2024 US Presidential Election

[Ivan Denisovich]

It's supposed to work on us godless commies, what gives?  Quick, back to israel.  Vote Donald to save the palestinians!  Vote Donald to end the war in ukraine!  Donald Trump...the peace candidate.

He will give us peace for our times.

[Thumpalumpacus]

OK! Everyone's patient and well-reasoned arguments have persuaded me. You win!

I believe that the US government should determine what is and is not misinformation.

I believe the US government should prosecute me if I post what they have deemed to be misinformation.

I do not believe this power could be misused.

Now I'm a good Democrat.

None of this claptrap actually addresses any objections.

No one has argued you should be prosecuted for passing misinformation. So far as I know, no one here is a government agent, so you're probably safe; and I wouldn't prosecute you, but simply call your bullshit out, which is what's actually happening -- maybe don't martyr so much?

I think we each should ourselves be aware of misinfo and alert to the possibility of being manipulated..

And for what it's worth, I'm not a Democrat, but your inclusion of that gives clear optics as to where you are yourself coming from. Mindless partisan bullshit bereft of thought and insight.

It's funny that you have such a high opinion of your own thinking but cannot cleanse your post of such obvious sloppy thinking.

Quite fascinating isnt it. A very thin veil of supposed intellectual superiority, objectivity and politeness. But it all hides a very run of the mill bullshitter with not intellectual honesty whatsoever. Pathetic. I wouldnt be surprised at all if someone would show us that he is one of those very bots he claims does not exist. Too bad we will never know.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Thump to Belacqua's Ignore List. You've met all the requirements:

-Made cogent arguments as a rebuttal to nonsense.
-Backed Bel into a corner with same.
-Used 'big people' words.
-Identified bullshit and referred to it as such.

Your official lapel pin and decoder badge are on the way!

Oh thank goodness you're safe. I thought maybe the bots had got you. They have drones now, you know.


Anyway. Harris, Walz, Clinton, and Newsom have all said they want limits on free speech. They don't want that because of Russian bots. I have no idea why you even brought those up. They want to control what Americans can say to other Americans.

EVERY sensible person wants limits on free speech, you dolt. The idiotic notion that you can say whatever you want without let, hindrance, or fear of consequences has been roundly rejected by every single culture in the history of the world.

You might want to check the laws regarding speech in Japan before you embarrass yourself further.

Bold mine.

Is that even possible?

You wouldn’t think so, but Bell-end never disappoints.

Yet another refusal to answer the points I've made. I'm left to assume that's because you cannot.

Anyway. Harris, Walz, Clinton, and Newsom have all said they want limits on free speech.

Free speech already has limits, dingbat. And duly noted is the fact that you ignored the many non-Democrats who also want to do things like, you know, throw members of the press in jail for reporting facts.

They don't want that because of Russian bots. I have no idea why you even brought those up.

Because limiting election interference is their stated goal, and that largely comes from three countries, of which Russia is the most prolific. But thanks at least for admitting your ignorance.

They want to control what Americans can say to other Americans.

I can understand why you would be very afraid of bullshit being regulated. Why, that might cut into your own schtick!

Bel always manages to raise that bar.
