@mandarinorange, you just advanced to level 3!

2020-11-20 05:24:50 UTC  

i mean hey, you already came this far to run so might as well check it out

2020-11-20 05:25:11 UTC  

let em have at it

2020-11-20 05:25:18 UTC  

I hope they really have something

2020-11-20 05:25:30 UTC  

but my confidence level is not narrowing

2020-11-20 05:25:35 UTC  

maybe we can have more faith if some things come to light or are squashed

2020-11-20 05:26:03 UTC  

previous accusations made by them and others have so far gotten squashed

2020-11-20 05:27:04 UTC  

for example, today Robert reviewed Giuliani's statements, where he made a big deal about "I went to sleep that night! And Trump was ahead! What happened!"

2020-11-20 05:27:23 UTC  

that kind of bad faith argument really ruined the rest of what he said for me

2020-11-20 05:27:41 UTC  

because I _know_ that argument is bullshit, and meant to rile people up, but only dumb people

2020-11-20 05:28:06 UTC  

(those states that flipped overnight were counting mail-in ballots last, and everyone knew that those slanted toward biden)

2020-11-20 05:28:22 UTC  

(which is how various networks called the elections for several of those states early)

2020-11-20 05:28:35 UTC  

they were all talking about it

2020-11-20 05:28:44 UTC  

they were talking about it a few _weeks_ before the election

2020-11-20 05:29:15 UTC  

so when Giuliani mixed that argument in between his Dominion accusations, what the hell am I supposed to think?

2020-11-20 05:29:16 UTC  

@realz, you just advanced to level 6!

2020-11-20 05:29:37 UTC  

just let myself be jerked around for _this_ but believe the Dominion accusations are real?

2020-11-20 05:30:02 UTC  

bad faith arguments make it hard to trust

2020-11-20 05:30:08 UTC  

that's just how life is

2020-11-20 05:30:17 UTC  

if that didn't bother you, then you are OK with being jerked around

2020-11-20 05:36:19 UTC

@realz like Arizona which they had to recall. NC had a clear winner but they refused to call it as it had a 51% for Trump at 99% rpt

2020-11-20 05:37:04 UTC  

I am not going to fight about who is calling what for whom at which times

2020-11-20 05:37:12 UTC  

because I don't know the details of every call

2020-11-20 05:37:36 UTC  

but if you followed what the big ones were saying (NYT, AP, WAPO, etc.) then the reason it flipped overnight was obvious

2020-11-20 05:38:12 UTC  

Giuliani playing dumb is textbook bad faith

2020-11-20 05:38:23 UTC  

ok well it is weird they stopped counting only in blue states early sure bc of mail in votes eh it was like stopping at 75% for most. In cali, so I was up all night. why would they stop counting at 12 pm, if they were just going start again between 3- 6 am? I mean I don't know exactly when they began but like you'd think oh since they been here all day they take an 8 hr rest and come back.. or else why didn't they just count thru the night. There wouldn't be a a lot more ballots there by morning, probably only ones they already had. sure its a bad argument to prove but why do those states stand alone

2020-11-20 05:38:58 UTC  

Giuliani wasn't talking about them stopping or starting

2020-11-20 05:39:04 UTC  

lol

2020-11-20 05:39:28 UTC  

it is a separate question; these kinds of questions always had an answer when I dug into them

2020-11-20 05:39:37 UTC  

if you really care about it, google it with the opposite confirmation bias

2020-11-20 05:39:44 UTC  

you'll find an answer

2020-11-20 05:39:57 UTC  

i dont know what you mean

2020-11-20 05:40:13 UTC  

google "why did they stop counting"

2020-11-20 05:40:22 UTC  

look through the answers as if you are a democrat

2020-11-20 05:40:33 UTC  

try to find a satisfying answer

2020-11-20 05:40:42 UTC  

I assume it was cause they were still receiving mail in ballots post marked before election day?

2020-11-20 05:40:42 UTC  

@Adam135, you just advanced to level 2!

2020-11-20 05:40:48 UTC  

at least, from what everyone is saying

2020-11-20 05:40:59 UTC  

@Adam135 it was a lot more than that

2020-11-20 05:41:08 UTC  

they just didn't get through all the mail in ballots that they already had

2020-11-20 05:41:21 UTC  

many states had some large % left over
