because the ones describing things leftists do are a lot more likely to be true

Do you have any more stupid "headlines"?

ack chu allee
Every major corruption by the democrats are always labeled as 'conspiracies' by democrats and their propaganda media and nothing is mentioned when they are uncovered.

Meanwhile, all the major accomplishments of the two trump tenures are treated as if they didn't exist and they expect all the disasters from the biden administration to be solved overnight or they become 'trump failures.'

"Prove" is entirely subjective. There's a lot of evidence that ballot stuffing occurred at a minimum. Whether or not that evidence is enough to give a person an opinion one way or another is entirely up to them. I don't know if you're saying this or not, but I do think the evidence is broad and substantial enough that "if you can't prove it that means it didn't happen" isn't an intellectually valid position.

Or Progressives/Libs are more likely to be gullible idots.

Surely this has been noted in the comments that I haven’t read, but how many “conspiracy theories“ have become factual?
The answer is very many, especially one’s surrounding presidential elections.

First of all, "prove" is not entirely subjective. It may have an element of subjectivity, but if it was entirely subjective then it would be a meaningless statement, just like relativistic morality claims are. Basically that's what that statement does: it makes the post-modern claim that truth (proof) is entirely up to the individual.

Well that depends, doesn't it? It depends on why you can't prove any given claim, doesn't it? Especially if you're operating on the first statement you made above, the premise that proof is entirely subjective. Under that premise you could just be Matt Dillahunty and say, "I remain unconvinced" no mater what evidence is presented, and no one would be able to tell you that you were being unreasonable for holding that position.

But no, I'm not saying that. The guy I was responding to said every conspiracy theory floated has been proven to be true. That's not remotely the case. Chemtrials, the government wants to chip everyone, Biden is allowing illegals in so that he can arm them against American citizens and subdue the population, and on, and on, and on...

I picked that example because so many people say things like, "81 Million votes, that right there proves right there that it was stolen." No, it doesn't prove anything of the kind.

My position is that the Democrats cheated, and that's a fact. They cheated by having the Green Party removed from the swing states that Trump "flipped" in 2016 (He didn't really flip them. What happened is that about twice the percentage of voters who normally would voted for Jill Stein on the Democratic side b/c Hillary is such a nasty hag. And that was the margin of victory. Trump won in 2016 b/c of the number of votes Jill Stein got in 3-4 states...let that sink in. Democrats noticed this, of course, and cheated accordingly), and by way of the Hunter Biden laptop story burial and denial, which the media was fully complicit in. We now know due to polling that 1 in 4 voters in swing states from 2016 say they would have changed their votes had they known.

That's enough for me to know for a fact that they cheated.

But that's not what the average TD poster means when that is said. The average poster here doesn't even know about the Jill Stein stuff.

I know there's the 2000 Mules movie and various other video that shows ballot stuffing, but there's no way to know how many votes we're talking about and whether those votes made the difference in any given state.

Remember, "Democrats cheating," and "Democrats stole the election" are two different claims.

Personally, I'm not convinced that it did make a difference in any state except maybe Georgia. And I base that on having looked up the number of votes cast in those states and comparing them with the number of votes cast in 2016, and adjusting for the fact that Jill Stein was no longer on the ballot in the states that Democrats got her kicked off in. The only state in which the numbers looked significantly off in that comparison was Georgia. Every other one was what you would expect. If there had been massive ballot stuffing and that's it, you would have seen significantly larger total votes cast.

Not to mention the video that was posted here 2-3 weeks ago here claiming that the election was stolen, but not by way of manufacturing more Democratic votes, by way of suppressing Republican votes. First time I had heard that theory, and the election was five years ago now.

So maybe I should have chosen chemtrails or the theory that Biden was actually dead and the guy who bumbled around the WH was a lookalike.

Because my point really wasn't about the election, it was about the claim that all conspiracy theories have been proven true.

And anyway, Trump says the proof is coming any day now.
