When someone like Metal Brain makes post after demonstrating he utterly cannot comprehend why you can't have a fair election while people are having bombs dropped on them in the middle of an active invasion, it's worth asking: does MB actually believe what he posts? Or is he just a troll enjoying the reaction he gets?

Think about it: ever single position he takes on an issue the most insane and most complicated possible explanation available. An actual conspiracy theorist would do this once in a while, but with the frequency and dedication of MB?

No one can be that stupid. It's just not possible. Maybe He's just a troll who should be ignored.

America has never delayed a presidential election, even during war.

Where did the whole idea of elections not being fair during war come from? If you are going to mindlessly repeat propaganda you should at least be able to tell us the origin of such notions.

If MB were a troll vivify is doing the one thing trolls are looking for i.e. the reaction and the attention, and what better reaction than devoting a thread to the troll. A TOS violation BTW.

Vivify Loses.

If MB is not a troll and likes to post edgy controversial posts that can lead in a thousand different directions and encourage diverse and original responses then vivify is wrong.

Vivify loses.

So in summary: Vivify loses.

Of the 15 posts in vivify's recent gun thread, 7 of them are vivify herself haha.

Thank you MB for not being a vivify.

Your link says that Lincoln's own advisors suggested he delay the election. Will you pause to consider this point?

No, you'll post why civilians being murdered by foreign invaders as their homes are being destroyed while they flee the country is no reason to hold off voting. Meanwhile, if Zelensky wins you'll claim he used the chaos of war to skew the election his way.

Actually, you answered the OP's question. It's not that you believe what you say it's that you're dishonest. You hate Zelensky so you'll use any inane reasoning to attack him, including claiming he just wants to hold on to power...even though his leadership during the invasion has immensely bolstered his popularity and he'd easily win.

Trump suggested using a small nuclear bomb to stop a hurricane too. People suggest all sort of stupid things. Pompeo suggested assassinating Assange. The UK government suggested the mass killing of cats during the pandemic. I'll bet I could find a book about stupid political suggestions if I tried.

Lincoln was POTUS of the northern states. Was the north occupied? You are making a mess of your own arguments. It is hardly surprising to me that leaders would use war as an excuse to overstay their welcome. What else is new?

Sounds familiar.

But I think he IS that stupid.

But our separate conclusions lead us to the same end result. He posts about one new topic a day. I think no one should answer these new topics. No matter how insane they are. MB should be relegated to a fate of leaving a long, long trail of one post topics forever.

" I think no one should answer these new topics. "

You did just that. Because you are the real troll. You are not here to debate.

Everybody here take notice that I never made the claim it is not possible to have fair elections during war. The burden of proof belongs on those making the claim. That is the source of vivify's frustration.

I am debating. That is what the debates forum is for. Part of debating is calling people out on proving their assertions. Vivify is attempting to digress into a false assertion that I am a troll when the person avoiding the debate is the real troll.

Viv and suzi are both avoiding a debate with insults and endless digressions. They are the trolls.

Inspired by Jeff Foxworthy.

What is the origin of delaying elections because of war? You need to prove elections during war cannot be fair. The burden of proof belongs on you. Are you turning on mail in voting after supporting it for so long? Are mail in ballots ripe with fraud now?

Don’t feed the troll.

I don’t believe he believes what he posts. He’s just here to sow disinformation and discord .

I’m in for sure it’s like swimming in treacle.
He is definitely a Russian, possibly Chinese troll holed up in a warehouse somewhere in authoritarianville. His answers remind me of those oddly expressed instructions you get on Amazon stuff sometimes.

Do you ever think you might be talking to yourself about yourself in a derogatory manner.
