The 2020 election cabal

[Legion]

“...a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information..” [from OP link] Things like influencing perceptions, steering media coverage[!?], controlling the flow of information are considered fair now?

Yep.

 

[Darth Omar]

Awesome. Thanks for the link:

For Trump and his allies were running their own campaign to spoil the election. The President spent months insisting that mail ballots were a Democratic plot and the election would be “rigged.” His henchmen at the state level sought to block their use, while his lawyers brought dozens of spurious suits to make it more difficult to vote–an intensification of the GOP’s legacy of suppressive tactics. Before the election, Trump plotted to block a legitimate vote count. And he spent the months following Nov. 3 trying to steal the election he’d lost–with lawsuits and conspiracy theories, pressure on state and local officials, and finally summoning his army of supporters to the Jan. 6 rally that ended in deadly violence at the Capitol.

The 1/6 violence was almost nearly as deadly as the summer of violence orchestrated by democrats to influence the election.

You should be proud, Carp.

Where are we? East Germany in the 60’s? Has it occurred to you that the cabal were treating voters like lemmings that needed herded in the right direction.

This is an outrage. Or it should be.

Oh, please.

So, voters can't think for themselves, eh?

An extraordinary double standard. I'm not outraged. Feel free to be as outraged as you'd like.

Apparently DEMOCRATS believe they can't, Barfly.

Members of the Congressional Task Force on Digital Citizenship sent a letter to the usurper proposing a road map for how his administration can confront the threat of disinformation and misinformation and work to counter the danger they pose to our democracy.

Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD) co-signed the letter, which was led by U.S. Representatives Jennifer Wexton (D-VA), Don Beyer (D-VA), and David Cicilline (D-RI).

The letter was also signed by Representatives Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Bill Foster (D-IL), Bill Keating (D-MA), Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), and Elissa Slotkin (D-MI).

In the letter, the Members recognize that, while a growing number of people in the U.S. are getting their news from social media platforms, many Americans are ill-equipped to recognize and sift through false, misleading, or emotionally manipulative posts.

Additionally, there exists a lack of effective information gatekeepers to protect against disinformation threats online. The Members cite the COVID-19 “infodemic” and warn if robust systems are not put in place, there is a continued danger of rampant disinformation and misinformation, which has the potential to cultivate a rise in extremism and leave the U.S. vulnerable to exploitation by foreign adversaries.

The Members proposed the following initiatives that they hope will be included in the President-elect’s strategy to confront disinformation and misinformation:

Creating a new multiagency Digital Democracy Task Force to develop a strategy focused on building greater national resilience to online threats and equipping federal agencies with the tools to communicate during disinformation events;


Addressing the rise of “news deserts” across the country by supporting media literacy programs and investing in quality public broadcasting;

• Dedicating resources and attention to programs that counter the growing threat of online extremism, including through engaging civil society organizations;
• Collaborating with global allies, sharing information, perspectives, and solutions to combat disinformation threats.

“Disinformation and misinformation will continue to evolve and our job as policy makers is to keep up, while also looking ahead at building a more resilient society,” the Members wrote.

“The United States has fallen behind global allies in understanding and working to combat disinformation and misinformation, and foreign adversaries have identified it as a point of weakness for our nation. We encourage you to work with researchers, scholars, and civil society to understand the impact of disinformation and misinformation on American society and we stand ready to assist you in putting forward these new initiatives.”

In April 2020, the Members launched the Congressional Task Force on Digital Citizenship to assemble experts, stakeholders, and leaders in an effort to advance policies that promote the responsible use of technology and equip Americans with tools to be resilient against online threats and falsehoods.

They are proud. That's why Molly Ball named names.

Opie, why would I be proud, son?

Well again, your problem is with the liberal Time writer lol.

She all but came out and said Biden wouldn’t have won without the ‘help’ of the cabal. It’s her claim and not mine.

IOW, in a truly fair election Trump would be president. If both ran traditional campaigns without the ‘machinations’ Trump would have won.

She also implied [strongly] that it was more about saving democracy than anything else. Apparently, irony escapes her.

Though granted, she is a liberal and that comes with the territory. Lefties are seemingly immune to irony.

You’re a fucking illiterate. No IOW, moron.

 

[Legion]

Remember when DEMOCRATS claimed elections had been stolen?

the American people were cheated by trump and putin

You want to presume, in the face of strong evidence to the contrary, that the Russians didn't help slump win for the obvious reason, that if it came to light that they did, it would completely delegitimize him and throw egg on the faces of all those who were duped into voting for a tool of the Kremlin to run our country. And how embarrassing that would be for you. No wonder you want it all swept under the rug.

Bush was selected not elected. hmmm.

Gore won the election. Bush won the SC case. Gore was elected. Bush was selected.

How many ballots were thrown out for technicalities, even though it was evident who the vote was for?

 

[domer76]

You lie, DEMOCRAT.




Loser.

Yeah, you were that idiot that thought Vietnam had to be in America for it to be an American crisis. You still do, I see.

Still stands as one of the massively stupidest claims ever.

An outrage to combat the Trump lie machine? That Podhorzer is an American hero.

I'm not the one who claimed that Puerto Rico sent "Americans" to "Vietnam", an "emergency in the USA", DEMOCRAT.

But you did.

Why is FEMA working in Puerto Rico? What does Puerto Rico send or contribute to emergencies in the USA

Americans, bitch.

Puerto Rico sends or contributes "Americans" to emergencies in the USA?

They ARE Americans, bitch. 48,000 served in Vietnam. Was that "emergency" enough for you, bitch?

I didn't say they aren't. In response to this question,

What does Puerto Rico send or contribute to emergencies in the USA

You said this:

Americans, bitch.

Now you're claiming that Vietnam is an emergency in the USA?

​

Maybe you don't know what IN the USA means.

Loser.

you stupid fuck,
Trump is one man, a cabal is series of institutions that control various aspects of society and politics
Trump is gone. the cabal is just getting started..you have zero sense of scale much less reality

He wanted you to know what he did, DEMOCRAT.

 

[dukkha]

They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it.

nice term..like fortified Frosted Flakes for breakfast. get you where you want to go...
they did the dirty work of the Dems while Biden hid in the basement

 

[dukkha]

That article is about half a step short of that lol.

I’m surprised it’s not getting more attention.

Truth can speak to power (the "cabal" ) but power doesn't usually listen

 

[dukkha]

Ok, Molly Ball is a liberal reporter who writes for Time Magazine lol.

I agree, it reads like something out of Breitbart. Like I said, it’s brazen.

I wonder how long till she gets canceled?
Maybe this is their nod to an opposition opinion. publish it, ignore it and then say:
"we already went over that-why are you still whining?"

Why would they "cancel" her if they understood what she wrote?

 

[dukkha]

I see they want it that way. I hope there are still enough Americans around to not let that happen.

they are lulled to sleep by Sleepy Joe..

 

[dukkha]

Why would they "cancel" her if they understood what she wrote?

"the nail that sticks up gets hammered down" -
but maybe they wont -leave it up as an example of their "tolerance" while completely fucking ignore it

Maybe they needed to destroy democracy in order to save it.
