To: Ryan and/or Mehdi. As always, I would happy to flesh out this apparent confusion in the form of a long-form discussion, with the presumption of mutual good faith. Let me know if you're interested. @ryanlcooper @mehdirhasan

I reported on a rally in Harrisburg, PA where Democrats, liberals, and leftists showed up to the State Capitol and pressured electors to not vote for Trump because they said he was a compromised Russian agent. This revisionist history is staggeringhttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/810857986503610368 …

Here's an article in Rolling Stone comprehensively outlining the plan to block Trump via Electoral College coup, justified on the basis of Russian Hacking. I know these people are now in denial mode, but sorry -- 2016 is not ancient historyhttps://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/will-electors-vote-their-conscience-and-prevent-a-trump-presidency-107863/ …

we mainly noted you casting doubt on the Russian influence/interference operation, which you also turned out to be 100 percent wrong about (Laurence Tribe and some random protestors aren't constitutive of "Democrats")

You never identified a single claim that I was specifically “wrong” about and you’ve falsely stated numerous times that I was wrong to observe a plan mounted by Democrats to enact an Electoral College coup, which absolutely happened. I know you’re in denial mode, but be honest

The founders literally brought up the case of electors vetoing a morally impermissible president-elect in the Federalist Papers as an argument for the electoral college. Just because it doesn’t happen anymore doesn’t make the prospect of the system working as intended a “coup”
-
Suppose Clinton won, and Republicans petitioned the electors to vote R because Clinton murdered Seth Rich. Wouldn't you dismiss the petition as sore losers peddling an unfounded conspiracy? The accusation must be true before discussing what's morally permissible.

They now see you as a threat for speaking the truth. You must be silenced.
