US President Joe Biden has said he is not confident there will be a peaceful transition of power if Donald Trump loses the presidential election in November.
"[Trump] means what he says, we don’t take him seriously. He means it, all this stuff about ‘if we lose it will be a bloodbath’.”
Mr Trump’s comment that it would “be a bloodbath for the country” if he loses the election, made as he was talking about the auto industry in March, triggered a wave of criticism.
The Trump campaign, however, said the comment was specifically about the auto industry and had been deliberately taken out of context. It sent a fundraising email which said Trump’s political opponents and others had been “viciously” misquoting him.
You’re going for the full 30 standard logical fallacies, I understand the desire to be a completionist. The way you solve bigger fish is by getting candidates that will make those changes. You’re not going to get that with First Past the Post Voting.
I’m not doing any of this for you. It’s proven that providing facts for people who disagree with you, ESPECIALLY those that tie their ego into being “right” in a discussion or argument, does not work. https://www.inc.com/james-sudakow/why-you-will-fail-to-persuade-people-90-of-the-time-if-you-only-use-logic.html/
You literally don’t know what you don’t know. You might be interested in what’s commonly called the Dunning Kruger Effect. Here, this might help you understand that you don’t understand. https://nesslabs.com/dunning-kruger-effect
I’m just putting together a long long long chain of responses to you, treating you much like an interactive prompt; to better form my argument and research what I’m saying. I literally do not care what you think about American Politics. You’re not able to effect any direct change. However, your confused and muddled view could be damaging to someone else. I’d like to avoid that if at all possible. Again, the only way America can get to RCV is if the momentum that started in 2020 continues and more states adopt it, so that there can be more call to implement it. And maybe, just maybe this fucking country I’ve lived in and fought for can finally start moving towards the 20th century and turn away from this path that’s dragging us closer to tech bro feudalism. https://www.wired.com/story/yanis-varoufakis-technofeudalism-interview/
You are more than welcome to refute my points and continue this discussion. It’s been really cathartic for me.
I’m just happy I exposed you to some things you previously weren’t aware of. I doubt you’ve read manufacturing consent, or looked at the broader sources I sent you. And happily got you to read at least one article about RCV in the US. I don’t care about being right, but I do care about sharing information and making sure that people can form and defend their own opinions.
I hope things get better, just like you do. We don’t agree on how it’ll get done. But the more defensive you get, the more fun it is to poke you. I’m sorry for that. But I’m also happy that you’ve been exposed to a couple radical opinions, and a different point of view.
Yes I think we can all tell you’re practically masturbating over the scarecrow you’ve build out in the yard.
You can go read all the math in the world and perfectly construct your perfectly composed model of everything. Get back to me when you’ve worked out the kinks. You know why we killed all those boys in Vietnam? Because some genius like the self-described here brought a bunch of equations and used them to murder thousands of people. I fucking agree with your assessment of how ranked choice voting works. But I do not agree with your assertion that any form of voting system will have an effect before lobbying is illegal.
Are you the straw man? Keep going, I’m almost finished.
Oh I almost forgot, How oh How wise one who needs details to be happy, How will we get rid of Lobbying without the candidates to do it?
I know, take your time. I can see that cogent thought can be difficult for you. Long Covid maybe?
Also, you shouldn’t quote the Dunning Kruger effect, its literally based on faulty math, a hilariously ironic twist of fate. Youre literally the poster child, just posting link after link
Hmmmmm I think you might have some more trouble with comprehension.
