    Do explain how Medhi Hasan is “the propaganda.” He doesn’t even work for any major media company. He founded his own company.

      He’s wrong anyway, the green party isn’t a threat to any of the parties, but it’s designed to shape off 1-3% off the democratic vote to help republicans.

            No, that commenter literally said they’re not a threat and then gave the exact reason the green party is a threat to democrats.

                Are you saying that something helping the republicans isn’t a threat to democrats? Or are you saying it’s not enough to help because you’ve already forgotten the lesson from 2000?

                    I don’t understand that conclusion. According to their table there, Gore lost by ~550 votes and Nader had over 90,000 votes. Do you really think those votes would have been evenly split?

                    No… Because I’m only referring to one post.

                    He’s wrong anyway, the green party isn’t a threat to any of the parties, but it’s designed to shape off 1-3% off the democratic vote to help republicans.

                    I’ll break it down for you. The first part of the post literally says this:

                    the green party isn’t a threat to any of the parties

                    And then the very next part of the same sentence is:

                    but it’s designed to shape off 1-3% off the democratic vote to help republicans

                    Which is exactly what I pointed out. It starts by saying the green party isn’t a threat and then gives the exact reason why it is a threat.

      Flying Squid you have been around here for enough time to know what propaganda is so don’t play the fool. There’s clearly a bias in which news get posted and reach the frontpage and that’s a direct and indirect result of the propaganda. How many news about third parties did you post up to a month ago?

        The “bias” on Lemmy is that people use their personal biases to post an article they feel is interesting. If other people agree, they upvote it.

        There’s no propaganda there. Lemmy just isn’t designed to cater to you personally.

          There’s no propaganda there.

          The fediverse has grown enough to draw biggest corporations in the world attention. Expect propaganda to be here too and expect people to repost here propaganda they get from other websites. I wonder where you got this news from.

            As a mod constantly dealing with spammers, I can tell you that that’s just a silly assertion.
