So who here thinks the election was rigged as D Trump has said or was it just that there was a segment of the population that didn't like his leadership and wanted a change ?

for a "disease" that is usually about as serious as a stupid little cold.
A Wizard have you looked at the deaths caused by this virus up to date in the US, 246,000, statistically projected to reach 400,000 in couple of months before a vaccine is publicly distributed ???
that sounds like little bit more than an ordinary cold virus.
I dont remember hearing about that many dying from an ordinary cold or flu. ???
I suppose if you caught the virus yourself and had to go to a hospital to save your life you might have a different opinion on the matter.

The ancients embellished stories many times to empower their chosen worshiped gods or to themselves, the written words within the bible is evidence of just that fact.
Real historical facts aren't used much in religions who set upon their own self supporting propaganda agenda.

Politics and Hope
by lriddle80 inso there are a lot of atheists on here.
my question: where does your hope come from?
that the right people will be put in political positions and will eventually form a utopian society that will meet all needs and we will have equality for all?.

I was wondering if only politics was the answer for them because they seem
to be for my atheist relatives and if those relatives lost hope in politics, then what else was there for them.
So your saying religious adherence (Spirituality) is where mankind should involve themselves with to improve and curtail humanity's problems and enduring perils ?
Human intervention alone without religious adherence is endeavoring futile and redundant !
Is that what your saying Iriddle80 ?

Are Jehovah's Witnesses running a race with no end in sight?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inhorse racing lengths vary from just a couple of furlongs to several hundred miles, if you count the mongolian derby.
in britain, horse racing rules state that races should be over a minimum of five furlongs, while the longest race is over 4m2½f.. .
nascar races generally last anywhere from 1.5 to 4 hours, depending on the length of the race, number of laps and track conditions.

Strangely but maybe not so surprising the finish line to this race has been constantly moved forward again and again since the Watchtower Corporation was first started in the late 1800's.
Why is that ?

Iriddle80 your superimposing the conceptual ideology that its only human made politics is the only hope mankind can possibly retain.
This is false ideology created and promoted by religoius organizations like the JWS which I'm guessing your a member of.
As history has shown in the end its humans alone that have the inherent responsibility for making the human experience better for all concerned.
Religious organizations look for people in peril to exploit their situation as a means to mentally lure them into an engaging false ideology of embracing supernatural beings and their select earthly chosen ones to guide them toward a better living experience.
Sure there may be at first some positive results in the beginning giving people some hope of reassuring confidence within themselves by being involved in a socialized group effort with others but the long term can prove crippling as well.
You can see this in people who got too deeply involved in the JWS religion.
People who participated for many years in special pioneer work only to be let go when they aged, leaving them impoverished with no financial or healthcare support by the organization to which they served.
People waiting for Jehovah their worshiped god to resolve mankind struggles and perils accomplished by being subjectively obedient to his supposed earthly chosen ones the GB leaders.
Creating dependency upon envisioned ancient gods has proven to be overall an endeavor of harmful futility for mankind.

So DOC if the top politcal leaders/campaigners in Washington know what your saying why would they then declare the Democrats won the white house (Presidential election) based upon the number of Electoral colleges won ?
Never heard of what your stating ???
Video explaining what the Electoral college numbers do in federal elections.

How will the rest of the World be affected if America is run by far-left Socialist?
by pistolpete inamerica was a power not to be reckoned with.
but lately it seems to be the laughing stock of the world.
what other countries are seeing on the news is riots, calls to de-fund the police, breakdown of society, and elections being over taken with fraud.

Biden by the way is not a far left socialist, he's noted to being a centralist.
He's no Bernie Sanders.
I can never see the US to be a strong socialist country, its inherent federal government system doesn't have that kind of constitutional infrastructure.

When a political leader says things that aren't backed by evidence, are they being intellectually dishonest or intellectually corrupt ?

Fact is a country cant have extenuating social programs if the country doesn't have a strong and running capitalistic business structure and personal employment to support those programs.
The big brouhaha thats going on right now in US politics is the business backed politcal party the Republicans going against the US government implementing a government sponsored universal healthcare social program for all of its citizens.
Most countries now days have some kind of government backed healthcare system for its citizens, even many Communistic and Dictatorship driven countries .
