Whataboutism isn't a great argument, which is why you lead with "Prove it. Like this..."

yeah, I like my idea for the template crossover but the joke itself isn't stellar, I agree.
I'm willing to do it again if you guys suggest a better one tho

"Both sides commited voter fraud"

"There's only evidence you committed fraud"

Okay, let's take it to court. If you're right, you'll win and if you're lying you'll go to prison.

"Not like that."

He's not going to prison for lying about there being voter fraud, that's not a crime. It's just normal political dishonesty. What he's going to prison for (in Georgia) is corruptly demanding that the Georgia state government "find him" votes and committing assorted crimes related to his attempts to fix the election.

if he took it to court, he'd go to prison for lying UNDER OATH

[–] Cleverdawny@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

True, if the court can prove he thinks it would be a lie

Orange Man Mad is still worth it, and I think you nailed it otherwise. It's just always worth challenging these claims directly.
