Patriots & Americans..watch 2000Mules.com virtually Sat @8pm

to see just one way DEMs turned election their way and of the possible 26,000,000 votes thought stolen this pick-up box stuffing scheme may account up to 4,000,000 of those illegal votes.
Note that Trump only lost by 50,000 votes in 4-5 important key states, 13,000 of those in Ga.
Go to 2000Mules.com asap..click onto the virtual showing site..register & pay $20..and at 8pm Sat night from comfort of your home be ready to have your eyeballs bug out when seeing the planned & orchestrated corruption captured by on-site surveillance video..
with one mule being shown stuffing ballot boxes across 6 counties in one night which was verified by cell phone tracking & videos at those sites. Oh, many of the mules wore gloves and masks.
Atlanta alone had over 242 mules working the boxes with 5,668 late hour ballot box stuffings and just this week Georgia announced subpoenas being issued to bring these cheaters in since many have been identified thru their cell phone usage and/or video footage.
Oh, the two nights of theatre showings across the country (on May 2nd & 4th) were sold out for the most part..and after watching it's been reported viewers just remained in their seats, Stunned.
Go AMERICA, Wake uP!

How many who voted for Trump, voted first for Trump in the Midwest, and then voted for Trump when they came to their winter houses in Florida in late October?
With no national voting database, we'll never know.

what a time to be alive
May 5, 2022, 10:10 AM

maybe I'm an outlier here, but I vehemently believe that our elections in the past...idk....100 years have been rigged. I came to this conclusion around 2008.
Politicians in this country are not elected by the people, they're selected by the people writing the checks.
From a sociological perspective (title of the post) - this such an intriguing, widespread display of blatant hypocrisy and/or cognitive dissonance.
For instance, the people in this very thread with the position of casting people as "believers", or "looney bins" with respect to this election were, just a mere 2 - 3 years ago, holding the exact same position of those whom they now mock.
We're having this sociological problem across nearly every "issue" that is coming across our social media feeds and/or the talking box. This phenomenon is happening to the extent that I'm truly starting to question the authenticity of people's positions. I'm starting to lean towards the idea that these people's positions are planted and then violently exacerbated by the various algorithms controlling us to yield the current dysfunctional society we're in.
It'd be one thing if people came out and said, You know what? We were given bad intel (intentionally) on the last belief that this guy was put in power by a nefarious foreign/domestic asset. We were wrong. We took measures to remedy that to ensure this was legit...yada, yada, yada.
That'll never happen. So instead we're stuck in an infinite For loop of people just screaming at each other over the same god #### thing without realizing that we're all being played.
Same people bitching about oil companies profits haven't said a peep on the Pfizer earnings print yesterday.
Same people protesting right now for my body, my choice wanted those, like myself, who refused a vaccine to be unable to work, go to stores, get on planes, etc. etc. (I know a few of these personally).
Same people who said no more wars are putting magnets on their cars saying they support Ukraine, and not giving a #### that we're sending $33B to the Ukrainians to fight Big Red.
Just amazing.
I don't know if it'd help or hurt people to come to the realization that the political environment in this country is just a stage where puppets dance around to appease the masses.

Recent example I experienced----Good buddy is a moderate lib with a deep-end lib wife. He asked me for advice yesterday on a new electric car for her. Before I could answer, he said "Don't say Tesla....she hates Tesla".
I know for a fact that this lady would have worn Tesla ownership on her sleeve as a badge of early-adopter environmental stewardship before the Twitter purchase. Now she hates them for a purchase that the ink hasn't even dried on, much less put into motion any actions that are disdain-worthy.

I believe local elections may have been rigged in the past on a much smaller scale, but don't believe ANY national elections in modern times have ever been rigged.
I won't ever believe until some of the riggers come forward. There must be thousands of these poor souls still staying silent.

And the primaries are rigged too. And to be clear, rigged is a term with a broad meaning in this instance, but when we keep getting the same stuffed shirt, narcissistic Ivy-league never-worked-a-day-in-their-life retreads to choose from on a national scale, the system is in some way rigged.
In a country of 330M, for us to end up with Trump and Hillary and Trump and Biden as the best two choices to lead us, you can't look at that and say it's not rigged.

happened by accident. At this point it's broken by design, which requires manipulation to achieve, which suggests rigging to me.
A truly excellent, selfless human being, untainted by greed with pure motivations and natural leadership ability from a middle class (or lower) background has a zero point zero chance of getting through a primary, if they even get to it. Rigged.

It's well past "supporting" and well into "purchasing" at this point. A person with true integrity would refuse to play ball with said entities, thereby depriving themself from that largesse, ultimately dooming them to failure from lack of needed exposure to the public.

You're still being myopic about at what point I'm saying
May 5, 2022, 11:28 AM

the rigging occurs.
I am not saying that if you press the button by a candidate's name on the ballot, it's directed elsewhere or deleted. I am saying that by the time it gets to whom you are examining on the ballot, the rigging has already occurred.
When I say that the rigging occurs by the system giving publicity/name recognition and massive funding to certain favorable candidates, that claim is not nullified by an outlier candidate who already had their own massive publicity and funding.

You're still a relatively young man, and I consider you a highly moral individual with exceptional judgement.
If you were so inclined to make it to the Presidency or Congress for all the right reasons, I can say with certainty that there isn't a single path available to you to get there without seriously compromising your integrity along the way.
Note that I'm not promoting the old "anyone can be president" wives' tale. What I am saying is that the system is such (rigged) in a way that the true best of us will never get on that ballot.

with the bath water. I would not say it's impossible. I'd say it's unlikely in our current climate. But in the end, I think it's unlikely because voters will not vote for me. Maybe someone has "wrongly" convinced them that a different candidate, who has less integrity, deserves their vote. But I still will lose because they don't vote for me.
I wouldn't say the playing field is level, not by a long shot. But you know, I'll still take this system over any other out there I can think of. The people, though gullible they may be, still decide.
I'm sure there's some reason why my simplistic view is stupid, but it sure seems like a lot of these ills could be helped if we had serious campaign finance limitations. Like no one can donate more than $1000, or something like that. I guess it's a First Amendment violation. But man, I think it would help us get better candidates forward.

McCain and Obama were far from selfless.
I really think that a combination of term limits (for Congress) and finance laws basically preventing high-level public service from becoming an automatic pathway to wealth would serve to weed out a ton of the megalomaniacs and sociopaths before they ever even thought of running in the first place.

Despite the manipulation, the voter can choose to ignore it and vote how he or she sees fit.
The manipulation is sinister, but the integrity of our elections is sound as long as the voter has agency, is allowed to vote, and that their vote is counted correctly.

What's rigged isn't the vote, it's rigged regarding whom the voter ultimately gets to vote for. If your choices are artificially limited by the system, then it doesn't matter as much whether your vote gets applied correctly.

I do think write-in options should be universal
May 5, 2022, 11:13 AM
|
|
So anyone can vote for whomever they want. For some reason, I was not able to write in a name for President in November 2020. But I did have the ability to vote for a slew of Republican candidates in the primary. I don't remember if there was a write-in option there. In the end, me not being able to vote for a candidate I liked for President did not mean the election was rigged...it meant that not enough of the citizenry agreed with my opinion to make it onto the ballot. But I had the ability to influence that in the primary. It just wasn't enough.
I would not go so far as to call a lack of write-in option as "rigged," though. To my observation, there always seems to be a wide range of candidates available in the primary, so I don't really see voters being limited very much there.

Let's drill down into your definition of rigged then
May 5, 2022, 11:10 AM
[ in reply to I would say voters are easily manipulated into thinking ] |
|
Seems to be a trigger word...let me say this back to you to ensure we're on the same page.
If you, as a third party affiliate, can manipulate a significant % of the citizens to vote a certain way (i.e. Fox News, Facebook, Google, Exxon Mobil, Pfizer), then in this scenario, this definition says that's not rigged. So what is it? Widespread manipulation funded by private interests? And we're cool with that? And we're saying this is a democracy?
What?
In your scenario, who is determining who gets the nod for the manipulation and who doesn't? Are you under the impression that it's you, Joe Blow American going to the ballot box?
If the outcome is swayed or influenced in a particular fashion by anyone other than the voters, to the extent that the outcome is predetermined (primaries), how is that not rigged?
So the Trump Election wasn't "rigged" because Russian cyber-warfare manipulated people to voting? Is that the piece I've been missing this whole time??
Definition of rig, according to Merriam Webster:
"manipulated or controlled by deceptive or dishonest means"
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rigged Definition of RIGGED The meaning of RIGGED is manipulated or controlled by deceptive or dishonest means. How to use rigged in a sentence.

Because I'm attempting to defend something specific: the integrity of our elections. I trust that when I vote, it will be counted and reported correctly. That's what I'm trying to defend.
I feel like I am able to control whether or not I'm manipulated by the forces to which you refer. In fact, I feel like I'm personally successful in dodging that manipulation.

Mocking my opinion with absolutism

that zero national elections in modern times have ever been rigged with ties to WWE, NBA, ACC / Clemson (what?) is extremely comical.
Sounds to me like you don't really understand the current environment that you live in. I'll give you a little bless your heart and let you keep on keepin' on my man. I think you got a couple decades on me, so thanks for this #### show and enjoy the ride out.
The notion that you think it would take 1,000 people to sway an election, in this day and age, shows you're a little out of your depth.
And this obviously goes on both sides of this equation, not singling out any color soldier other than the system.

Edward Griffin was my first clue.
Questions:
1. Do you think Russian collusion played a part in swaying the 2016 election?
2. Do you think cheating by Democrats played in part in swaying the 2020 election?
I think neither occurred to the point of swaying an election.
If you feel every election is rigged, how about some hard data? Instead of dancing around the issue, how about some truth or facts?
I give you credit. You're a great writer, but feel you're missing a lot in substance and factual data.

populace is being manipulated through social and legacy media is the key missing piece here, man. And misunderstanding might be the incorrect word...I think ignorance is more applicable, truth be told.
To answer your questions:
1 - I don't know. I think they tried, for sure.
2 - I don't know. I think they tried, for sure.
It should be noted that neither of those questions affect my opinion. You're looking at very isolated incidents to a macro-level, systemic issue.
Here's a research paper written in 2015 uncovering the capacity of search engine providers to manipulate search results:
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1419828112
Here's a research paper written in 2016 discussing the Search Engine Suggestion Effect (go to google, type in Donald Trump...see what is suggested)
https://aibrt.org/downloads/EPSTEIN_MOHR_&_MARTINEZ_2018-WPA-The_Search_Suggestion_Effect-SSE-WP-17-03.pdf
Pretty famous paper written in 2006 on the Fox News affect:
https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w12169/w12169.pdf
I'm definitely out of my swim lane here, but there is undeniable proof that the social and legacy media firms have the understanding of human psychology and have leveraged that understanding to magnify the flaws in order to generate more revenue for their respective firms^. It just so happens that in doing so, they built the capacity to sway the populace in a manner that can affect the outcome of elections. When these entities are owned by a very small subset of the population (conservatives estimate, 2 dozen people?), that creates a problem as these stake holders are not held accountable by the people. The consolidation of local legacy media entities has exacerbated this issue.
^Tristan Harris did a piece with 60 Minutes in 2017 covering this...I think this link covers it:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/brain-hacking-tech-insiders-60-minutes/
His group is doing a lot of interesting work in this broader, psychological impact area of this conversation:
https://www.humanetech.com/who-we-are.png) Who We Are Our journey began in 2013 when Tristan Harris sparked a global humane technology movement known as Time Well Spent. Learn more about our work and our team.
I don't have a fondness for that author. The question asked, was what book made me go what the ####. Stop it. You've tried this association ######## before man, c'mon.
And once again, you're off base. I'm a horrible writer. I'm a ####### engineer. I operate under data analysis first paradigm. In looking at our society from a macro perspective, you're of the opinion that the rapid acceleration of open hostilities, polarization, etc. is purely organic?

threadjack by you above considering what the original post was about. Sure people are swayed and influenced by social media and media in general. I just think it's huge leap from that to calling our elections rigged or even close to it, and sure in our society there are thousands of people, advertising agencies, radio, TV, internet companies who are trying to sway elections. It's just that elections ain't a foregone conclusion.
Two examples are Trump winning in the nomination in 2016 over favorites Rubio, Jeb Bush, and Cruz. Obama winning the nomination in 2008 when Hillary was the huge favorite.

By rigged, do you mean:
(A) Systemic cheating in the election (i.e., outside of the realm of those who supervise the election)?
-or-
(B) Do you mean that the gov't and its election workers have fixed the system to assure their preferred outcome?

He got into the fray with already-established name recognition......a ton of people liked that he came from outside the machine.
Unfortunately he also was a giant turd of a human being, but to your point, I suppose we can add "massive celebrity status" as a means to enter the game from outside the normal channels. Still doesn't help Jerry, the CPA from Wichita with incredible ideas and leadership skills galore.

But if it takes a wealthy, narcissistic, greedy guy with pre-existing celebrity status to hack the system, I'm missing how it nullifies my point that an excellent candidate from an average background in this country can make it through the gauntlet run normally required to get to that seat, ethically and morally unscathed and free from political obligation to those who got them there.

So let's do some quick election math on this.
May 5, 2022, 11:07 AM
|
|
$20 X ______ Number of old people who don't know any better
+
$20 X ______ Number of conspiracy theorists who believe something must be true because the MSM says it isn't
=
Millions of dollars in the pocket of grifter Dinesh D'souza, the latest iteration of a long line of grifters in the past 16 months who have bilked people who should know better out of hard-earned money because they really, really want to believe The Big Lie, invented and propagated by a narcissist who can't swallow the truth of losing to a candidate as useless as Joe Biden.

So, again, I brought this up last time and no one seemed to have noticed, but Dinesh did get a perfect score on rottentomatoes.com on his last movie: Death of a Nation. If he remains consistent, it's definitely a mark to be proud of!
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/death_of_a_nation Death of a Nation Through historical re-creations and a searching examination of fascism and white supremacy, filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza exposes hidden history and truths.

Your post implies that the election was stolen by the dems in 2020, and some have taken your word rigged and twisted it to mean the whole system because career politicians keep getting elected aided by PACs, big money, and party insiders.
Two very different things.
