Trump granted more corrupt pardons of any president.

Why things cannot get cannot get better, voter knowledge.

"Democrats are spending Social Security money on immigrants," something my mother-in-law believes because she saw it on Facebook. She is not smart enough or willing to, read a major newspaper.

@Bix someone posted a facebook video of Heather Cox Richardson that explains that , the misinformation in social media mainly X and Facebook, some people believe anything, they don’t do fact checking.

There’s plenty of unsourced info on CoSo too.

If you care about this platform, please stop posting shit you picked up on other platforms that are not sourced.

Memes count too as they are easily copied & reposted.

Disinformation from either side is still disinformation.

@LnzyHou @Bix I use this as my main source of information, people here care more about facts, I’m sure some of it is unsourced but not much .

You’re kidding right?

Almost every geographic chart I’ve seen on blue v red voting, gender voting etc are unsourced. If you ask for source, you get crickets.

Or worse, you are told to do your own research.

Not acceptable.

@LnzyHou @Bix I haven’t seen any, maybe because I haven’t been really active, between my job and me wanting to stay away from the news I haven’t been here as much as I should, this is still the best platform.

No question. Which is why I fiercely protect it.

@LnzyHou yes. I also inquired about source for that map. It's not correct.

Please continue to demand sources. I have started to block folks who tell me to do my own research. Or ghost me.

It is not my job, to validate another’s meme.

It’s their’s.

Agree 100%! Having said that ... for most folx I will still check. Many/most of my friends here, no need. Plus I know if I make a mistake, one of you will call me out & that's invaluable. For the record, I have *never* felt demeaned or bullied by this - just relieved to be saved from my own oversight.
