Great (long!) article about trump's campaign pushes the envelop in disinformation. A few of many interesting excerpts... The Billion-Dollar Disinformation Campaign to Reelect the President How new technologies and techniques pioneered by dictators will shape the 2020 election https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/03/the-2020-disinformation-war/605530/
trump repeats yet another lie... but raises the question, what insane thing will trump do if he loses in November?
Trump campaign posted picture from 2004 claiming it was Trump taking off from the Daytona 500 in AF1 (It was Bush). https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/16/politics/parscale-tweet-daytona-500-air-force-one-photo/index.html
My gosh... why would trump's campaign team feel the compulsion to spread such an inane and easily disproven lie... oh yea, we actually do know... https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/16/politics/parscale-tweet-daytona-500-air-force-one-photo/index.html
I posted this in the Bernie M4A thread but figured this would be a good place too. An example of gaslighting on healthcare in the debates. I can't get over how Biden told the American people that his healthcare plan only cost 750 billion per decade in comparison to Bernie's plan costing 30 trillion per decade. Biden legitimately suggested that his healthcare plan would only cost the American people 75 billion a year by phrasing the comparison the way he did. We currently spend 3.5 + trillion per year on our healthcare. Have I gone mad or does every candidate proposing "medicare for all who wants it/public option/build on ACA" always leave that out of their "very not pie in the sky fiscally responsible plan" speech? 3.5+ trillion per year, that's (you guessed it) 35 trillion per decade (5 trillion more then Bidens 30 trillion # for M4A) for our current healthcare system that leaves over 80+ million Americans un or underinsured, that leaves 30k+ dead per year due to lack of access, 500k Americans bankrupt, and attributes a lot to some of America's abysmal health outcomes compared to the majority of high developed countries. But don't worry, uncle Joe is going to add a measly 75 billion per year to this plan and that will totally fix the majority of these problems, at a fiscally responsible price of 35.75 trillion that Americans can afford unlike crazy Bernies silly 30 trillion dollar M4A plan that we can't afford. The moderates are lying about their healthcare plans. They disingenuously throw out how much the federal government would spend on a single-payer PUBLIC healthcare plan while comparing it to "their" plans which are majority PRIVATE plans that don't show up on federal budgets. They don't mention that the American people are going to spend just as much if not more on our current healthcare system. They spit and lie in the face of the American people every time they try to pretend M4A costing "30+ trillion" is some sort of disgusting gigantic number that is so much more then what we are spending.
The latest I'm seeing from my Trump friends on Facebook is supposedly Osama Bin Ladin saying that Democrats elect followers of his to Congress.
It's all true. There are so many followers of Bin Ladin elected to congress. Congress if full of them.
They have nothing...al they can do is continue to rerun the same things over and over and hope they get lucky.
And yet you have to support this walking corpse who is going against Mr Trump on tonight’s debate. Bizarre?
Easily, it’s not even close.Think about how shitty Trump is for me to say that. I know Biden isn’t going to push for and accomplish the things this countries needs, I know he’s neoliberal corporatist who won’t put the people first. And Trump is still WAY worse. Threatening our already incredibly weak democracy, completely disregarding our environment and climate change, completely **** the bed with coronavirus which killed tens of thousands, uber corrupt, no interest in working class people. If Biden is 2 bags of trash, Trump is 20 bags of trash. Don’t be a fake woke “I know how to criticize both sides I’m not a fanboy”person who completely ignores the total abortion that is Trump and the right wing in America right now. Millions have lost their healthcare under Trump, act like you give a ****.
So help me to understand this brother, by supporting this corpse, you will guarantee another 4 years of Mr Trump? Candidates do matter. If you guys had someone other than Killary in 2016, Mr Trump may not have been president, she was that awful. You guys are repeating the same mistake with this memory care patient. It sure is a head scratcher!
