Election 2020

[luka]

in one sense its just a glimpse at how elections are fought and won but its telling that any time anyone gets that glimpse, whether its here or with Brexit, they dont get a warm glow of reassurance they think wtf this is nothing like democracy this is the wild west

it's interesting in that it's obvious that the battles are fought and won online and the rules of engagement are evolving and are themselves being fought over

"I think you had a coordinated response from reps dems media and silicon valley."

Is it over yet?

Nah...it's only just begun

 

[Mr. Tea]

fuck knows what MIASR is but please dont invent things for me to beleive. i know for a fact you havent read it and i know for a fact you havent read any of my comments on this thread.

I couldn't be arsed typing Men In A Smoky Room yet again. I'd have thought someone with your titanic intellect might have worked that out.

I did read the whole article, and all of your inane, nonsensical comments. Keep telling me I didn't if that amuses you.

I have just been on a nice walk, lads. Even had a poke about inside the old Arsenal stadium.

 

[luka]

i rode my bike into the city then i rode it back again. mr tea is stupid.

 

[Mr. Tea]

OK. Let's try one last time. Fuck knows why, I'm sure it's a complete waste of time, but here goes.

You said the article backs up your hunch that:

"I think the decision to finish Trump had been made between the big boys"

That implies a conspiracy to prevent Trump from winning the election. There was no such conspiracy, and the article doesn't claim there was one, either. The article describes a counter-conspiracy to ensure the election wasn't rigged, as a response to the Trump campaign's conspiracy to rig the election. That's not the same as ensuring Trump didn't win the election, because one possible outcome of a unrigged election was obviously that Trump might still have won it anyway.

And you said:

elections are a fight between two teams both of which are trying to rig the election and whoever rigs it best wins.

Which is horseshit, because there isn't a scrap of evidence to suggest that the Democrats tried to rig the election.

you havent understood where im coming from. becasue you are of very low intelligence. well below average intelligence.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Your problem is that you're so desperate for cosmic order and meaning that you can't accept that anything happens anywhere without it having been scripted by the Illuminati or the Archons or whatever the fuck. It's all of a piece with your insistence that some sinister They - or possibly a (((They))) - "wouldn't let" Corbyn be PM. It would just completely break you to admit that he lead Labour to two general election defeats because not enough people liked him.

 

[Mr. Tea]

 

[luka]

no thats not my problem.

 

[luka]

if i thought the planet was run by evil Jews i would just say so.

but in the case of both Trump and Corbyn powerful interests acting in concert moved against them. like, obviously. maybe they would of lost in any case, who knows. but i think youre too stupid to talk to.

 

[john eden]

Luka’s vague allusions to powerful people shaping the world annoy the shit out of me nearly as much as Tea’s compulsion to ascribe beliefs to people that they don’t have.

Love you both, but come on.

 

[luka]

you dont think there are any powerful people in the world? thats a strange beleif John.

 

[luka]

imagine thinking there are no powerful people. weird.

 

[luka]

imagine thinking events dont have causes and acts arent attached to actors

 

[Leo]

but haven't powerful individuals and coalitions always played a role in even important campaign? there were definitely forces working against trump, I just don't think it's anything new.
