Raz's suggestion is more subtle, less likely to tip the person off that Dorsey is messing with them.
:yes: That said, this tactic is undermining the faith in the elections in order to get a political win, one troll at a time.  Isn't that what GOP is doing?

Tell them it's the worst election fraud since Eric Crouch stole the Heisman in 2001.

This is awesome. I got a text urging me to support the republican senators in the run offs to stop socialism. I figured it was an automated message from some republican group, but decided to troll it anyway. So I responded:

QuoteYou're letting the presidency be stolen from Trump but you want me to vote for other republicans in Georgia? Fat chance. Work on revealing the stolen election first.

But it wasn't automated! They responded to me that we are working on revealing the stolen election but we need to keep the senate to keep the dems from having total control.

I've got to think of the best response here to demoralize whatever person is texting me.
Recruit the team that wrote up that Ann Frank fanfiction a few years ago. 
PDH!

Noooo! I blew it. :(

The person wrote back, "Thanks for taking the time to chat with me. Have a nice day!"

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Crouch won the heisman in a fair vote, but in the tally that really counted Miami beat Nebraska 37-14 and won the national title. Could have been worse if Miami didn't call off the dogs--they were up 34-0 at the half.

Dorsey was co-MVP and 22-35 passing for 362 yards and 3 TDs with 1 INT.

Crouch was 5 - 15 passing for 62 yards and 0 TDs and 1 INT (which was returned for a 47 yard Miami TD, leaving him with just 15 net passing yards). He did have 114 yards rushing, but lost a fumble.

The next year Nebraska went 7-7 and the year after that they fired their coach, and went to the west coast offense. That game can plausibly be credited with killing their program.

How did Miami's program die as a result of winning that game? :huh:

What did you do?  Maybe it's a good thing that fucking with them doesn't work easily, that could be a sign that a lot of people are trying.

Miami has had a lot of shit years but is currently 8-1 and #8 in the country. I don't think the program is dead.

Nebraska is in a recruiting wasteland--but for decades had been one of the top programs in the country with a run first option attack. Around the turn of the century, the knock on that style of offense is that it doesn't work against a top tier defense with good team speed. Miami effectively shut it down, which seemed to validate the criticism, and then the program had a couple mediocre years by Nebraska standards. They fired the coach in a season they went 10-3 and went to a conventional offense. Since that transition, the program has sharply declined--only 1 season since 2014 they have had a winning record and are currently 2-4.

My message was even a toned down version of what Raz suggesed.

Full conversation--after they sent me propaganda to vote republican, I replied, "You're letting the presidency be stolen from Trump but you want me to vote for other republicans in Georgia? Fat chance. Work on revealing the stolen election first."

The response I got was, "We are but we need to keep the Senate as we cannot let the Dems have total control if the house and senate you agree?" [grammar and typo errors are reproduced faithfully]

I said, "You can't win a rigged game. A broken slot machine will never pay out, no matter how many quarters you put in."

I got the response, "Thanks for taking the time to chat with me. Have a great day!"

I guess my dream of trolling this person today has failed. If I don't think of a plan b i might have to do work.  :(

I do enjoy the preposterousness of the Texas AG suing all of the other states for electing someone other than Donald Trump.  There is no state quite so Trump as Texas.  The fact that Trump is from New York City, and so undoubtedly loathes Texas, just makes the Texas dick-sucking more hilarious.

:yes: My friend watched one of the seasons of the Apprentice in full.  When it came down to the final two contestants, Trump harshly mocked the one from Texas for his use of "y'all", before firing him.  My friend found it really ironic how Trump's most loyal supporters are the ones that he didn't even bother hiding disdain for.

More people voted for Biden in Texas than every state except California. Just saying.

And Ken Paxton, like the other extremists currently taking over the Texas Republican Party, is not even from Texas he is from North Dakota. So what does he care if Trump hates Texas? Paxton doesn't give a fuck about Texas
