    Prove it

    You can’t prove a negative

    You aren’t claiming a negative.

    Logically, it was caused by something. You are claiming that the something that caused it was not the protests.

    The only way you can accurately make that claim is with the knowledge of what did cause it.

    So prove your claim that the thing that caused this was not the protests, but something else instead.

    If you don’t do that, you’re admitting to arguing in bad faith.

      I am claiming a negative. I sad it protests did not cause his actions.

      We don’t know what it was caused by, therefore one cannot claim it’s proof of anything.

      What should have been said, was

      “Maybe the protests helped nudge this into happening….” Or…

      “Looks like maybe the protests worked!”

      But disingenuously claiming this as a “w” by the same people that spend all day finding hit-piece articles to drag Biden through the mud is pretty shitty.

      You don’t get to call someone out as the worst thing for America and then take credit for the good that they do.

      I’m done with this discussion.
