Free and fair elections are a source of US national pride and identity. If a national election wasn't fair, then we have no more political freedom than a non-democratic country. So yes, you're allowed to say it, but without solid

I skimmed the article and it seems to outline how folks knew Trump wouldn't concede if he lost, so they were preparing to fight disinformation and preparing for potential legal battles. Could you elaborate on the changes you're ta

“It was good”, addresses the post-creation impact of the something vs. nothing (decision, instance, etc.), but it doesn’t answer the question of why there is something vs. nothing, which is asking about the origins of existence and isn’

This is true, but I also find it hard to believe that everything in nature is intentional towards a positive evolutionary outcome. For example: sharks being incapacitated when they’re flipped upside down, or any number of genetic diseases.

Having multiple partners doesn’t mean men are having children with multiple women. At least in my community, many of the men having kids with multiple women get married, have a kid, then divorce, remarry and have another kid. And even that
