@Mharman
this is Exhibit B of why no one here respects you.
Most of the people here are Trumpers. They are not deserving of respect nor do I want to “make nice”with them. I’m here simply to tamp down the nonsense and expose the idiots to some reality that they won’t find on twitter, FOX News, or OAN.

The 24 hour news cycle is infamously vitriolic actually, and has done a lot of damage
I agree cable news engages in sensationalism and conservative media is vitriolic i.e. Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity et.al 

No doubt the topics I post about you are never going to see on the media you consume so it would be a bit shocking to you. Would you ever see this statement on FOX News?  — Jason Reifler, a political science professor who taught in Georgia and Illinois before joining the faculty at the University of Exeter in Britain, said Trump introduced a whole new level of lying in politics”

@SirAnonymous
He was talking about threads, not individual posts. So no, I don't.
The midterms are today. Go vote, then come here and post all your darkest fears, then watch the results come in, then cry hysterically about America's future. Ready? Here we go!

This is your thread. Did you put a lot of work into this?

Not suspicious. It was just a mistake. Some Democrats were also denied those same ballots. Don’t be such a conspiracy theory looney 
Mistake or not, it still is suspicious. At the very least, it's criminally negligent. The Sheriff did say that they were looking into the possibility of filing criminal charges. As for your accusations of conspiracy theory promotion, keep in mind that nothing I stated here is false, and that I'm not implying there is any widespread effort by Democrats to steal the elections, either. All I am saying is that I implore voters (Democrats, Republicans, and others alike) to report what they find is suspicious. It's not unheard of for pollsters to go rogue, and it can be caused by Democrats and Republicans alike.

Most of the people here are Trumpers. They are not deserving of respect nor do I want to “make nice”with them. I’m here simply to tamp down the nonsense and expose the idiots to some reality that they won’t find on twitter, FOX News, or OAN.
Then kindly fuck off from this site. These are discussion forums, not WWE Monday Night RAW. You have no place here if you are not going to respect others, despite the disagreements you may have with them.

I mean come on man. How the hell is an out of power president for 2 years considered news at this point? And not just news, but the top headlining news? How many times can you have variations on the theme of Orangemanbad before the music sounds like the droning of bees?

If Orangemanbad if your biggest newsworthy concern in your life, maybe you should get out and touch grass? Just a thought.

That’s nonsense. It’s not suspicious if they denied ballots to both Republicans and Democrats. It is in no way criminally negligent.

The Sheriff did say that they were looking into the possibility of filing criminal charges.
Sheriffs are some of the biggest kooks in elective office. Fortunately they don’t decide who gets prosecuted.

Is that what you do, respect others? People who engage in conspiracy theories need to be denied a forum to cause mischief. You are one of these. You need to leave. People who engage in conspiracy theories and spread lies and repeat nonsense deserve nothing but derision.

Are you clueless? Is Trump having political rally’s every week? Trump is the leader of the very sick Republican Party

Early results show Democrats winning everywhere. So if we go by “Trump logic” that means they should be declared the winners. Stop counting the votes! 

We won! Stop the Steal!

I saw some clips of Biden making a ton of speeches this week too, don't care about that either.

It is. The law doesn't care who was denied, it cares that you take precautions into ensuring you do such an important job correctly. In case you missed it, the sheriff stated that one of the workers knew it was wrong and continued to follow the orders.

Sheriffs are some of the biggest kooks in elective office. Fortunately they don’t decide who gets prosecuted.
Well that's a bad faith argument. As for the courts, they can decide whatever; I will almost certainly trust their ruling on this, whatever it may be. We'll see what happens.

Is that what you do, respect others?
Correct. Even those who disagree with me, like Oromagi, Whiteflame, and Barney. Just not you, because of the way you behave.

People who engage in conspiracy theories need to be denied a forum to cause mischief. You are one of these. You need to leave. People who engage in conspiracy theories and spread lies and repeat nonsense deserve nothing but derision.
As per what I said in Post #34, I am not engaging in any of the sort. Regardless, even conspiracy theorists have a right to free speech on this site. You don't like a conspiracy theory of theirs? Prove them wrong. It's pretty easy when your focus is on finding and showcasing the truth instead of scoring victories and being a dick.

Lies are not entitled to free speech. You can’t prove anything to a conspiracy theorist, because they are not rational people. I’m convinced the best way to respond to them is with ridicule and make them understand they are the village idiot.  And I am focused on the truth. You on the other hand are an alarmist, screaming  fire when there is none. Again, these people deserve nothing but derision.

And who defines what is a "lie" and what isn't? Your statement would set an easy to exploit precedent if we followed it here.

I am focused on the truth.
Then start acting like it lol.

You on the other hand are an alarmist, screaming  fire when there is none.
Again, Post #34. I explained to you why I am not being a conspiracy theorist. You ignored it and continued to stick your fingers in your ears, repeating the same thing like a child.

Again, these people deserve nothing but derision.
"Oh, no, someone disagrees with me politically! Prove them wrong? Nah, don't feel like it. Let's mock and deride them instead!"

You're not convincing anyone with that lol. All you've done is give people reasons to stick to their beliefs, and to avoid talking to you.

I’ve already come to the conclusion these people cannot be saved. They cannot be reasoned with. They need to be silenced or at least be driven underground, Like a KKK follower. They must not be allowed to go mainstream.

None of those are positions of mine lol. Nice strawmans.

And that's how we get a totalitarian government that cannot respect freedom of speech. It's a pretty anti-American and anti-human rights position, actually.

Bullshit. You are obviously suggesting something nefarious is happening. Lying by omission is still a lie. You omitted that the people denied part of the ballot were half Republican half other, and the suspended poll workers were from both parties.
I never omitted anything. CNN did in their article, and I took the extra step to find the Twitter post that contained the omitted information.

And my point was that voters should be watchful (regardless of party). I never stated that this was any one-sided plot. Don't put words into my mouth.

So you think the KKK should be allowed into the public square. Great. Perhaps we could have a crazy Public Square to put the racists, the bigots, the idiots, etc

I'm really not, I just advised voters to be careful. It's a pretty reasonable stance, actually. Don't put words into my mouth. I have no idea what you think I'm omitting here.
I disagree with your knee jerk assessment that there is anything nefarious happening other than an honest mistake
