Disinformation is the deliberate use of lies to manipulate people, whether to extract profit or to advance a political agenda. Its unwitting accomplice, misinformation, is spread by unknowing dupes who repeat lies they believe to be true. In America today, both forms of falsehood are distorting our perception of reality.
In a democracy, the people need a shared set of facts as a basis to debate and make decisions that advance and secure their collective interests. Differences of opinion, and even propaganda, have always existed in the United States, but now, enemies of democracy are using disinformation to attack our sovereign right to truthful information, intellectual integrity, and the exercise of the will of the people. Online disinformation is particularly insidious because of its immediacy, its capacity to deceive, and its ability to reach its target.
I think they’re talking about who won the last election and whether covid vaccines are harmful, but ok … Can’t even start to address the Israel lobby until fptp voting and the ec are abolished
Get your priorities and timelines straight.
Denying and facilitating a brutal Genocide is a bit more extreme than saying they’re turning the frogs gay.
I’d say the Genocide thing has priority.
This would matter more if the other party didn’t outright cheer for and support that genocide.
You commend hypocrisy?
You realize this kind of response just makes people ask if our “democracy” is even worth defending at this point. If discussions about supporting genocide “don’t matter” then it’s already over. We lost.
Biden and establishment democrats will never allow this. I really wish people would stop saying this as if it’s some kind of viable solution. It has no more chance of becoming reality than medicare for all with the current power structures in place. They either need to change or we need a different approach.
