Yes, that was my point, that in 2016, actors were using the feed and ad algorithms to influence the elections. The point I'm trying to make is that isn't what is happening now . Now we are seeing a large group of people freely sh

"Soft right wing" propaganda? I can't understand from your response what side you think I'm taking. In one point its "right wing" propaganda, in the other, I'm criticizing right wing media. I also complete

You should have the balls to stand up for your beliefs, and you admit you hide behind dog whistles, so why keep hiding. You hide your reasons behind the cloak. Again, its doesn't matter, I have a good idea on your defining characteris

The republicans would do what they normally do with homeless, they ship them to a different city. SF should put its homeless on buses to rural Texas, but they'd all just end up being moved to Austin by the local police.

People from other countries do not get welfare in the USA. that is a myth. The problem with 'SF' is people flocking from conservative areas in the US that have solved their homeless problem by literally bussing people to SF. http

To ignore the relation between homelessness, the high cost of housing, the gentrification as tech people like to live authentic and the absolute lack of building, and to pretend its welfare and the lack of guns is just blindness. People in
