We will have a neutral arbitrator NOT on this forum pick a random Democratic Facebook group of more than 3000 people.

We will post a voting question:

"Are the current riots and looting in Minnesota justified?", with the selections of "Yes" and "No".

If any less than 67% votes "Yes", I lose the bet. If 67% or more votes Yes, I win. If there is any suspicion of voting irregularities, we will review and throw out all votes made from members who joined after we had our group chosen by the neutral person.

I will bet any sum of money up to $20k.

You are trying to prove that being pro-riot is not a mainstream Democratic position, and that my stating so is a strawman. I'm trying to prove otherwise.

We can escrow the money.

Let me know if interested.
Its absurd to think that Facebook groups reflect mainstream thought. Obviously the extremism is more present on the internet, on both sides. I'll even go as far as saying that it is more disproportionate on the right, definitely true for me anecdotally. I will pass.

I also will apologize for being mean-spirited earlier. It's a poor use of time and a nasty way to be. Sorry.
