1300% impact - but good or bad impact?
They are always very vague about exactly what they mean -- but I'm really glad I never let them save my CC info back when I first donated years ago. But he's like herpes no matter how many times I take myself off email lists etc - it comes back again and again and again...1300% impact - but good or bad impact?
Political satire is an important tool in healthy democracies. Sure, there is some bias, but when one side has such a wealth of insanity that makes it frequently difficult to know if something is satire or real and is actively encouraging their base with outright lies, it's pretty easy targets.
So who is encouraging this here. I don't understand your post.
One side?
Bill Maher is a good example.
Fair enough, but when you look at Fox news outputs and compare it to CNN, there are biases both ways, but there seem to be a lot more blatant lies/truth spinning on Fox, and the 'stolen election' campaign is completely unfounded. Seeing the damages against Alex Jones hit $1.4 billion and going has restored a bit of faith, and there is something like $3B in lawsuits against the lawyers who said the voting machines were rigged.
As long as the default response to anyone with a dissenting opinion being "stupid", or "idiot", or "moron", or my personal favourite "unacceptable views" is commonplace and allowed to slide, people are going to get their hackles up and push back. It's hard not to take it personally when such personal language is used, no?
I never said it didn't. The fastest way to get people behind hating your enemy and doing shitty things to them is to debase them and make them less than you. They're not really people, at least not our sort of people, no loss if they went away somehow.
Some of those primary winners won with Democratic backing: money, and open primary votes. Democrats have in the past encouraged members to switch registration to vote in closed Republican primaries; not sure how much that was used to effect this year. They own a piece of conspiracy-spinning lunatics in the general, and they own a piece of denying a better choice to the voters.
And the difference between regions of the country is also small, but we paint whole swaths of the map in favour of a party winner who may only have captured a third of the vote.
