I almost exclusively post in the abl thread these days although I still follow starcraft. regarding the US thread I used to post in it and it really seemed more and more like it turned into the same people arguing amongst themselves which I became less interested in participating in. which is kind of like the LOL off topic/lounge thread I was into for a while before it moved to discord which I don't really use ever. I'm not sure what locking the thread would accomplish if you leave the other political threads open cause some of the conversation might just migrate over there. anyway I no longer participate in it so I guess my personal feelings are kinda irrelevant lol. We wouldn’t just lock the thread. We would ban politics altogether. So that would mean closing down the USPMT and all other political threads. | ||

Danglars, I'm sorry but I think that you need to take a break from the USPMT. I agree with other people talking about how you refuse to argue in good faith. You can't seem to ever admit the other side is right regardless of how much evidence gets provided to you. It's been an ongoing pattern for a while now, and at some point, we have to step in and say that enough is enough. Republicans filing cases in court and Danglars explaining why they're doing it isn't "right and wrong." No clue what the mods are thinking here. | ||

Many Republicans are coming out to say the same. And Danglars is particularly bad for sometimes swapping his logic mid conversation or flat out making stuff up. But I also think when people make offensive claims with out backing it up about "western media" misrepresenting Chinas treatment of the Uighurs. Who or which side the claims come from should not matter. The only bad thing here is mis-reading of Danglar's point. If you follow the conversation he pointed out times in the past that court filings have been made purely to count in favor (Bush v Gore 2000, Clinton 2016). Get out of your echo chamber and understand the argument. This goes back to a larger point he makes all the time. Stop seeing doom and gloom in everything. The Republican Supreme Court of Texas refused to throw out the votes. TLDR: This happens all the time. Have more faith in the government because they ruled exactly like you wanted. | ||

EDIT: For clarity, I don't see the colonialism argument as being an excuse for the actions, more of an explanation and more interesting discussion topic as a whole, especially as opposed to "beheading bad, Muslims also bad?" I don't see GH saying the French people /deserved/ this string of attacks. | ||

Eh, it wasn't JUST that argument. A bunch of small bad faith arguments have been piling up, basically. The other ones he mostly just ignored any evidence presented from the other side or tweaked his argument slightly so he could ignore them. That one was a massive doozy, though. Comparing a bonkers, unprecedented request to invalidate 100-130k legitimately cast ballots to two recount requests doesn't really make any sense (especially when one was accepted as valid and the other was thrown out and both resulted in no change). Why was the comparison so ridiculous? Recounts change the final margin by, on average, 40 votes. That request was the equivalent of 2,500 average recounts! It's more than a few orders of magnitude different. (The largest margin change ever was by 1,020 points, and almost no others come close to that) https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/a-recount-is-unlikely-to-change-the-north-carolina-governors-race/ Recounts happen in every democracy. Attempt to throw out >100k votes that your party approved of, just because you're afraid of how they voted, is something that only happens in banana republics. Regarding GH: this isn't the EU politics feedback thread, is it? I've not seen any Uighur discussion in the US pol thread in months (I don't participate in EU because I know nothing about the EU's politics). | ||

Danglars was banned for a week. That stuff happens. GH has served several temp bans. His 'friends in high places' successfully petitioned for a permban to be turned into a 1 month ban. | ||
