Proven? The uncommitted votes were 101k while Biden got 623k. The amount is substantial, but even if that entire group does not vote in 2024 Biden would still win since he had a 150k lead over Trump in 2020.

Obviously, I'm making assumptions like the same voter turnout + everyone else who voted would vote exactly the same way.

This is literally just wrong dude

No lol your second statement is literally just wrong. The only way to do anything like this would be through an Amendment, which equated to literally changing the rules bc the current rules do not allow for it.

What are you trying to say?

I wasn't commenting on that, just that the new york post means nothing. Regardless, I frankly don't give a shit what the police say; they're not exactly known for telling the truth.

Just fyi, the new york post is as dogshit as fox news. If you're looking to get actual information, you're better off looking elsewhere.

Not sure about here but yeah they definitely execute a lot of people for being gay: https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/02/yemen-will-publicly-stone-crucify-10-gay-men-in-gruesome-public-spectacles/

I have 0 sympathy for barbaric ideas like executing people for being queer. I cannot imagine they ever act in any measure of good faith, regardless of the scenario.

Only when the kids' parents can afford the uniforms, which has historically been used to divide the poor from the middle and upper classes.

Source?

Edit: genuinely asking, I can't find anything saying that.

The first page is pretty much all you need for the context of the conversation. Basically, according to the paper, Black people in the US are significantly more likely to be exonerated of any crime, but especially murder. This inversely means they're significantly more likely to be found guilty of a crime they did not commit.

The reasoning, I assume, for the person to link you that article is because of your statement about crime rates. I believe the other commenter is trying to say that crime rates are not actually equal once you normalize for poverty because of the high rate of false convictions.

Tbh, I'm not really sure what else to say about that. I just wanted to comment my thoughts on your question since I saw how rude the person you commented to was.

I'm not making the claim myself, just explaining it is a bit different than engaging in what we colloquially understand to be conspiratorial thinking. I would argue it falls under that category in the most broad, objective sense, but I would also argue that the common belief about conspiratorial thinking is that it is when someone believes demonstrably false information.

The difference is that most conspiratorial thinking is believing something despite overwhelming evidence of the contrary while this situation is believing something despite a lack of conclusive, objective evidence (that being no official statement from Musk or investigation into him about this). There is a lack of overwhelming evidence in support of Musk.

You originally said "at the time the 14th Amendment was ratified". But fair enough, I suppose. I understand what you mean.
