Now that they rigged Pratt out who wins?

So you made up your own definition of socialism? Would certainly explain the Draconian nature of the interpretation
I applied knowledge and experience to come up with a definition, wrote it in my normal witticisms and enjoyed myself. I made sure that it tracks, it defines it well and is capable of demonstrably explaining the actions of socialists on the site. It's been demonstrated to be both accurate and stable so far in real world (site) exchanges.

If your only objection is that someone you almost know wrote the definition and it made your feels hurt, well then it continues to be demonstrably accurate, and, you've done nothing at all but simply say things that change nothing in context.

TL/DR version:

Someone asked me what a Socialist was, I provided a definition that has proven to be accurate though witty and sarcastic.
 
democratic socialists
Depends upon their views, keep in mind, most of these candidates are local, and local elections are about local issues and not ideology

Does the Democratic Party’s rising democratic socialist wing bother me, no, Bernie never annoyed me, they are not the Tolstoyans the right portrays them as

LOL. You forgot to put "yet" in there. It is the ultimate goal, will always be the ultimate goal, and it will always be couched in the terms that I stated they would be couched in within my definition. I even specifically mentioned adding "democratic" and what it does.

It is notable that you are now demonstrating what I labeled as "Infallible Tribal Apologetics"...

Doubtful, you wouldn’t have quoted greed if it was your own definition, you may have edited, but obvious you copied and pasted it off another site.

LOL. I'm sorry you got your feels hurt. If you think I copied and pasted it, find it. Both you and I know you never will, we both know that because this is where it originated, I am the author. Your attempt to deceive others doesn't change the relevance of the definition and how it applies to your post.

Everyone here knows I've been stating that Socialism is a religion for years now. I guarantee you can find posts as recently as last week where I have done so. I believe it is. It takes FAITH to believe in something that fails before our eyes so consistently. I have been taking time to write that definition for just such an occasion. I almost posted it as a thread starter rather than inside a thread... but I will wait until I flesh it out further before I do that...
 
You're still making things up
Deflection, pointing out a possibility is not "making things up".

"making things up" is like saying that "only 35 ballots were questionable" in an audit and not giving a shit if a source can be found for that.

Ok, so we're just going to ignore the fact that you are so uninformed and have so little intellectual curiosity that you actually thought there were only three candidates.
I will ignore your petty red herring beyond pointing out the fact that it is a red herring yes.

There is no technical or logical reason for data updates to be limited to any particular candidate even if there were a thousand.

As the article blurb noted, and Trump's Justice department confirmed, it was a glitch.

Normally all updates go at once.
Oh, so it just happened the one time huh?

No wonder it stood out, and for good reason. Those mysterious computers *shrug* who can tell what goes on in them. Please return to your scheduled slavery citizens, nothing to see here.


Sure, why not.
That's the question.


You don't trust anything because you're a conspiracy theorist
I don't even think I need to deny that anymore. Too many conspiracies confirmed. The question isn't whether someone is a conspiracy theorist, it's whose analysis is better.

An example of a downright absurd analysis is the alleged conspiracy that Trump tried to cheat an election by paying off stormy daniels but forgot to buy bookkeeping software that had "scandal bribe money" in a dropdown menu.


who, even if every state got rid of all mail-in voting and required a government issued ID, would still distrust election results in blue states.
Maybe, there a million ways to have a vulnerable election just like there are a million ways to have a fraudulent financial exchange system. They need to be designed carefully to be invulnerable to fraud to such an extent that ordinary rational citizens don't have serious doubts.

Honest rational people have known that since 400BC.


Nope. As the blurb noted, the first vote was counted and the second wasn't.
Even if that was true, she made a public post about it before the 2nd election. A fact in contradiction with your statement.


Nothing.... really nothing....will sway your beliefs.
You can't know that till you try a strong argument.


Right...again...you will accept ANY source that tells you what you want to believe, including some random person on Twitter questioning a drugged up homeless person.
You'll dismiss any source that tells you what you don't want to believe.

A analyze all claims, and what I know for certain because of the motivations and dynamics of the situation that IF someone could pay homeless people for ballots, and they would themselves get paid per ballot, they WOULD absolutely do so en masse.

If they did so en masse, the evidence that would present to the public would be videos and stories just like this.

I have already established the intentional blindness of left-tribe leadership in terms of election integrity.

The question then isn't "how do I prove this happened" it's "what could possibly have prevented it?"

Nothing. That's why I believe it.

You call that "want to believe" but it's "have to believe" to be consistent with all other facts. Reality is consistent, and I absolutely reject propositions that don't fit. It's called rationality, try it sometime.
 
Doubtful, you wouldn’t have quoted greed if it was your own definition, you may have edited, but obvious you copied and pasted it off another site.
Not obvious to me, and I think it's an excellent working definition.

A definition based on observable facts about self-described socialists rather than what they claim about themselves. It happens in academia all the time.

It's like defining the KKK as "a racist paramilitary terrorist organization which holds that a white race is superior to others and most of society's ills are due to the negative influences of non-whites"

That's not the definition they would give for themselves, but it doesn't mean it's not accurate. People who call themselves socialist can't agree on a definition because magic nonsense doesn't follow logical rules.
 
LOL. I'm sorry you got your feels hurt. If you think I copied and pasted it, find it. Both you and I know you never will, we both know that because this is where it originated, I am the author.

“Find it,” funny, how could I, I have don’t access to all the right wing sources you do

If socialism “fails”how is it that so many of those European nations not only thrive but most have higher standards of living than the US?
 
Because they've largely abandoned Socialism in favor of open markets.
A lot of grass is greener fallacy. I would argue that the best things about Europe have nothing to do with government services and things would be even better without the high taxes.


Also, nobody holds a candle to the corruption and waste of the US government.

Because when it fails they usually open their markets. It's also important to note they spend almost nothing on defense as they rely on the US for their defense.

Now those European nations with higher standards of living achieved such by closing their markets?

And what the hell does defense have to do with socialism?

They achieved failure by overregulating, keep up. They achieved success by opening their markets. And defense has a ton to do with it. They spend the money they would need for defense on things like "free healthcare"... we subsidize their forays into what you call "successful" socialism.

Oh, that second isn't true. In Europe, in many countries, tax cheating among other things is a national pasttime.

Does the Democratic Party’s rising democratic socialist wing bother me, no, Bernie never annoyed me, they are not the Tolstoyans the right portrays them as
Fair enough.

Separate Bernie question. You seem old school in the liking of the political parties and their power. What were your thoughts on Bernie taking on the DNC as an outsider? Good for the party or helped to weaken it?
 
Could you define "tax cheating"?
