> Actually what we are seeing now is the democratization of free speech so that an oligarchic elite is no longer the only group who is able to make their voice heard.

Exactly who do you think the major donors to the Trump campaign and the Republican Party are?

Do you actually believe these election-fraud lies were spontaneous, as opposed to something people were whipped into believing by a propaganda campaign funded by the wealthy?

Money in politics is a problem for both parties, not just Republicans, but, your argument is bullshit.




Thanks for the reply. Do you honestly think this is the best way to reach mutual understanding? I'm not even sure what you're disagreeing with.


I am disagreeing with bullshit and my goal here isn’t mutual understanding but to call out bullshit for what it is.

Case in point:

Do you yourself believe Joe Biden won the election, and that there was not any meaningful “election fraud” or whatever? Yes or no.

Anything other than a yes-or-no answer to my question is bullshit.


> Do you yourself believe Joe Biden won the election

I refuse to answer on the principle that I don't submit to religious tests. You can call this bullshit if you like, you've said you're not here for mutual understanding and so I understand that you're not interested in my point of view.

> there was not any meaningful “election fraud” or whatever?

Of course there was meaningful election fraud. Any fraud is meaningful because it challenges the idea that free and fair elections are possible.

> Anything other than a yes-or-no answer to my question is bullshit.

Those were two questions, a yes-or-no answer wouldn't have even explained which one I was answering.
