Provide a link.

12 minutes of Democrats claiming the 2016 election was stolen. It's ridiculous for me to need to document the fact that many Democrats made this claim after the 2016 election but here you go.

I take what you said as empty rhetoric having no factual basis. That many Democrats thought the 2016 election was stolen? Are you making a bad joke? You're denying Democrats claimed Trump stole the 2016 election? That's a silly thing to say. Many Democrats still believe it. You can have the last wo...

I have hard facts you have only rhetoric

It's incredible. Twice now you've totally ignored what I said; and avoided engaging with my point by responding to something I didn't say.

Anyone that believes that there was sufficient election fraud in the 2020 election to overturn the election absent any evidence of this is a gullible fool by definition.

I see you avoided responding to the point I made.

PeteOlcott wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 2:11 pm Actually they are simply gullible fools that act like a herd of sheep because of groupthink. They make the huge mistake of believing that there was election fraud entirely on the basis that other people say that they believe it too.

You mean the Democrats in 2016?

Please refer to this post, wtf, if you want to get a bit more context in what I was talking about with pete I think I've said my piece. I have not read the entire thread. I saw Pete make an error, and then I saw you seemingly agreeing with it. If that is not what you were doing, then I was wrong. I...

None of that disagrees with anything I've said. Can you quote the bit I've said that disagrees with that? You wrote, "I would replace "reductio ad absurdum" with "the law of non contradiction", although I see why you might treat them as basically interchangeable. But yes, t...

I believe I'm interpreting the principle in the standard way it's meant to be interpreted. If you disagree wtf, please let me know where I'm taking a wrong step. I did write a thorough explanation of the topic. The POE is just a restatement or a consequence of the truth table for material implicati...

"a contradiction is true" quoted above entails that the law of non-contradiction has been rejected. No contradiction is being taken as true. It's a hypothetical. IF 2 + 2 = 5 THEN I am the Pope. That is a logically true statement based on the truth table for material implication. The ante...

I am quoting this: The principle of explosion is a logical rule of inference. According to the rule, from a set of premises in which a sentence A and its negation ¬A are both true (i.e., a contradiction is true), any sentence B may be inferred. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Principle_of_explosion I...

I updated the Wikipedia page Good God almighty, this is everything that's wrong with Wikipedia. I note from the Talk page that you edited anonymously. Great work, Pete. I would replace "reductio ad absurdum" with "the law of non contradiction", although I see why you might treat...

Trump lost twice in number of votes cast. When is the US going to realise that the POTAS is a Pan-USA office, and that the Electoral Collage is unfair, and unbalanced? The only thing that matters is the actual share of the vote. The fact that some states get more electors is not reflected in any me...

It's all explained quite clearly on the Wiki page I linked.

The rest of what you wrote was your usual garbage.

The 360 pages of esoteric symbolism required in Principia Mathematica, to "prove" that 1+1=2 ... I wanted to place this remark in context. You are referring to Russell and Whitehead's tome in which they attempted to found all of mathematics, purely on logic. They developed some kind of el...
