Honestly, all that sounds a lot like Jimmy just has long-standing beef with GH since the entire line of argument is basically "he's wrong, so ban." But I think we knew that already.

Fair enough, he'll have to say whether he accepts the results or not pretty soon tho, correct?

For the rest, keep me out of this bs please.
No, he doesn't. The electoral college doesn't vote until Dec 14th? and the votes are not officially tallied until Jan 6th before Congress.

So until jan 6th there is technically no result to accept. Normally ofcourse no one waits that long because the results are obvious pretty shortly after the election itself but hey, this is Trump.

Edit, hm didn't realise this was the feedback thread. sorry.

Personally, I'm not the most familiar with Danglars, I only just recently joined the USPMT. I think he does say some really patently wrong things like that courts don't make policy (anyone who reads any court case will know they do all the time), and the idea that voter fraud is a legitimate issue (citations show it's a tiny issue that at worst impacted 43 votes in Michigan if you take the average from sources).

Other than that, I think the rest of the argument we had about "good or bad sides" was opinion based. Sure, I think his opinion in that discussion of voter rights was really bad and the argument is clearly shifted in favor of the side of the Democrats, but even if I think he's being incredibly ignorant of the idea and equivocating two unequivocal arguments, it wasn't worthy of a ban.

If your impression of Danglars is that he thinks courts don't make policy instead of courts shouldn't make policy then you should probably reread what you're arguing.

Thankfully, the courts aren't filled with these kind of huckster arguments, and legitimately weigh interests like running an "orderly, efficient election and in giving citizens (including the losing candidates and their supporters) confidence in the fairness of the election" and " federal judges do not possess special expertise or competence about how best to balance the costs and benefits of potential policy responses to the pandemic, including with respect to elections."

idk man, seems like he's saying courts arent filled with judges that make policy. Pretty clear to me what he and I are arguing.

Having Danglars banned on the election night is very mean. He should be allowed to go on temporary parole.

Agreed tbh.

We're missing a part of the discussion, valuable or not on probably the most important politics day(s) of the year. Give him a delayed sentence or something to be served starting next tuesday or whenever.

Would it make sense to prevent people registered today from posting in the election thread?

I'd also be in favor of that. 6399 was the latest example, though im sure there exists some people who lurk and never make an account/post and just not want to contribute.

I really do wonder, we had pages of actual discussion without any real issue and then 3 random post and the thread gets locked?

May I ask why?

The effect of consecutive shitposts in that thread is exponential.

I think the thread's main problem is that it can get too heavy and serious sometimes, so casually locking it when a couple of folks are lightening the mood is a weird flex.

Is it about time to move the Israel talk into a separate thread? Pages and pages of this discussion on a topic whose relation to US Pol seems tangential at best.

Boy, a dedicated Israel/Palestine Conflict thread sounds like the best recipe for a hellthread I can imagine. Not up to me, obviously, but I’d leave it in USPMT.

I think it’d serve a purpose as a containment topic, just as the mass shooting one does. Anyone not interested in Israel/Palestine could unsubscribe from that topic and never see discussion of it again while still being able to enjoy the high level of discussion the US Politics Megathread is known for. Anyone interested in it could subscribe to the new topic.

I’m involved so I won’t make a unilateral mod decision but I second LegalLord’s suggestion. This is as good an example as any of a use case for a containment topic so that the main topic can get back on track.

While I myself have this as the one issue I normally avoid discussing because it's the one issue where I'm not really able to keep my cool, I think it'd be nice, too.

But good luck making the OP to such a thread. I'd be seriously impressed with someone capable of making an informative OP that does not trigger 'either side'.
