   Yes it’s BuzzFeed and a listicle but this is really good insight into the varieties of thought processes in the independent sector.

     The classic liberal fallacy is the belief that what the low-information voter needs is more information.

     @sanguish @Cdespinosa Which kind of confirms that MEME-BASED PROPAGANDA WORKS. Low-information voters who don’t follow the news are susceptible to these short-circuit memes that are planted all over social media.

     @drahardja @Cdespinosa Same. To the point that I feel tight right now. They’re closet maga.

     I don’t get how the body autonomy for Covid is relevant (which I’m not sure Biden has really pushed for years) when balanced against having total control over a woman’s reproductive health.

     also they seem to be falling for the “the economy sucks” line that isn’t true.

     same with the immigration thing.

     @Cdespinosa I found it frustrating to read the rationalizations people provided for voting Trump, especially Gus, who complained that Dems weren’t sending money to hurricane victims, when it was their Republican representatives who voted down FEMA funding. I guess the 73/21 split reflects the idea that about one in five US voters will vote for Republicans no matter how horrible they become.
