  • You insist on “what is wrong in this article” .

    One of the things that popaganda does is sprinkling some real stuff to attract new people and then slowly feed them more lies.

    It doesn’t matter if you stumble upon a few good articles with real quotes - the whole thing must be avoided to reduce traffic in their direction. The proper response is to find a different source with the same quotes.

    This is thinking critically. If you know it’s from a propagandist, don’t give them more food. Your version of “thinking critically” is just “listen to the people who sound more convincing, even you know they are liars and you can’t find if this specific article has lies or not” .












  • Thing is, the Republicans are lying. So when you quote their excuse verbatim and put them on the same level of truth and representation, you are spreading a lie / propaganda.

    Republicans are not doing gerrymandering to counter Democrats gerrymandering. They are doing it to silence opposition, over-value their voters, steal power, and abuse the law-making and law-enforcing system. And they claim that they are following the law.

    No, Democrats removing undue power by placing equal representation back on top is not the same thing. They are saying the same thing on the surface, but one side is obviously lying, and when you say they use the same thing, you ARE acting like the excuse has the same value as the truth. And if you wanted to spin it as “they both makethe same claim / use the same excuse” , now you’re casting doubt on the veracity of the Dem’s argument, which is also inappropriate. The only spin that would make sense is to say that Dems are correct and Reps are lying by making the same claim.

    That’s why you get downvoted.
