Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

Isn’t Beanie Pool creating a fact-checking site? Am sure he’s mentioned it a couple times, although it may just be part of his news thing and not an independent source. Hopefully he does, Tim has his bias but outside his own commentary he seems to push hard for impartiality, prob why SCNR is so boring.

Anyone using wikipedia as a primary source is a fucking idiot. At best it's a place to find a nice list of references, but the pages themselves should not be cited, or relied on in any way, for the simple reason that anyone can edit them. There are any number of instances of news articles citing "facts" from wikipedia that were inserted by paid shills, political activists, axe-grinders, or plain old trolls, that went on to become "reliably sourced", because the news article became a reference for the page that the news article was using as its source.

And this is why the right has lost all ground in culture, and academia.

>Only idiots use wikipedia as a primary source
>lives in 2020 and frequents a forum that documents how more than half of everyone in their country is an idiot

How in 2020 do people still not understand these simple causal relationships.

For the guy wondering why the right doesnt create their own fact checkers: "Hurr, Durr only idiots believe fact checkers and I and my very smart friends see through their lies!"

That's why. Because somehow in 2020 people on the right still don't understand the way influence works.

Liberals and trolls who enjoyed testing the limits of Poe's Law. They provided some decent answers to Conservapedia's anti-vax, YEC, and anti-relativity articles, and they would post excerpts from some of CP's funnier articles. Then I think they tried to turn it into a general right wing watch web site and I stopped paying attention to it. I guess I should check out their thread.

If your school is letting you use Wikipedia as a reference for an academic paper, it's not a legitimate school.

No one uses Wikipedia to pull quotes for a paper. Everyone uses Wikipedia to familiarize themselves with a subject and sometimes to find sources.

I'm not sure how we got from fact-checking to wikis. A fact-checking web site would probably want to vet their contributors, exercise tight editorial control, maintain stylistic consistency, and publish only finished articles. It wouldn't be an open wiki that anyone could replace with PENUS PENUS PENUS at any time.

Now I think it's kinda weird to take the opinion of one kiwifarms user as evidence for why the right "lost all ground in culture, and academia"
I think it's more complicated than the fact that the right doesn't create fact checking websites.
Primarily because the infiltration of culture and academia by ideologues happened way before the internet was even a thing.

As for the right not having a fact checking website, that's because managing such a site is not fun at all. So that either necessitates enough people being autistic enough to volunteer to be political spergs 100% instead of actually having a job, or it needs money, and no right wing billionaire seem to be interested in wasting money on a website that hinges entirely upon users not being able to discern fact from fiction.

That opinion of the random kiwi comes from the same exact place that governed the rights retreat from academia and culture. "Oh its frivolous entertainment but nobody will take it seriously because I don't take it seriously". "Oh, those that can't do, teach and I can do, so I wont teach. Teaching isn't important." It's the same attitude that thinks "Only idiots use wikipedia as a source therefore wikipedia(and its lefty bias" isn't important because I'm not an idiot and don't use it."

Snopes(the original fact checker) was started by a cat lady and her soy boy husband. Anyone on the right could do it but they don't. Because most of the right have actual jobs so don't have time and the ones who could do it don't think it's important. Not thinking it's important is the problem. Just like the right preinternet didn't think entertainment or academia was important.

Biden’s Texas Political Director Implicated in Massive Mail-In Ballot Harvesting Scheme in Harris County
By Debra Heine • September 28, 2020
A Biden Campaign operative in Texas is attempting to rig the 2020 election with the help of others in a massive ballot harvesting scheme, according to two private investigators who testified under oath that they have “video evidence, documentation and witnesses” to prove it. With the help of mass mail-in ballots, the illegal ballot harvesting operation could harvest 700,000 ballots, one Harris County Democrat operative allegedly bragged.
The investigators—a former FBI agent and former police officer—claim that Biden’s Texas Political Director Dallas Jones and his cohorts have been “hoarding mail-in and absentee ballots” and ordering operatives to them fill out for people in Harris County illegally, “including dead people, homeless people, and nursing home residents in the 2020 presidential election,” Patrick Howley of the National File reported.
While law enforcement agencies are reportedly investigating these potential crimes, nothing will be done about it until “well after the November 3, 2020 election” the former FBI agent said.
Dallas Jones was appointed the Biden campaign’s Texas Political Director in late August.


Mark A. Aguirre and Charles F. Marler provided sworn affidavits as part of a class-action lawsuit in the Texas Supreme Court, Steven Hotze, M.D. et al., against Harris County and the state of Texas.
The National File obtained the private investigators’ affidavits.
In his testimony, Aguirre stated that he is a retired captain with the Houston Police Department and now a private investigator.
“I am currently involved in an investigation related to a wide-ranging and fraudulent ballot harvesting scheme in Harris County intended to rig the elections in the Houston/Harris County area. This scheme involves voter fraud on a massive scale,” he stated.
Based on interviews, review of documents, and other information, Aguirre identified three individuals, including a state senator and the Harris County Commissioner, who are working with Jones on the ballot harvesting operation: “District 13 Texas State Senator Borris Miles, who is the handler of Mr. Jones, political consultant Gerald Womack, and Precinct 1 Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis.” Aguire added: “One of the companies these individuals are using as a front for this operation is AB Canvassing, although there are others that have been identified that we are investigating.”
Aguirre noted that the ballot harvesters have been exploiting the elderly with the complicity of nursing home staff.
I have in my possession video-taped interviews of witnesses attesting to the aforementioned people having groups of people completing thousands of absentee and mail-in ballots, including completing ballots for deceased individuals; illegally going into nursing homes, with the complicity of the nursing home staff, and filling out and forging the signatures of nursing home residents; signing up homeless individuals to vote using the ballot harvester’s address then completing the ballot and forging the homeless individual’s signature.
This entire operation is being run by the elite politicians of the Democrat Party in Houston/Hams County. FURTHER AFFIANT SAYETH NOT.

Private investigator Charles F. Marler stated in his testimony that he formerly worked for the FBI where he was an Investigative Specialist “conducting undercover operations on espionage and terrorist targets.”
Marler stated that former Harris County Clerk Diane Troutman was so concerned about being implicated in the fraud, she resigned earlier this year, citing “person health reasons.”


Marler stated that the harris County Commissioner “was not deterred and continued to move forward with the plan to mass mail ballots and expand the illegal ballot harvesting scam.”
“In December of 2019, I was approached by two individuals who witnessed activity from an illegal ballot harvesting operation in Harris County. Since that date, I have been investigating the illegal ballot harvesting operation,” he testified.
During my investigation, a core group of names continued to surface regarding the organization and operation of the voter fraud scheme. Witnesses have stated to me that Precinct 1 Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis and District 13 Texas State Senator Borris Miles are leading the illegal ballot harvesting operation in Harris County, Texas. Their chief lieutenants are Houston businessman Gerald Womack and political consultant Dallas Jones who work directly under them in executing the ballot harvesting operation in Harris County, Texas.
Witnesses have shown me and described to me how the ballot harvesters take absentee ballots from the elderly in nursing homes, from the homeless, and from unsuspecting residences’ mailboxes. The ballot harvesters then complete the ballots for their preferred candidate and forge the signature of the “voter”. Two witnesses stated to me that there are two individuals employed at the Harris County Clerk’s Office who are aware of the illegal ballots and help facilitate and mask the processing of the ballots into the legal stream of ballots.
I have been made aware of a law enforcement investigation in the Spring of 2020 regarding illegal ballot harvesting. Several interviews of individuals were conducted. After the interviews became public, former Harris County Clerk Diane Troutman, resigned alleging health concerns due to COVID-19. However, witnesses have told me that Ms. Troutman was arguing with Commission Rodney Ellis about the legality of the mass purchasing and mailing of mail-in ballots and that Troutman was concerned she would be included in the eventual arrest pertaining to illegal ballot harvesting. Instead of coming forward and exposing the scheme, Ms. Troutman abruptly resigned. Witnesses have stated that Commissioner Ellis was not deterred and continued to move forward with the plan to mass mail ballots and expand the illegal ballot harvesting scam. Another witness stated to me that an employee of Commission Ellis, Tyler James, has bragged that he could guarantee that the illegal ballot harvesting operation, with the help of mass mail-in ballots, could harvest 700,000 illegal ballots.
It appears that law enforcement agencies are currently investigating these alleged crimes and I will provide them with the evidence that I have already collected and am continuing to collect. Sadly, these law enforcement agencies will be working to prosecute these crimes well after the November 3, 2020 election.

Citizen journalist Colleen Vera had previously discovered evidence of what appears to be a massive vote harvesting ring operating in the state of Texas involving mail-in voting and various Democrat political campaigns.
Vera’s evidence includes video of a Democrat campaign surrogate harvesting mail ballots from a nursing home during a 2018 primary race, and audio of a Democrat campaign worker admitting to harvesting ballots from a nursing home, and mail-in ballots from Harris County that all have the same handwriting and envelope process.

According to the National File, the ongoing private investigation is working with law enforcement.

Apparently, this was found to be harvesting 700k ballots for Biden, almost enough to flip Texas in 2016. Just imagine in other states what their operation is.

They are going completely all in on cheating because they know Biden would never win on a fair playing field.

In regards to Snopes, it was just about Internet and urban myths up until people with too much money decided fact checkers could be used to target political opponents. And as of yet it's difficult to say if left wing fact checking websites actually win elections.

Far more pressing concern is the media and acedemia stranglehold, where it seems nothing less than purges will do
