Dominion Voting Systems Sues Rudy Giuliani

It's either that or find more credible evidence. Scott Adams isn't credible, period. While that doesn't make him de facto wrong on any argument, it means you cannot expect the recipients of your message to put the work in (that you've chosen not to) to validate whether this time he's operating in good faith.

You're not responding to the argument at all. Scott Adams' credibility is irrelevant. The video was shown for the segments of it depicting actual events as they happened, not for the segments featuring Adams.

It's absolutely relevant. Adams is taking snippets of videos completely out of context to try to tell a story. He's known to do this. And just watching the start of the video that's exactly what he's doing here.

Why would anyone waste their time tracking down the original videos when they already know, out of the gate, that he's taken things out of context? That's a waste of everyone's time, and EXACTLY why he's doing what he's doing. He knows most people won't bother to fact check his lies.

The correct course of action is to tell everyone what he does, and until he proves he's changed his stripes and starts acting in good faith, to ignore him.

Your original comment is flagged and I can't see it so did not watch the video.

I believe my comment is relevant to the one I replied to: I do not trust Scott Adams to present his content with any integrity at all, and so sending me a video he clipped together to make a point is not what I'd consider "good evidence". He does not act in good faith, he works backwards from a conclusion. If Steven Miller made a similar video about immigration I wouldn't trust it either without an in-depth review of the sources he relied on. I do not mean for this to be some ad hominen policy, I am not saying Adams and Miller are by default wrong because of who they are, but they don't deserve anyone's trust.

If I have missed some nuance because I couldn't watch the Adams video for myself then you have my apologies for this misunderstanding.

You didn't miss anything, it is Adams trying to prove voter fraud by taking videos out of context that have been fact checked already - but he added scary music and called the people doing their jobs "bullies" so it must be true.

To anyone else clicking this, it has been disproven repeatedly, Adams doesn't care that he's spreading lies.

Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures:

"All black people know each other"

"Everyone I disagree with is the same person"
