Absolutely. I try to counter it by beeing aware and checking M opinions against facts where possible. But I am sure there are many topics where I don't fully succeed or I haven't caught myself doing it yet.

I honestly don't see how I am or was screaming at you and u apologise if it came across as such. You are stating your opinion, which you indeed are entitled too. I am stating why I disagree. I am not attacking you as a person, or trying to belittle you for it. I simply don't think it beneficial (for the left) to hold the view you have stated without evidence.
Trump is a con man and a liar, absolutely. But for pulling of something on this scale it needs way, way more than one person. And all of them would have to hold tight, no leaks what so ever. That just doesn't sound realistic to me. I do hold the view hat we should base our opinions in fact, not speculation. I don't mean this as an attack. Ist just my view.
I am also not accusing you or anyone of beeing in cult.
I said it before to another person here, I'll say it again: I understand how you, how we all are angry, hurt, devasted even after this election. I share those emotions very much.
I still don't think we should copy the behaviour of the other side. I know you feel justified in your option. So do they. That doesn't make it more or less true though. Cult like would leave no room for discussion what so ever tough. I think we have that room, and are engaging in it right now. I think indeed the very fact that we are able to exchange opinions on this shows how this is very much not a cult.
Ich kann auch was zu Mädchen sagen, die ins männliche Geschlecht wechseln wollen, ist aber ein eigenes Thema und viel seltener, daher nicht mein Schwerpunkt hier.
Die erste überprüfbare Aussage die du raushaust, die nicht nur Geschwurbel ist (wie der Rest) und direkt einfach Blödsinn.
Of the 1.3 million adults who identify as transgender, 38.5% (515,200) are transgender women, 35.9% (480,000) are transgender men, and 25.6% (341,800) reported they are gender nonconforming.

One person is not a conspiracy theory
Sure, but you are not the only person here, who is taking that narrative.
Sure Trump is a fucking Bastard. But we hit quite hard on the right for speeding their conspiracy "stolen election" shit in 2020. I just don't think it's sensible to turn that around. With clear cut evidence: sure thing. But just making the accusation... Na, not so much.
That's fair, and I'm sorry to have been an asshole about it.
No worries. We all have to cope with this some way or another and sometimes that mean beeing a bit of an asshole. I don't take it personal, I understand where you are coming from.
I question the fact that nearly 1 in 2 Latino voters voted to deport themselves
Latin are a conservative bunch by nature. Many of the progressiv view the left hold, regarding for example masculinity and feminism, stand in contrast to their culture. (This is a very broad statement that does not aplly to all Lations!) And many think that it's not going to be them that will be deported, it will he those Mexican drug smugglers. Which is a delusional view to hold, in my opinion. Same fore for queer folk voting red. But it is want it is and the data we have from polling and voting do add up in regards to Lations.
I find it difficult to believe that 15+ million other voters who showed up to vote for Joe Biden, didn't show up to vote for Harris.
Yes, that's hard to swallow, I agree. Maybe it's because the last vote happened with Corona in the backdrop? Maybe Trumps many Errors where much more fresh on the mind of so many. Maybe inflation kept people from trusting the Democrats. Maybe some just won't vote for a female. Or a black person. Or, god forbid, both. Lots of possible reasons. I do think we should try to understand them and filter them on in the future.
This is the most politicized election we've had in over a century, nobody didn't hear about this.
Yes, but that means you also listen to 2 party's accusing one another of beeing the devil / literaly Hitler for one year plus. I see how people who are not that interested in politics can get numb to this.
because by the time I woke up after election night everyone had already decided none of the Dems showed up and Trump had won, when according to gov websites the final vote tally and certification isn't even until mid December.
This realy sound exactly what republicans said in 2020.
I've never seen election results get called so early that I can remember.
That's because they were realy very obvious this time. It didn't come down to just a couple of votes in swingstates like in 2020.
According to this 2016, 2012 and 2008 where called on simular schedules or earlier. 2020 was an outline because of the amount of mail in votes.
I saw three different news stories about conservatives setting ballot boxes on fire. Our gerrymandering maps are so bad they can be confused for TV static from a distance. Millions of people had their voting registration purged by state level conservatives weeks or days before the election.
All of there are fair points, and they should be handled in two ways: Take evidence to the courts where illegal things happend. And try to change the system where fraud has been made legal.
Regarding both points i think it is a very real possibility that the window to deal with them is past and the Trump administration will solidify and widen them. This might have been our last fair election.
My only hope is that it goes like last time and they are at each other's throuts for 4 years or just to incompetent to do to much that has lasting damaged. But I'm not betting on that. I think this time they will come prepared. And it will be the end of America as it is now.
Ah yes, it's exactly the same with no differences,
Not what I said.
surely Trump isn't known to be a cheat and a liar
I think it need more than one person to cheat on this scale, no?
Surely he hasn't stated publicly his intentions to cheat the election.
He hasn't. He said they need no more votes. You are taking thins one thing he said and pretending it's "intention to cheat the election.". Which is simply not true. It could also mean that he is sure he will win, because he thinks he has got all the states he needs on his side. I'm sure there are more interpretations. But that's all it is.
No, he's a perfect human being
Never said that.
we're all just shouting about voter fraud because we're stupid.
Never said that. Your angry, hurt, what ever. Emotional. And I understand that. I'm absolutely devasted by this shit. And I see how one might jump to conspiracy thinking in such a situation. I just don't think it helps, so I'll call it what it is. Not to attack you, as a person, or to call you names. Just because I don't think it's helpful.
I think we (as in "the left") should try to base our opinions on facts and not repeat the shit the right is doing all the time, throwing baseless accusations around.
Ah, so now it's time for baseless accusations from our side, yes?
As long as there is no proof this is as much a conspiration theory as the the bullshit the right was spewing about in 2020.
No, not true. They are saying that this time they knew to watch close, so the Democrats couldn't pull of the same fraud as 2020. They are indeed stating that it is "supisious" that 13 Million Democratic voices where nowhere to be seen this time around, taking that as proof they were right all along.
That's how this works. You take reality and then make it mean what you want it to mean. So that's their take in regards to voter fraud.
Just because you are getting downvotes so hard, let me say out loud that I agree with you. Enjoy Harry Potter all you will, but pay money for it and you very directly funded the ideas the author stands for.
Die Native American Association hat dazu einen Beitrag auf ihrer Website, aus "aktuellem Anlass". Das ist die Vereinigung, deren Vorsitzende, Carmen Kwasny, im Artikel zur Sprache kommt (bzw auf deren Stellungnahme gegenüber der Katholischen Nachrichtenagentur von der FAZ Bezug genommen wird).
"Die Frage, ob es sinnvoll ist, das Wort "Indianer" aus dem deutschen Sprachgebrauch zu verbannen, kann definitiv nicht mit wenigen Sätzen beantwortet werden. Wir brauchen dafür viel mehr Zeit und weitere Informationen. Das ständige Wiederholen der stets gleichen Argumente bringt uns nicht weiter. Es ist ein längerer Prozess und es ist wichtig, dass wir dies gemeinsam tun."
Falls jemand wirklich mal Lust hat die Perspektive von Betroffenen zu erfahren und etwas tiefer einzutauchen.
Unrelated, aber interessant. In dem von dir verlinkten Dokument wird der Verlust des gesamten männlichen Penis mit 50 Recht hoch angesetzt (unter Punkt 13). Ein Verlust der Klitoris (durch z.B. Zwangsbeachneidung oder Unfall) kommt gar nicht erst vor. Der Verlust eines Eierstocks oder der Gebärmutter wird mit 0 bewertet, außer er geschieht "in jüngere Alter bei bei noch bestehendem Kinderwunsch" (Alles unter Punk 14).
Ich bin da wahrlich kein Experte und nicht in der Materie drin, aber das richt schon ein bisschen nach Listen, die alte weiße Männer mal erstellt haben und die sich hartnäckig halten. Ist jetzt erst mal mehr ein Gefühl als ein Fakt aber.
