    A top Democratic operative says voter fraud, especially with mail-in ballots, is no myth. And he knows this because he’s been doing it, on a grand scale, for decades.

    “You have a postman who is a rabid anti-Trump guy and he’s working in Bedminster or some Republican stronghold … He can take those [filled-out] ballots, and knowing 95% are going to a Republican, he can just throw those in the garbage.”

    An anonymous source in the New York Post. That's the very definition of fake news that Trumpists continue to tell us all about isn't it?

    Can you define hate speech?

    I would consider this to be hate speech
    “Other countries” are allowed to shoot migrants, he lamented to supporters back in May as his reelection campaign flooded the internet with ads about an “invasion” on the southern border. “Other countries stand [at the border] with machine guns, ready to fire,” he told Sean Hannity in March, noting that “it’s a very effective way of doing” things.

    I'll let the dictionary do it

    abusive or threatening speech or writing that expresses prejudice against a particular group, especially on the basis of race, religion, or sexual orientation.

    All dictionaries are leftist publications, everyone knows that.

    New talking points have dried up so it's the exact same talking points day after day. They're even posting anonymous source stores from mainstream media outlets now so you know things are getting desperate.

    There's a reason you can't define it, because hate speech doesn't exist it's just another tactic used to silence people that disagree with the narrative or agenda that is being pushed.

    Who defines what is and isn't hate speech?

    Very slippery slope if we allow the government or anyone to regulate the words that come out of our mouths.

    Just look what happend to Jordan Peterson when the woke mob attacked him and called him transphobic for daring to challenge the bill that would have resulted in misgendering a person being grounds for discrimination.

    "The bill sought to expand human-rights law by adding “gender identity and gender expression” to the list of grounds upon which discrimination is prohibited"

    Personally I don't think America can be fixed regardless of who gets into power unless they address the fundamental issues that have screwed them up especially education, health care, especially mental health and workers rights. They are a lesson on what not to do around these areas that unfortunately some Irish and U.K. politicians haven't learned.

    Would you walk up to a black person and call them a N*$#er?

    Would you walk into a synagogue and declare that Hitler had the right idea?

    Those would be perfect examples of hate speech.

    So it could be as much as 9 months ago by having a 2020 logo in it. Bigly brain

    “Act Blue has raised 312 million dollars since it was announced that Ruth Bader Ginsburg had died.”

    ActBlue is a FEC-certified Democratic fundraising site

    Phenomenal!

    I believe they are called racsism and anti-Semitism?

    Where's the define of hate speech still waiting for you to define it?

    Or maybe you can't because it's not possible?

    Eh it's been defined by plenty world wide, just because you don't like specific people because of their colour, sexual orientation etc or don't agree with the definition doesn't mean it hasn't been defined.
    My personal definition is that someone who does want to dislike and encourage mistreatment of someone due to their race, religion, sexual orientation etc, is that their just a c*nt.

    Hate speech has been defined
    The term hate speech is understood as any kind of communication in speech, writing or behaviour, that attacks or uses pejorative or discriminatory language with reference to a person or a group on the basis of who they are, in other words, based on their religion, ethnicity, nationality

    Just because you don't like the definition doesnt mean it doesn't exist or is wrong.

    You put years in on your first post then edited it. Of course you know this.

    That can't be true. The Trumpists on here told us there was no enthusiasm on the Democrat side for this election campaign.

    Hate speech doesn't exist because it can't be defined.
    A minor note on this, important if only to highlight the legal side of the terminology and its effects when legislated.

    The Bill Peterson opposed was known as C16 or, by it's full name, An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code. As per the New Yorker article you linked, Peterson "argued that such a law could be a serious infringement of free speech" however his concerns were dismissed by not only law professors at his own University but also the Canadian Bar Association who not only supported the passage of the bill but also detailed, in an open letter, why it did not pose any risk to freedom of expression.

    On the off-chance you didn't click on the wiki link for the Bill above, the reason I highlighted the words "would have" in your quoted reply is because the law has been on the books now for over three years and to date there have been no prosecutions of any kind under the act. The incident at Wilfrid Laurier University, also referenced in the article, is, however, a somewhat amusing reference under the circumstances as it came about due to a different group of academics who also misinterpreted the Bill for a number of similar reasons.
