@dmr1619 @streets_a_head @CortesYour @mattyglesias Right but it’s a conspiracy so who cares.

Polls are another reason your theory doesn’t make sense: the vote totals appear to be tracking the final public polling surprisingly well especially the late May Berkeley/LA Times poll.

[Ross Steinborn @rmsteinborn]

@dmr1619 @streets_a_head @CortesYour @mattyglesias If that’s the case why not just have bass win 51% and get who they want in the office now?

Your theory isn’t passing the most basic Principle of Parsimony

[Ross Steinborn @rmsteinborn]

@dmr1619 @streets_a_head @CortesYour @mattyglesias Let’s say you were right, who orchestrated this conspiracy and to what end?

As you noted Raman conceded and was in tears on election night so her involvement seems iffy. But no one else benefits. Bass wants to face off against Pratt, that’s an easier win.

[Ross Steinborn @rmsteinborn]

@streets_a_head @dmr1619 @CortesYour @mattyglesias I asked the same thing.
If she conceded then she got bad advice, just like the people upset that Pratt isn’t going to make 2nd place.

[Ross Steinborn @rmsteinborn]

@ZenWayof @CortesYour @mattyglesias I don’t know what point this is meant to make. Because she also didn’t listen to good election analyst.

[Ross Steinborn @rmsteinborn]

@CortesYour @mattyglesias Not really. Young progressives voted later, which is exactly as election analysts predicted

[Ross Steinborn @rmsteinborn]

@GerryCallahan By who? The democratic machine rigged the election for a progressive candidate that they don’t even support over a mayor who they do support?

Bass V Pratt is the race the democratic machine wanted because Bass wins that easily. Bass v Raman is a harder race for Bass

[Ross Steinborn @rmsteinborn]

@IMayDisagree @politicalmath Bass's strongest support came from early mail and Election Day voters, not necessarily from younger, more progressive voters, who tend to vote later and have their ballots counted later.

[Ross Steinborn @rmsteinborn]

@GodofBlunder247 @TheLaurenChen Well it wasn’t for the incumbent as much of the late arriving progressive vote went, unsurprisingly, for the progressive candidate

@BiblicGrounded Response 2 (subjectivity critique):

The absence of objective morality doesn’t mean all opinions are equal. We judge ideas by evidence, consistency, consequences, and human flourishing. A moral view can be better justified than another without being objectively true.

[Ross Steinborn @rmsteinborn]

@BiblicGrounded Response 1 (divine morality critique):

Even if God grounds objective morality, humans still have to interpret it. The Bible defended slavery throughout, while most Christians now condemn it. That suggests moral knowledge comes through human judgment, not revelation alone.

[Ross Steinborn @rmsteinborn]

@bumbadum14 He’s listed on the ballot as a republican.
In CA, he could have run as an independent but he chose to run under the republican banner, so this is a crazy take

[Ross Steinborn @rmsteinborn]

@EndWokeness this is pretty close to what every elections analysts said was going to be the likely outcome.

[Ross Steinborn @rmsteinborn]

@m5reci @Zigmanfreud Also from chatgpt.

Whatever your prompt you made ChatGPT assume that the remaining ballots were a random sample, which every analysis said would not be the case— the later ballots would be heavily democratic and liberal.

[Ross Steinborn @rmsteinborn]

@KyleMarcus_ @Zigmanfreud Every single analysis said the remaining mail in vote was likely to be very democratic. By not adding that fact to your prompt, your leading grok to respond how you want

[Ross Steinborn @rmsteinborn]

@AGHamilton29 @MattWhitlock This is the outcome that most election analysts considered the most likely. The problem isn't election fraud in California, it's that many people dismiss expert analysis when it doesn't match their expectations.

[Ross Steinborn @rmsteinborn]

@jaynitx Oh my God…. He’s an idiot.

You think “these people have lots of money they must be smart” but turns out idiots a lot of wealth is that otherwise stupid people get lucky.

[Ross Steinborn @rmsteinborn]

@ZevWaldman @trouble_man90 This is the best explanation

[Ross Steinborn @rmsteinborn]

@5Solas Considering that Paul and the Church Fathers were deeply engaged with Greek and Roman philosophical traditions,
including Stoicism, Platonism, and Aristotelianism. Studying philosophy seems to be one of the Church's oldest intellectual traditions.
