Its a prediction not an argument
Under no circumstances will we see the truth of both predictions
Hopefully Biden will win and we'll see whether the GOP accepts it. That would be the evidence for half.
If God forbid Trump wins, we'll have evidence whether the WMP accepts it. That would be evidence for the other half.
I would LOVE to be wrong, but sometimes that's how the human scientific process works. We make a prediction THEN look at the evidence to see if we were right
A baseless prediction is of no value whatsoever. A theory with no evidence to support your claims is not worth anyone's time or consideration. But please, continue lecturing us about the scientific method.
Not sure "lecturing" is accurate but sure, I'll allow it.
For the record, is it your claim that if Trump wins, we will just accept it as the results of a free and fair election? Just "Welp, guess the voters were in your favor this time Donnie. Good game. We'll try to bring it in four years!" right?
Also for the record we agree that Trump could get no states and 30% of the popular vote and still say it was fixed and he should have won right? Honestly that's the result I predict most likely so the experiment will likely be of no value. Just saying.
It’s just my prediction bro! But there is a 100.00% chance. That’s right, it’s definitely going to happen, but I can’t say why. But we’ll just have to see what happens! It’s called science, ever heard of it?
Heh, fair. I do think 9999/10,000 is about right but I don't know you enough to trust you enough to make odds.
Tell you what. One sided free money bet. If you claim WMP will just say "Well, guess we lost this one" and not say the race was rigged (is this your claim? You still haven't claimed it yet I think) I'll come back in November with a post titled "CoggyMcFee I'm Calling You Out!" linking this post.
If Biden wins, so much the better for the world. If GOP doesn't accept it we're both winners, no trade. If GOP accepts it we're both losers, no trade.
If Trump wins, God help us, and WMP just says "Congratulations, hope we win next time" I'll give $500 to your favorite charity, or half that to anyone I can't write off, yourself included.
If Trump wins and WMP says the election was rigged, well, you haven't agreed to anything and owe me nothing. If you feel honor bound, my charity is OSI the Open Space Institute.

If I forget call my ass out. If Trump wins frankly we have bigger problems but I'll pay.
