Election question ...

May 19, 2023, 7:10 PM

1. Is there anybody in here that believes that since a particular candidate is so evil and so corrupt, that rigging the election so they would not be elected is totally justifiable?

2. Is it justifiable to limit or deny a particular candidate a platform, or media access, based on the belief that they are evil or corrupt?

2. Yes. Nobody has a right to media coverage.

The only way I'd be "Yes" for #1 is if it was done by the

political party, through a legal rule change, as ultimately it is the Party to select their candidate. But I don't think that is what you meant in your original question.

(*-1). Is it justifiable for a political party to coordinate with a privately owned media outlet / media platform to deny a political candidate access to that outlet / platform?

(*-2). Same as question (*-1), except substitute ‘publicly owned’ for ‘privately owned.’

Both evil and corrupt.

My point is, who determines what people are evil and corrupt?

1) No. This is why voting rights are so important.
2) who is doing the denying? Nobody is under any obligation to platform someone just because they're running for office, see Tiger King.

I'll give you the serious answer you don't deserve due to your childishness:

1. No. Democracy must prevail.

2. No. Who defines that evil? We see idiots on this board (oh, yeah, kinda you, too) who call things "evil" just because they don't agree with it.

3. You suck at math.
