People are more likely to lie about their voting intentions when the media create a climate of moral stigma around their candidate. I am sure this is going to happen in the uk too. The Democrats have run the wrong campaign.
- Cshelton 10y agoAhh, exactly. I think this kind of thing is quite dangerous. When people become afraid to say what they think and/or get berated when they do, it's a very dangerous climate. For any side. All of the sudden people start to believe something they actually don't believe in because of this stigma. The current state of the media is the worst. Do I know how to fix it....I wish. We live in a world of headlines...And it's too easy to put almost any information you want to appeal to your viewer base, despite how inaccurate it may be. Tough problem. I saw a great "life pro tip" recently: If the News it telling you how to feel, it's not news. Always remember that.
