    She’s somewhat got a point still
    Democrats have become complacent in letting the repub’s hysteria spread like a bad virus.
    We got no one left to blame but ourselves atp, right?

      No. You’re the exact opposite of right. Also the exact opposite of smart.

        I didn’t claim to be smart, but I’m also not seeing anyone spell out how I’m wrong either.

          At no point is one group accountable for another group’s actions in cases like this.

          How’s that?

          “It’s not my fault for spreading misinformation, hysteria, and making overt moves to oppress others. It’s your fault for not stopping me.”

          Validating and correcting information takes time, research, and evidence. Spewing garbage only requires a mouth and optional amplification.

          Bullshit is impossible to stop this way because it travels faster than the corrections. By the time the crap is addressed, there are people who will still believe it in the face of evidence and in defiance of reality, and in the meantime, six more pieces of bullshit to debunk have popped up.

            Worst of all, the people that need to hear the debunking live in a right-wing media universe where they’ll never hear an honest take on it, or never hear about it at all.

            I know I’m messing this quote up, but “A lie can travel around the world a half dozen times before the truth finishes tying its shoes.”

          So, basically you’re saying is that you’re right by default because no one is willing to challenge your opinion? When in reality, it’s easier to just down vote then address such nonsense.

            I don’t think that’s what I’m ‘basically saying’ I was just highlighting that if I’m wrong, no one has made it known to me or others specifically why I’m wrong or on what grounds. This has been a fun experiment to see what insults and downvotes can be hurled over a lot of nothing.

              Trying to put yourself above others by claiming all of this was some sort of elaborate “joke” really is not good look for you.

                Apologies, but we are temporary text passed via electrons–I promise I didn’t intend to position myself above others as a joke. I don’t know who’s worried about how they look on the fediverse, but that would be kinda silly, wouldn’t you agree?
