2020 Presidential Race

[AM64]

I know millions of people were duped. How much was Russian based propaganda and how much was good ol' red white and blue propaganda is not fully knowable. I personally know of a person that refused to vote for Clinton because of a misconception fostered through social media. (propaganda)

All things considered, I don't doubt that you have some pretty loony friends. If someone actually looks to social media for news and fact, it doesn't say much to their credibility or capacity to make rational decisions anyway.

Do you know how many voted for her because of misconception fostered through social media?

Your mom being duped isn’t something I’d brag about...

I wonder if it's too late for her to have an abortion.

Another of the great unknowables. That's why the studies showing the levels of misinformation supporting each candidate are so interesting....and important.
Yo can sort of extrapolate from there.

Not as much as most.

Hillary had a few decades of public corruption, I mean service, to judge her from, and it was a meme that changed this person’s mind??

That meme must have been brutal. Share it in the memes thread, Luth!

 

[volinbham]

so you are stronger minded than the others in your party - good thing you're around to think for them (and all of us).

Luther is misinformation.

It was the same misunderstanding I see propagated on here by many. There was no shortage of propaganda fueled ignorance.

I need to see it. You know, to check and make sure I don’t have the same misunderstanding.

 

[AirVol]

@luthervol you’re a school teacher right?

 

[volfanjustin]

They did influence the results. We just don't know by how much. I've said all along that Russia influencing the outcome is more palatable than the alternative possibility.

Officials have testified to Congress with different information

 

[volfanjustin]

@luthervol you’re a school teacher right?

that would make sense

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

If it's a word that gets you so riled up, then you've got bigger issues at hand.

Thank you for proving my entire point Cletus.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

He's just like the rest of us and wants to be able to say n****r.

I know that was meant to be in blue font, but just to be clear, it is the double standard that find offensive.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

I could have just told him he's being whiny over the fact that someone has a privilege he doesn't, welcome to the rest of the world, but that would have been cold.

No. It would have been stupid, but do go on.

The n word and cracker are not equivalents in any way, shape, or form.

 

[1972 Grad]

I guess cracker is meant to be an endearing term?

 

[tvolsfan]

I guess cracker is meant to be an endearing term?

No, it’s just benign. Does anybody seriously consider cracker a slur?

 

[Vol737]

When is the left going to understand that it had less to do with social media, misinformation, propaganda, etc. and waaaaay more to do with the fact that Hillary sucked in every way?

That’s fair. I don’t believe Russians were the main factor in Trump being elected. It’s still something to investigate and prevent. I’m not sure why Trump is making it harder to prevent interference in the 2020 election.

 

[GAVol]

Lol... At least your ego is in check.

The way it is used... your damn straight
