  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Confabulation.
Kind of odd. If someone can't help lying, can you say that it's intentional? If you eat something bad and throw up then you can't be blamed for that. So when Trump says something which is obviously a lie, is it a form of Tourettes?

I tend to read my posts before I hit 'Post reply' checking my grammar. And oops, silly me, I'd actually written 'So if Trump says something which is obviously a lie...'

They're using words interchangeably that don't mean the same thing (if "stolen" and "rigged" are the exact words Patel & Co are using)

"Stolen" and "Rigged" mean two different things.

"Stolen" implies that someone went in, in the middle of the night, and change/threw away/added votes illegally, "Rigged" would mean the rules were changed in advance in ways that they knew would favor the other side.

I've yet to see any evidence to support the former, and while I'm a little more sympathetic to concerns about the latter (due to the fact that it's laughable to suggest that ID-free, universal mail-in voting is more secure than in-person voting as many outlets tried to suggest), even on that one, there was ample polling ahead of time that showed that the odds weren't in Trump's favor.

My gut feeling is that while the universal id-free mail-in system helped Democrats pad their victory, they would have had the victory regardless even if there'd been an in-person voting requirement.
