense in the back of their minds.

So you'd accept my claims of rigging, and allow me to have the victory anyway? Then what was the point of the election to begin with?

@tabzer doesn't even respond to me anymore.
I suspect I'll be added to that list soon enough.

There's no proof to any of your claims.

There you go again. I've already provided my proof and in a court of law it would be pretty sound. Your claims however seem to have not done too well for ANYONE making them. Still waiting on your evidence. All of us. Not just myself. You continue to try to sneak out of your responsibility for burden of proof. Put up or shut up, regardless of what kind of proof you want from anyone else. Regardless how many times it's already been provided to you. Most everyone else here has backed up their claims at one point or another. You still have nothing. Yet all you can do every time you're asked is "But but but but.. where's YOUR proof that it DIDN'T happen!?!?!!" Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. That's all you have and all you've ever given anyone. Guess what? Burden of proof still lies on you, not on anyone else here. So continue to point your finger, but we're still waiting.

lacius, i love you, but that is the funniest struggle quote i have seen all week

@tabzer this is the greatest gift anyone has ever given you on gbatemp
this quote belongs in your signature
He can't possibly say 'Politics is the pursuit of power' and then say that if he was a candidate and he was accused of rigging, he wouldn't meme the shit out of the people accusing him, can he?

It's an ad hominem because you are claiming something about my character and ignoring the context of the argument.
Sir, I did look into the link attached to your signature about election fraud (I probably spent much too long there, given the quality of material) . Have you...looked into these references linked in the spreadsheet? Your argument is bleak, sir.
Please don't confuse my stance to be a result of a 'partisan' bias, for my approach to US politics is impartial and equitable . My view is uninfluenced, I assure you.
Since this thread seems to have degraded into lessons of 'logical fallacies' and how to be a proper 'skeptic', I want to bring back some focus to your original argument and give you a chance to justify your claims directly,

Ok so you'd want me and my supporters to prove that rigging occured right? @tabzer


EDIT: he doesn't know how to use quotes and fucked his post up

He and others like him have been given countless opportunities to do so, but they duck out of it and resort to logic games as if they are creationists.
