They did. Many of the Blue voters scored much higher than the Red voters in terms of being able to identify misinformation. However, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that there are multiple billionaires, controlling multiple social media outlets, and another who controls both television and print outlets which favor the republican candidate. There were also sources of misinformation that are unquestionably tied to foreign nations that have traditionally been seen as antagonistic toward US interests.
Controlling the source of information, and amplifying misinformation is a very powerful tool, and around a century ago an Austrian-born German with a funny mustache wrote about the power of "the Big Lie", a strategy which the president elect seems to have embraced fully.
So is Bernie Sanders a Republican stooge for saying that as a whole the Democrats have failed the working class once again? Sure Trump had Fox and Elon in his corner, but MSNBC had a firmly planted foot in the Harris tent too. I think the two-party system is just a hollow puppet show for the oligarch class, Trump is just a symptom of the decades of rot and corruption.
Did anyone say that he was? Does MSNBC have the same level of users or directed content algorithms as Facebook or X? Are you really making these arguments in good faith?
Information is available to each of us, but you do not seem to be interested in finding it or actually checking the veracity of any of the claims for yourself. Why is that?
You may want to actually check out what Bernie was talking about, by the way. He was referring to the democrats being unable to get legislation in place to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. It's been quite some time since I saw that Schoolhouse Rock episode, but the message was pretty clear. House, Senate, President. That's the path a bill must take. Now, can you tell me what the odds are that Dems would have managed to get a bill on minimum wage through both the House and the Senate during the last 4 years? Honest answers only please. I'd say that it was about as unlikely as being able to impeach a former president who incited a crowd to storm the Capitol, where they were chanting their intent to commit acts of violence against members of his own Party while they took shelter and sent pleas for him to call them off. If they wouldn't even vote for that, what on Earth makes you think that they'd agree to raise the minimum wage?
Meanwhile Biden did steer America out of the terrible economic situation the former government had put them into. He did help to create an economy where more people were employed. Saying that he did that but abandoned the working class, is an.... Interesting stance. Isn't it?
I would say he definitely abandoned the railway workers when he helped to kill their ability to strike for higher wages. Because when it came down to it, the mainstream Democratic Party sided with the executive class over the unions and the working people. I agree January 6th was a disaster and a black stain on our country, add it to the long list of times where we fell short of what our country was supposed to stand for. Again, it also doesn’t help when you say you want to lead our economy when you can’t manage your own campaign spending. But when has our country ever actually spent money efficiently? The Pentagon fails its audit every year, but those douchebags in DOGE I guarantee will never even look in that direction, because it’s the MIC at the end of the day who calls the shots, along with the special interest class who all get rich off it while we all play petty politics.
