The concept of betting depends on the fact that most betters lose. So yeah I'd say that's a lot worse than "100%"
You just haven't learned about prediction markets yet. You're picturing Vegas, where everyone bets against the house and has to take horrible bets. Prediction markets change based on the bets of others. There have been countless scientific studies demonstrating their incredible ability to predict future events. The vast majority of them have basically been announcing bidens announcement for nearly a month prior to it happening.
Ah yes, betting is suddenly mostly winners somehow if you change the context lol
Nope. You're still not understanding. Betting isn't mostly winners. It actually comes down at about 50/50 if measured by value and in a fair market. You really just don't know about this topic. Don't let that stop you from being condescending, though. It's kinda sweet in a puppy barking at a truck kinda way.
There is nothing that will ever stop them from being condescending.
Your point: hey everyone place your blind faith in another imperfect system.
My point: no that's dumb just vote
You win though
Nothing about this is faith based. You're out of your league Donny.
It's no wonder that 4 sentences are tldr for you.
Good luck with your lie campaign. I hope the Palestinians you are working to kill understand they are just props for you and Putin
It's literally the opposite of what I'm saying. I'm saying don't kill pamestians, you say kill em so long as someone wearing a blue tie is responsible. My stance is kill no innocent people no matter what their race is or who supplies the bombs. You can't say the same because you care more about party lines than real-life humans.
You are trying your damndest to get the person elected who specifically will want to kill them, so yes we can see you are lying.
I don't want trump to be president. I'm a us citizen, and I won't vote for him. This doesn't mean I will pretend biden or harris is an angle who doesn't deserve special places in hell.
Then why continually lie in a way that would cause impressionable people to act in a way that will increase chances of more dead Palestinians? I have a pretty good idea about the answer.
And no I won't engage on what you've lied about. It's obvious and practically every word you wrote is a lie. That pointless conversation is what you want. To misdirect and further muddy the waters so that onlookers don't vote or vote third party, leading to your God-King winning.
My god-king? The guy that I have called a likely pedo. The raping thief that I absolutely won't vote for? And I'm the liar? Seriously wtf. I've repeatedly all through this thread what a scum hole trump is. But if I have to choose who is more likely to genocide, someone who has been genociding for almost a year leading up to their potential reelection, or someone who never genocided. It is obviously more likely that the genocides will genocide than the potential genocider.
Yeah you probably have lied about thinking that way since you know that would make it appear you don't have an agenda. Yet you push one:
"The only alternative to trump is horrible so don't vote "
Interesting how Trump wins if people believe your lies: mainly that Biden is responsible for netanyahu's actions because sin of omission is identical to sin of commission.
By this very logic that makes you identical morally to racists pushing trump everywhere. Since you failed to warn anyone that a vote for Trump is a vote for killing Palestinians, not just by neglect but by full racist bloodthirsty intention. Ergo you are identical to netanyahu, and your own logic guarantees this is factual.
I'm sure you'll slime your way out of this just like you slime yourself all over Lemmy canvassing for trump but there's no valid argument you can make now that you've harped so hard that Biden is responsible for Israel's actions. I know you don't believe that sending them money is a new thing. Or are you willing to lie your ass off about that too?
I can't even imagine seeing someone call trump a lying pedo rapicist thief as an uncover way to promote him. How twisted you've got that brain of yours. All this simply because I point out that biden has been funding a genocide with our tax money, which is something nobody actually disagrees with. I say the obvious, and because you don't like the agreed upon reality, you attack anyone who comments about it. You need help. Seriously.
You of course are lying about this too, because no one's imagination is that non existent. Plus you only said that shit here 50 levels deep in the thread where you know it would mostly go unnoticed. Not to mention on Lemmy you know that would buy you some credibility with some gullible people. Since there's practically no right wingers here. Except the ones canvassing for authoritarians, like yourself.
We all know that the money has been flowing several decades and it won't stop. Biden could have and should have done more to discourage the actions of netanyahu. But you're not concerned with that, only discrediting Democrats generally. This whole toxic conversation started with you speculating that Harris would do the exact same thing you pretend Biden did: personally murder Palestinian children.
And before your lying ass tries to weasel out of this: https://lemmy.world/comment/11356007
You're not fooling many people but you're evil for trying and most of Lemmy despises you for it. Again, try Facebook instead where the average IQ is a whole lot lower.
That's a lot of words to build up to a lie. I have repeatedly said that biden didn't personally murder Palestinian children. That's absurd. It should tell you something that in order to "put me in my place" you need to say I'm saying things thay I'm not. I wonder why it is that you don't feel like you are able to win this argument without choosing/altering both sides of it?
If you think harris will be way different than biden, and that is what you are counting on, then you are sorely mistaken, in my opinion, but only time will tell. Once again, it is very telling that your hope is that what biden has been doing will end with harris, yet somehow you wanted to vote for biden before they switched him out.
"I'm not lying, you are!"
Sidenote it's interesting how you responded all day then suddenly stopped around midnight in Russia. Then resumed your bullshit factory at 4am EDT / 11 am St Petersburg local time.
You will never get anything on Lemmy but criticized and downvoted and you appear to know that. So I hope the shitty paycheck is worth selling out the human race.
It's going to blow your mind, but guess what, Europe, where I live, is near Russia. I know it probably feels like everything outside of the US is foreign/Russia to you, but it's not actually the case. Maybe get your education somewhere other than reaffirming news sources.
Whoops! You claimed to be American previously.
Thanks for the baseless implication that I don't know anything about the world though. It's not like I could easily driven to st Petersburg on one of my trips if not for the extremely fucked politics of your fucked country.
Wow, you really are young, aren't you? It seems impossible to you that an American might be living outside of America? I assure you that it is not nearly unfathomable, as you may think. Not everyone in different time zones is in enemy territory, and not every American is currently residing in America. Guess what, the earth isn't flat either. Also, Christianity isn't the only religion. Burgers were not invented in America either. Anything else you need cleared up?
Combined with your other whoopsies yeah I'm not inclined to believe you're one of the probably .5% of Americans living outside their country.
Probably because it's far more likely that the lies you've been caught in are part of a trend.
You think I'm a Russian hire because I made a typo and because you wrongly thought I liked trump. You think this is more likely than me being an American outside of the US. I just checked, your .5% guess wasn't too far off, it is about 1.5%.
I don't need to change your mind about your nationality. And I don't have to list the evidence. Plenty of it in this thread. You really aren't very smart to spend your effort lying here. Facebook will work much better for the lie campaign
Removed, civility + slur.
And you're 12 apparently
