On a related note, Parler has seen a massive influx of users. They claim it's about 5 million the past week or so. Also on a related note, Twitter stock cratered about 20% a couple of weeks ago when they announced their disappointing user growth. That's about a $7-$8 billion hit. Wow. Imagine being so triggered by others' views that you would flush literal billions of dollars of stockholder money down the toilet to shut people up.
We're in uncharted capitalism territory here. I don't think that Adam Smith or Milton Friedman ever imagined a scenario in which the severely mentally ill would be in charge of so many major institutions and willing to sacrifice ungodly amounts of money shoving political propaganda down people's throats.Last edited by Hannibal; November 12, 2020, 09:56 AM.Comment

That's defininitely an argument for the free market as opposed to government intervention. I believe it's the same argument advanced by DSL and AA wrt social media platforms. It'd be great if those chowderheads turned out to be right!Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

It was down to one state between Gore and Bush and over a 1000 votes. This is nothing like that at all. Gore did eventually concede though, your savior will never do that.Comment

A dreadful existence would be rooting for companies like Twitter and Parler like they are sports teams.Comment

I was previously told that Parler is no substitute for Twitter. Now it's going gangbusters and soon Twitter shall rue the day they drove away so much MARKET POWER!Originally posted by iam416 View Post
It's possible that once the disaffected Trump voters realize there are no liberals to taunt there, just Neo-Nazis and Eugenicists and Brain Pill-pushers, many will come crawling back. I mean, how many MyPillow ads can you stand to look at?Comment

Gore only conceded after he lost a Supreme Court case and had no other legal avenues. And he never acknowledged electoral defeat. He only acknowledged legal defeat and still insisted that he was the rightful winner, even though multiple recounts showed him losing, and the only way that he ever would have won would have been to rewrite the vote counting laws and then cherry pick locations to recount the vote. The Democrats clung to that narrative all through Bush's first term and ran on it in the 2004 primaries.
Parler will never be big enough to attract the average Joe, and as long as rich Leftists are willing to sacrifice huge amounts of their fortune to ram political propaganda down people's throats, then they will wield ungodly amounts of power in swaying the American electorate. There is no outward sign at all that these people have learned their lesson and they are going to be legitimate free speech platforms ever again. The overwhelming majority of people still get their news from mainstream sources and do not actively seek out alternative narratives. That is why the average Joe does not know that George Floyd died of a massive fentanyl overdose.Originally posted by iam416 View Post
It's also only a matter of time before tech platforms like Apple start banning the Parler app. Parler-bashing news stories are already starting to show up in mainstream media. The Left will do everything in their power to shut down alternative platforms.Last edited by Hannibal; November 12, 2020, 10:12 AM.Comment

Correct. Again, listening to Ds about respecting the legitimacy of elections is high hilarity. It's like listening Cuba, Russia and China tell you how to go about human rights issues. Although, of course, as the Ds worship the UN that's exactly what they want us to do, so......Gore only conceded after he lost a Supreme Court case and had no other legal avenues.

The mere idea/suggestion that Hillary, or her supporters, handled the fallout from the 2016 election with any degree of grace, integrity or dignity is so laughable that it borders on the mountains of madness..Originally posted by Hannibal View PostComment

We should be tolerant then of Trump's behavior and that of his minion?Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.Comment

Trump and his acolytes will scream about this fraudulent, stolen election for the rest of their lives. I don't care. Have fun. Launch all the legal challenges you want. As long as his chump supporters keep handing over more cash, why should he stop? He's 0 for 12 in court so far or something close to that.
The only thing that really matters to me is that Trump's imposing a blockade across the entire federal government banning Biden's transition people from having any access. But that seems like it's near an end now that several Republican Senators have spoken out against it. It's not a problem yet, just petulant, but it could become one if he thinks he can do that until the Electoral College vote is "official" in December.
Odds are 90% he holds a Trump rally somewhere in Florida rather than attend Inauguration.Last edited by Dr. Strangelove; November 12, 2020, 11:20 AM.Comment

Its not really about Trump's behavior or that of his minions.Originally posted by Jeff Buchanan View Post
Once we dig past the political sewage that is rampant on both sides, Trump has a right to dispute the results in any state where he feels he was cheated. If he can prove it, he has the right to dispute the results in court. I personally believe any and all of his challenges will fail, but he has the right to pursue it.
Meanwhile, Hillary and Algore will still tell you that they never lost an election in their lives, and they even wrote books about it."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"Comment
