I've been watching Trump lately. He's apparently getting good advice because he's greatly modulated the rigged election talk. Of course if you threw up your hands months or years ago then you wouldn't know.
Who said I threw up my hands this is the Internet form where we discussed topics my question was what has changed and why won’t it happen again if it happened before. You’ve given me absolutely no assurances which is not your fault because there are none.. I have laid out to you. What They’ve done no consequence.
So Biden's record doesn't matter. Minority support for Trump doesn't matter. Third party participation drawing Democratic votes doesn't matter. They can just switch on the rigged machine and easily cover it up. Nothing to see here. Move along.
You're saying going forward the Democrats will always win so why bother? It's all rigged. They were able to get away with it in 2020 because it was so close and the pandemic affected how people could vote. They took advantage. Tell you what...if Trump wins all the red states and Biden wins all the blue states on election day, but all the swing states get drawn out for a week like last time, and Biden wins in spite of all the things that I listed above, then I will agree it's rigged. An almost 82 year old mentally incapacitated Biden with so many things against him winning would definitely indicate a rigged election. Until then I want public debates and Republicans participating fully in the process. Elections still matter.
Not if it’s rigged, which is what you told me, you believed, third-party participation? , lol both sides participate to keep the third-party locked out of any debates. You know the ones you were saying we need to have so that people can see who these people are.I don’t think either party is about to take a chance of losing their power.
That is what you said. it was rigged stolen now you turn it around on me and act like it’s my fault when I took you at your word. I asked you what changed and why wouldn’t it happen again you haven’t given an answer because you don’t have one.
John Anderson in 1980 participated in the debates and got about 10% of the vote. Ross Perot also in 1992 and got 19%. We've had 3rd party candidates participate in the debates since then.
You asked, I answered, but you're the one saying going forward it's all rigged so why bother.
Wrong I asked you what changed you haven’t answered it’s a valid question when you told me it was stolen and rigged.
You asked me if I thought it was stolen and rigged and I replied yes. You asked me why this time would be different and I pointed out why. I honestly don't know what more I can say. But you're the one saying no point participating because it's all rigged.
Lol ok
You didn’t give any good reasons, there’s no mechanisms in place to stop it. There was no penalty if it happened the first time. You said you just hope it works this time. I’m not gonna berate you if that’s your answer I just think that’s Not very reassuring.
Sigh.....Lol ok
“The two parties accomplished this by creating the official sounding Commission on Presidential Debates in 1987. Within a year, this private nonprofit corporation had pushed the League aside and taken control of the debates”
The Locked Gates to Tension City: The Commission on Presidential Debates, the FEC, and the Two-Party System
Since John friend. Kennedy and Richard Nixon walked into a Chicago television studio for the first general election presidential debate in 1960, candidate debates have been a fundamental aspect of presidential campaigns and have had broader effects on society at large. The Commission on Presidential...repository.law.umich.edu
So don't participate.
I know, imagine that both parties creating commission to make it near impossible for a third-party to get their face out there.
Well, it’s not really about me necessarily how many people do you think are disfranchised? Do you not think that will effect the election? Wasn’t that long ago there was supposed to be a red wave and there wasn’t…… was that rigged or was that disenfranchisement? The fact that you don’t like my questions is irrelevant they are fair questions and I am an independent thinker not a yes, man for either party or candidate.
In spite of the fact that they have. The two major parties attract the big donors and it takes major money to get your face out there in a meaningful way. As with everything it's about the money.
I do agree with that
