lame dodge.
For example, have you actual proof that I'm not open to being shown how the mail-in ballots have integrity?

Yes, I think that many of your prior postings on the subject strongly indicate the beliefs are non-falsifiable. And the inability or unwillingness to demonstrate how to falsify them sort of makes it a very reasonable conclusion. Until shown otherwise by demonstrating how they would be falsified.

why does it devolve to only "oordinated systematic fraud"?

Bob IIRC you have non-falsifiable beliefs about this subject. So I will just politely acknowledge those are your beliefs and won’t be discussing them further with you. Unless you want to demonstrate your beliefs are falsifiable of course. Cheers, Peter

ETA: but what do you think of Trump’s chances of winning the general election?

I should also note, though this is somewhat off topic, that I understand why a large number of people have a strong inclination to think the election was "stolen". It is far easier to think that is the case and that voting will get us out of this mess than to face what I think is the sad reality.

We likely won't get out of this mess by voting. Both factions of the uniparty want to split the electorate just about 50/50 and keep them constantly bickering and fighting and voting for one or the other faction. This keeps them in power. And also tends to hide the fact that they are both rapidly stripping away our liberties with statist interventions.

But it is much more comfortable and easy to think it will be fixed by voting. Voting is a fairly safe and easy thing to do. I wished it would work, but I doubt it.

Most people don’t face guns or abortions on a daily basis but they do face high food and gas prices and wages that don’t keep up. 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and using credit cards to buy groceries. They face this all day long every day and that is what Trump needs to leverage. He needs to focus on energy specifically because fuel costs are a major underlying cause of high prices.  He needs to campaign on stopping the flow of dollars to Ukraine as another cause because we are printing money we don’t have, and he maybe needs to address the pandemic’s role in hurting the economy.   Just say the pandemic hurt the economy but it would have been worse if I hadn’t gotten it so good by 2019.

Very true. The other thing I suspect Trump should stay absolutely away from is "the 2020 election was stolen from me". That is related to many of his indictments and frankly most people don't think fraud was a significant factor in the outcome and that it makes him look like a sore loser. I don't see any upside for him because while this riles up his base, they are going to stand behind him anyway. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be able to stay away from that subject. I imagine it really bothers his ego and he just can't help himself.

What do people here think of Trump’s prospects in the general election?

Apparently the polling on this has him and Biden in a dead heat in the general election. Certainly he has his very strong base. But it strikes me that is not enough in itself to win in the general.

If he tacks toward the middle as the election closes in, it seems he won’t lose his base. But that may just bring us back to a repeat of 2020. This is of course the general strategy.

Could another strategy be to instead tack further right and in a libertarian way? It is often said that the far right and far left sort of converge when it comes to many freedom issues. I know he is a populist nationalist, but I wonder if that might work?

What's your point Peter? Our belief that the Democrats along with the Global Elite, including China are purposefully transforming this country to a third world shithole is false?

I think the main point was not sufficiently clear somehow. Whether a belief is falsifiable or not is an independent property from whether the belief is true or false.

Has anyone here fully read the latest Trump indictment? If so, what is your impression?

The little snippets I have seen do not impress me overall; however, the business of illegally accessing voting machines and records seems like it could amount to something.

a wonderful irony is when someone dismisses another's position by claiming the other is suffering from having a non-falsiiable belief...

It is easy to show your belief is falsifiable Bob if it is.

I don’t think it is ironic at all Bob. It is quite appropriate to dismiss people’s non-falsifiable beliefs. What on earth could be the point of discussing them? They are not subject to rational discussion.

Here is where such a thing could be ironic. If someone stated that another’s belief was non-falsifiable, but could not be persuaded that it was not even after presentation of the sort of evidence which would falsify the original beliefs.

But normally people with non-falsifiable beliefs are very emotionally threatened by this idea and just can’t admit it.
