(2,680 posts)68. I like the full time counter-propaganda task force idea.
I started doing a lot of fact checking about eight years ago, and shared it on a social media platform. Others found it helpful because it gave them the ammunition to shoot down the propaganda and disinformation coming from those that had been brainwashed.
I even checked in on the RW media to see what current lies and propaganda they were cooking up. It was nauseating to watch, but I felt I was doing a public service.
I have thought about starting a fact checking blog or something.

Your words are very true. As you well know, many elections are won by 2-3 percent and less.

totally agree. There is nothing wrong with Dem values, and I will never apologize for them. Kamala/ Walz rocked it.
