Biden won fairly
You are calling a lot of people liars. Proving that they’re lying is your job.
Russia interfered with the 2016 election
This is a ridiculous conspiracy theory that some leftists happen to believe. I don’t have to prove it, because I think it’s false.
President Trump is racist

Justice Kavanaugh is guilty of sexual assault
I have no idea if this is true or not. That’s up to the courts to decide. Even if I think they’re biased — and they definitely are — they have the tools to carry out an investigation if they want to. I don’t.
Kamala is black
If people treat her as black, then she is. It’s a pigeonhole that people get forced into — there is no black gene (skin color, the obvious choice, comes in a variety of different shades of orange-ish).
Abortion is not murder
Is popping a pimple murder?
Taxing the rich will grow the economy
Who cares if it grows the economy? I just don’t want people with chronic illnesses to be stuck with jobs they hate because they can’t afford to leave.
Affirmative action works
Affirmative action doesn’t work because nothing works, everyone’s an asshole and the world sucks balls. The American slavery system will end the same way the Roman one ended — with the death of the empire that hosts it.
Christianity is false
If you’re a Biblical literalist, then it must be false, because that book contradicts itself. If you aren’t a Biblical literalist, then “Christianity” is so broad that it’s impossible to just say whether it’s true or false without naming a specific version.
Legalizing drugs lowers drug abuse
Does anyone actually believe this? I thought the goal was to reduce the “gateway drug” effect by letting people buy weed without going to a peddler that also offers crack cocaine.
There is no leftist indoctrination in public schools/universities
I guess it depends on where on the spectrum you sit. You’re arguing that common descent is a leftist plot, while the actual hard leftists all think science is an imperialist imposition.
In other words, you have a skewed perspective on what’s “leftist.”
Humans are changing the climate
If you had picked a more specific claim, you might have had a point. But no. You picked a claim so broad that, even if it turns out that humans actually are going to cause a new ice age, you’d still be wrong. Learn to hedge your bets when you Gish Gallop. The whole point is that each point should be difficult to refute, not something I can dismiss with just a “nobody actually believes this” or a single link to NPR.
… so anyway
Do you honestly think this crap isn’t going to have some sort of effect on the climate? Even if the scientists are all wrong, we are probably doing something. We are doing too much stuff, of too many different kinds, to not be having an effect. If it’s not the CO2, it’s going to be the heat island effect. Or deforestation.
Gun control works
Gun control doesn’t work because nothing works, everyone’s an asshole, and the world sucks balls. If gun control doesn’t work, then the USA needs to work on its mental health infrastructure, but, unfortunately, that won’t happen either.
Mass immigration grows the economy
… why the fuck wouldn’t it grow the economy? It’s literally increasing the population, it’s increasing knowledge transfer (because immigrants bring their differing ideas with them), it allows demographically negative countries to avoid suffering retirement plan collapse, and it brings mutt vitality and prevents inbreeding.
Obama was born in America
You are accusing someone of lying. Prove it.
Michelle is a woman
You are accusing someone of lying. Prove it.
Earth is a billion years old
It sure as heck isn’t six thousand years old. There are literally trees that are older than that.
We came from monkeys
If we didn’t come from monkeys, then why do we have so much in common with them? Why do human fetuses have tails like monkeys do? Why do humans and monkeys both get scurvy? Why do humans have things like tailbones and toes, which technically still get used, but are hardly the optimal body part that we could imagine for the purpose they now serve? Why are there so many humans, like you, that insist on tribal shit-flinging?
Yeah, I know, comparing the fundie to a monkey is a very old, very tired joke. But what do you expect from an older-than-dirt PRATT collection like this?
