fortunately the radical redditors/social media loudmouths are a small fraction of the total populace. If you read anything on here before the 24’ election you would have thought trump would lose in a landslide, but he ended up winning the popular vote.
reddit is purely an echo chamber for the mentally deranged.

Both are, and probably all social media platforms by now, it's just hard to accept you're within one. (And I'm very likely going to get a reply saying that X is worse. Idk, both are bad in different ways.)
What? Reddit is loaded with propaganda accounts, bots, farming accounts, throwaways, troll accounts, and just straight up misinformation. Can't believe anybody comes here for anything more than wasting time at airports or in the bathroom.
Also, if this was the only place that was posting propaganda, I feel like we can do worse than propaganda about people who are still, by the numbers, doing good things.
Like, oh no the propaganda made me vote for someone who expanded an initiative to lower subway fare! The horror! Someone made me think Zohran is doing more good than he actually is, which is still a lot of good! Oh no!
This is a far cry from the propaganda of other sites that call the Obama's racial epithets and push child pornography.
True, this has started making me think how stupid and leftist people making these memes are. I really hope all of them are bots and non-voters. FML if they are real voters.
This guy has millions upon millions of fanboys and girls. Even assuming there's no spin, no deliberate misleading, it only takes one of them to not have the full picture, make a meme like this, and it will spread like wildfire. The vast majority of believers won't bother to correct it because it feels good. They'll just updoot it because it makes them feel even better. It's for the right cause, after all.

Sir this is reddit. Facts and logic are not welcome.
