Now that Biden transition has been allowed to go forward I have less opposition to all of this.ahhrunforthehills wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 11:34 amWhy does MY CONFIDENCE matter?doodle wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 10:50 amWhen the affidavit can't even keep Minnesota and Michigan straight what gives you any confidence that anything else in there is correct? You can keep throwing the spaghetti...but at some point the reasonable voices like Christie come out and start calling the whole thing a national embarrassment. At that point you can go back into your bunker and prepare for the coming illegitimate Biden apocalypse or accept the reality (as Trump seems to be coming around to) that your man lost and get on with life. Either way, in 60 days based on all the evidence we will have a new President. My guess is that these lawsuits will peter out by the end of the month.
You seem to be talking about how YOU think the US Court System should work... I am talking about how the system ACTUALLY works.
Lawsuits are not a popularity contest in the beginning. "Overall opinions" matter zero for the initial pleadings. I am straight-up telling you how the courts handle lawsuits. Again, the bar of evidence is absurdly low to bring a suit and have it proceed to discovery.
You assume that Trump is "my guy". But again, you are simply allowing your emotions to drive your own narrative. Perhaps Hillary should have won in 2016... perhaps Bernie should have been the nominee instead of her. Your emotions are blinding you from the bigger picture.
Maybe the evidence will bear fruit or maybe it won't. Investigating our election system is the most pro-democracy thing that can be done. I find it sad that people that claim to be "pro-democracy" claim otherwise. If they uncover nothing... that is a great thing (since we can have confidence in it). If they uncover something... that is a great thing (since it can be fixed).
In the end if they find nothing of substance and say so, then I will be ok with that. Sure, let them dig. But the fact that all of their lawsuits to date have been thrown out reeks like a desperate grasping attempt to throw doubt on a process. My hunch is they will soil our democracy to protect Donald's fragile ego. The damage from that will be lasting.
