Im sure this is misconstrued but what's scary is the people that are willing to say YEAH AS LONG AS IT SCREWS WITH THE RIGHT SO BE IT. No. We shouldn't use tribalism to allow us to support things we would despise on the other side. Luckily, this isnt even whats really happening but its scary people would be ok to support it if it was just because it was done against republicans

yeah it's insane and those people should be modded as hard as the people who troll with misinformation

What you make of that is up to you. Personally I do not think they would mention such a thing if they simply mean they are going to do a text message blast of some kind.

It doesn't make any sense to make anything of something so vague.

Good. This disease isn't a joke and Republicans treating it like it doesn't matter is getting really old. All they had to do was wear a mask and get a shot. you'd think it would be so simple but they had to keep fighting it out of spite, leading to stuff like this....Maybe republicans should stop lying about everything, then we won't have to worry about getting ahead of them to fact check their bull shit. and no, this isn't me saying "I WANT IT JUST TO FUCK REPUBLICANS"...it just so happens that they're the ones spreading the most misinformation and its becoming dangerous and violent. It needs to fuckin stop.

Probably not, but good thing Joe Numbers here is to just post facts so we can come to our own conclusions while he asserts his conclusions as reality. If you think he's wrong, put some money on the line and debate him with FACTS AND LOGIC.

I'll respond to you because I respect you.

I'm not posting misinformation. I am posting a paragraph from a politico article as it is written.

Be careful who around here you take at face value. There are many who are effectively gaslighters. If there is something I have said that you believe to be false let me know. If not, don't defer your judgements/opinions on things to some CE trolls, make up your mind for yourself.


Pretty much anybody who ethers you in debate and actually combats your efforts to spread misinformation and play devil's advocate is a "gaslighter" to you lol

Biden allied groups, including the Democratic National Committee, are also planning to engage fact-checkers more aggressively and work with SMS carriers to dispel misinformation about vaccines that is sent over social media and text messages.

This is terrifying for many reasons. Not the least of which is:
1. Fact checkers by their own admission have been wrong about things.
2. Once we open this Pandora's box no government/organization in power is going to put this genie back in the bottle.
I think the misinformation spreading about vaccination is really super harmful right now, not sure what youd suggest we do, lots of people are legit not smart enough to filter good and bad information and will just absorb anything that fits their narrative

something needs to be done, like this information needs to be censored the same way youre not allowed to use the word bomb in an aiport

We've been friends for a while now, and you know me well enough to know there was a point where I was conservative, or at least somewhat libertarian. I can assure you that conservatives had a lot of awful beliefs, but they weren't anti-vaxxers until recently. I had sneaking suspicions that would eventually sneak into their dogma because they fall for anything that constitutes "freedom" but generally speaking public health was one of the few things that conservatives tended to support.

It highlights a much bigger issue going on with conservatives, which is that their "anti-expert" dogma has no boundaries when the experts are inconvenient to their narrative. It's dangerous, and needs to be stamped out. Too many people went legally unpunished for the things they attempted in 2020 and 2021, and if given the opportunity, they will rewrite history to avoid the blame they deserve.

How about no. If this happens the next step for the government would be to monitor what everyone is saying. Then the jails start filling up more for saying something they dont like.

He's going a bit overboard with it, but you're off bat, too. The "what could come next" fear scenario, is just about everything awful that happened in history lol.

"Yeah, we are kicking the natives off their land, but it's not going to be anything more than that."

"Listen guys, we just want to move into the middle east to kill Hussein, okay?"

It's a very real thing, albeit not to the extent he is implying.

But you literally just did, you took a paragraph and posted it without context to push an agenda. If you actually read the whole article you would know that it is not doing what your title says it is doing.
