On the Utter Futility of Arguing Elections with the Left
Topic: Elections
I used to think only the left was crazy. Our side, despite our agreements, was convicted, upright, and stable. After unexpectedly gaining a large social media following thanks to the newfound battle against electile dysfunction, I became aware of the ins and outs of social media usage. All in all, I’d say I’ve done a good job avoiding needless and endless conflicts of personality and association and have effectively used my platforms to motivate and drive people to engage where they are and in what matters.
Our side has plenty of crazy too. We can’t get along, and we are already outnumbered. I have encountered ten times more bitter rivalries than I did in six years in the military while navigating between grassroots teams. The experience of stumbling upon these rivalries must be akin to stepping on a rattlesnake while hiking. You didn’t hear or see the warning signs (you didn’t know it was there) and before you can react, it is sprung upon you. Such unpredictability and constant neuroticism impact the social media game, as well. In the early days, 2021 to be exact, everyone ran off to Telegram because big tech was banning everyone with a different opinion from its spaces.
Once Telegram became the dumping grounds for the world’s paranoia, and massive movement infighting ensued, Truth Social came by to save the day. Personally, I love Truth Social – it is very easy to navigate, and while it doesn’t have the same technical capabilities Telegram has, trolls can be easily blocked; additionally, it isn’t full of Internet pirates and Nigerian princes trying to convince you to wire $3,000 for guarantees of future riches, and lately, the platform has the spam under control. Out of frustration last summer, I made an error in judgment by deleting myself from Twitter with over 64,000 followers. This was before Elon Musk took it over, and I was getting three likes, six re-tweets, and a comment or two on things I would have massive engagement with on the other two platforms. I was done rewarding the platform with my presence there, only to be heavily censored.
Now, of course, everyone with big reach has gone running back to Mother Twitter, or X, like it’s the shiniest present under the Christmas tree. Naïve idealism abounds, thinking we are going to change the minds of depraved, vile trolls who hide behind avatars and hurl insults, with many of them likely paid by the same people who have destroyed election integrity, justice, and everything down to girls’ sports in America. I am there once more, though I don’t like to post much because the other side is unwilling to engage in anything other than petty online behavior – and the platform still has its issues with outside-the-box thought.
I figured I would use this space to give you an example of how debating election integrity on Twitter/X goes, just in case you aren’t following me (@RealSKeshel) there:
Me
The 2020 election was clearly manipulated, and I believe at least 7 states went to the wrong guy.
Election Fraud Deniers
You can’t prove anything. Every audit, recount, and legal case has gone against you guys. You lost.
Me
Every case with the ability to impact the 2020 results with Trump still in office was thrown out on standing or for procedural reasons. The election was clearly conducted outside the boundaries of the law and many states made wholesale changes to their absentee rules without legislative approval. That is not legal.
Election Fraud Deniers
But all of Trump’s people are taking plea deals and his own Vice President thought the election was fair enough to certify it! Didn’t you read the book by that 27-year-old White House staffer who clearly knows the inside scoop! You lost! Deal with it!
Me
Clearly, the election was so fair, the count had to be stopped in all key states, and practically every known trend, indicator, bellwether, and predictor known to presidential politics since 1888 ceased to exist. Why aren’t we allowed to see the signatures on Maricopa County’s mail-in ballots from the 2022 midterms if you’re so confident the elections are clean?
Election Fraud Deniers
America, including Arizona, is rejecting you racist, homophobic, misogynist election deniers. We didn’t show up to vote for Biden or Hobbs – we showed up to vote against you people who want to take us back to the Stone Ages!
Me
We care a lot less about what you are doing in your bedrooms than you may think. We want secure borders, which will help eradicate human trafficking from our country, fair elections, and to stop sending young people to die in unwinnable wars. The only thing stopping us is your cheating in elections because you people can’t stop carrying water for a regime that will put you against a brick wall and shoot you to make way for illegal aliens once your usefulness expires.
Election Fraud Deniers
Trump’s own CISA director said it was the safest and most secure election of all-time, and so did the Republican governors of Arizona and Georgia, and Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State.
Me
Would you expect them to admit to the crime of defrauding a state’s presidential election, or signing said certification?
Election Fraud Deniers
Again, there is no proof. Bring me proof. We survived Trump, you will survive Biden.
Me
Why can’t we get a cast vote record that is accurate, if the county maintains one at all? Why can’t we get the voter rolls at a reasonable price?
Election Fraud Deniers
You lost.
Me
I would love to accept the results, even if I don’t like them. That way I would believe it is possible to win elections by out-harvesting the people who created ballot harvesting, who I believe defrauded the election because they also control the pace of the vote count and have the data to figure out how people are voting in real-time. The ballots, their signature envelopes, and the cast vote records, given promptly and accurately, would very quickly bring the fears of compromised elections to a close, humiliate President Trump and his supporters who have decried the 2020 election for three years, and also vindicate and legitimize all office holders who currently have no mandate to govern because nearly two-thirds of Americans no longer believe our elections are legitimate.
Election Fraud Deniers
You’re racist.

Conclusion
Arguing with the left on any platform, including Twitter/X, is a futile endeavor and likely to lead to frustration, at best, and being doxed, slandered, harassed, and cancelled at worst. I believe it is better to activate the lions than to wake up the sheep at this point.

Hi Seth, The best thing that you and Dr. Frank are doing is showing up in small meetings around the country. Little by Little you and Dr. Frank are waking people up to the Election Fraud. The innocent people that think that we have Free and Fair elections are the ones you need to wake up. It's like sharing the Gospel. Many people will chose not to believe in Jesus. Our job as Christians is just to share.
I usually have one or two strong evidence videos or articles on various issues that can silence the Left, but I don’t have a great ones on elections. There are so many strong pieces of evidence all over the place, it’s hard to know the best ones to use.
For J6, I use the Tucker interview with the police chief, Sund, that almost no one has seen, and is very strong in implicating Nancy and others in allowing the event to happen. You can’t really argue with what the police chief said, and the fact that he was kept out of the commission hearings is damming.
For election fraud, with people who claim there is none, I used to always reference the (pre-Nov) 2020 case of the Dem Philadelphia election judge who was turned in by his colleagues, after years of ballot stuffing, which he admitted to. It’s a good case because he was convicted and admitted it all.
But for both the 2020 and 22 elections, the fraud is so pervasive and cunning, it is difficult to find an excellent example. Many of the obvious things, like election workers doing things on camera they weren’t supposed to be doing, have been inoculated against by the legacy media framework. And corrupt judges, rulings abound.
So I often use the case of the Claudia Tenney race, where a judge was willing to slog through all the evidence, and eventually make a ruling and she won. It was like a miracle. It’s difficult to refute or say anything about the Tenny case except that it’s just one example. But mostly, the Left goes silent when I post cases they can’t attack.
Often times, a single personal story is something people can digest and, like any good story, it may plant a seed. The many many audits and court cases over the past three years are like an avalanche. It would be great if we had a top five of strong good 2020 and 2022 stories to spread.
These days, I reply to the Left person who can’t hear me that I am muting or blocking them, because they cannot be reached. And then they are gone. And I move on.
Thank you for all you are doing!
