You clearly didn't watch the video (how could you within 1 minute). It references the guy who wrote the first open letter.

"It references the guy who wrote the first open letter."

did you watch the video?

her conclusion is, "that guy was right before, the Republicans did steal the election in 2000, but maybe he isn't correct this time?"

maybe. let's do the recounts and see if those votes are there.

I think it makes sense to listen to the guy who was right about the Republicans stealing the election last time since we have evidence that they tried to steal the election 4 years ago, like straight up admitted by the electors who committed fraud.

your video supports my point.

her conclusion is, "that guy was right before, the Republicans did steal the election in 2000, but maybe he isn't correct this time?"

lol, nope. Not what she said in the video. That guy didn't complain in 2000. He did so in 2004, though.

You didn't watch it.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 week ago

also, the first open letter was written by eight different computer scientists who are not the guy you're trying to nitpick about.

Stop making things up.

I've seen that defeatist video several times.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Rebecca Watson right-wing? 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, sure you did. /s

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

" Rebecca Watson right-wing"

Why do you think she's right-wing?

"Yeah, sure you did"

Just because you don't care about the facts doesn't mean nobody else does.

enjoy your nitpicking.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You claimed she was right wing and then edited your comment. What the fuck are you trying to pull off here.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

sorry I edited a comment before you replied to it.

you could have actually made a point.

must be rough.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah. and then you acted as if you never called her right-wing.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

you're just going to keep making things up?

super convincing.

no wonder you don't like numbers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So you don't even admit that you called her right wing?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

nope, sorry you're making that up too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

What did you edit your comment for, then. You called her right wing twice and then edited it to say first "lying", then "defeatist".

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

you are making things up.

then you accuse me of lying by not agreeing with your fantasies.

besides, despite agreeing with me on all three points , If she's defeatist enough to support Trump winning this election despite admitting the evidence is they're supporting a recount, she's right-wing enough for me.

you are too, just like everybody else supporting Trump.

bye.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You are quite a good example of a blueAnon user. Have fun in your fantasy world where everyone but you is stupid and right wing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The very fact that you use the word blueanon unironically one presented with concrete facts is kind of tipping your hand.

but keep riding on your unicorns or whatever, I really don't mind if you tell yourself stories to feel better.

i know some people feel like they need those stories

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

concrete facts

lol

I've never necountered the term before. But your delusional, lying style is exactly how I would picture democrat simps who drink a Qanon style kool-aid

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

you literally don't believe in the fake electors game?

none of the convictions, none of the affidavits, none of the courtroom admissions reported on are real to you?

you just live in this fantasy world where only the things you've heard of before from YouTube videos exist?

I mean it checks out, but...you must have a rough life If you have to make that many things up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Edit your comment. I don't understand squat.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

no, that one looks good.

edit: forgot a comma

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

*courtroom admissions

okay, that one was pretty bad.

sorry, I've got like three other people who have never heard of the fake elector's plot talking to me at the same time as you are, so I have to basically explain it over and over to you guys.

and then you're like yeah. but what about conspiracies not being real?

haha, nope, there are groups of people that do things together.

happens all the time.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

sorry, I've got like three other people who

Then that's on you. Don't multitask that much if you'd like to be taken seriously.

sorry, I've got like three other people who have never heard of the fake elector's plot talking to me at the same time as you are, so I have to basically explain it over and over to you guys.

As I've already pointed out. I know of that shit and I don't think it's plausible that it would have worked this year if it was already public and didn't work 4 years ago. Also: I don't care. I'm not an electoralist. Stop wasting your time with elections.

haha, nope, there are groups of people that do things together.

Yup. Guess what: the conspiracyis that electoralism alone will lead to progressive change.

I'll take my own advice and not waste any more time with your stupid conspiracy theories of your useless elections. I'd suggest you'd do the same, sugarplum.

Next rude comment will result in a permanent block.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

you can go read the other three people, they literally agreed with me.

you're the only one pretending that the fake electors scheme didn't happen and that manipulating voting software is impossible if you have the voting software for 3 years.

"I don't think it's plausible "

you didn't even understand how software manipulation worked until I explained it to you in ice cream.

I'm going to believe all of the computer scientists brave enough to write an open letter saying that software based voting manipulation is plausible.

"I'll take my own advice and not waste any more time"

I remember you telling me you weren't going to talk to me anymore a dozen comments back.

"stupid conspiracy theories of your useless elections. I'd suggest you'd do the same, sugarplum."

there are conspiracy theories and conspiracy facts, Jack.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

you are delusional.

I watched your silly video.

do you also not believe in the fraudulent electors scheme that has been documented and happened and people have been convicted for?

do you not believe in the call Trump made to Georgia to try to literally create votes out of nothing?

you can post baseless YouTube videos all you want, they don't contradict the facts.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I watched your silly video.

When? In the one minute it took you to reply to me posting it? /s

Have fun in your world of conspiracies.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I've seen that trash several times now

mega heads have been posting it.

have fun making things up.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

have fun making things up.

Says the person whose primary source pretty much only writes in conditionals and calls them "facts".

If you watched it so often, why don't you address her points, then?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I literally addressed her points in the other comment.

which part confused you?

she basically agrees with me.

the guy was right before in 2004, we know that Republicans do steal elections and try to steal one 4 years ago, so we should do recounts this time.

you didn't watch her video did you?

you just went along with the headline.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I literally addressed her points in the other comment.

You didn't at the time I wrote the other comment. Again: wtf are you trying to pull off, lying and shit?

she basically agrees with me. the guy was right before 2000, we know that Republicans do steal elections and try to steal one 4 years ago, so we should do recounts this time.

No, she doesn't. He didn't claim anything like that in 2000. From the transcript:

Need I go on? This “lifelong Republican,” (as he stated in his letter to Kamala Harris) has previously campaigned to reverse the 2004 election in which George W. Bush beat John Kerry–the year Bush won even the popular vote, by the way, not the year he actually stole the election in Florida.

you didn't watch her video did you?

First, you call her right wing, then you claim that she's lying, then you claim that she agrees with you by misquoting her. Pathetic.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

yeah dude, i didn't answer you before you asked a question.

do you understand how questions work?

go ahead. keep making stuff up, anyone can scroll up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

yeah dude, i didn't answer you before you asked a question.

  1. I am not your dude. Don't call me that.
  2. "I literally addresses that" implies that I ignored your other comment... before it existed...
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

1.you're being so informal and dude-ish with me, though.

  1. do you think you win arguments by running down tangents and just ignoring all the facts or relevant topics?

haha, because I'll tell you, that's not how you do it.

again the facts:

4 years ago, Trump and his team perpetrated the fake electors game and try to steal the election.

2 years after that, we had proof that they stole voting software.

now, many security experts are telling us that because of that stolen software and the fake electro scheme, we should manually count the votes in the states that determined the presidential election because they easily could have been manipulated or fabricated.

you don't like this one other scientist guy.

fine, write him a me and letter where you make stuff up about him.

but all that other stuff is real and all those other computer scientists?

also real, whether you like it or not.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I don't like you assuming my gender, homie.

I'd like for people not lying about shit they said.

Edit: so you think that shit went puplic 4 years ago and didn't even work back then would work now, when everybody knows he already tried to pull that shit?

I don't understand how the software sourcecode having leaked means that machines have been compromized. That only means thatecurity through obscurity policies won't work anymore. But that's a horrible policy.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

your gender?

what the tangent are you talking about?

okay, you don't understand how manipulating software means voting machines could be compromised.

dang, really?

I'm going to try and analogize this....

okay, you can think about compromising a software program like physical sabotage.

so let's say you have an ice cream machine with two levers sticking out front that gives out chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

If you pull the chocolate tap, you'll get chocolate ice cream.

If you pull the vanilla tap, you'll get vanilla ice cream.

let's say you only like chocolate and have access to the inside of the ice cream machine.

so if you can get inside the machine, you connect both lovers to the chocolate press tab but remove the vanilla press tab, so now, pulling either the chocolate or vanilla will only dispense chocolate ice cream.

The machine might look normal on the outside, but now regardless of the input, it's giving you the output that you want.

so if you get inside something, you can change how it works, so that it gives you the result you want.

does that make sense?

you can do the same thing with a computer program.

you can go inside, change what it says, to do what you want.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes. My gender. Don't call me Jack.

Sugar, I'm an embedded software engineer. Try mansplaining tosomeone else.

The source code was leaked. It didn't say anything about compromized firmware being flashed.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

go ahead and call me sugar, Jack.

Why is Jack used in a common phrase a gendered name to you?

do you get angry if people say "guys" to a mixed group?

your concerns seem unnecessarily exhausting. for you.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You don't get to police what gender people find acceptable to be called. You're closer to Trump's ideology than I am if you don't get that.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

what are you talking about?

you called me sugar.

you are implying that you get to police what gender people find acceptable?

besides, I literally said those are the facts Jack.

which is a very common phrase and Jack isn't even a gendered name.

Why are you assigning gender to it?

"You're closer to Trump's ideology than I am"

Trump is obsessed with gender.

I'm not.

you seem obsessed with gender.

so who's closer to trump?
