Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Its so funny, democrats continually completely denied Bidens actually obvious mental problems. But they have been claiming Trumps mental decline, since, like beginning, and its just propaganda bs... I will make concession though because he is 79 damn years old, and yeah I think thats probably too old. There should be some kind of damn age limit. I hope we get a 35 yo president next...
Denied? You know he was replaced right?
What? Yeah, he was when Trump became president? What are talking about "replaced".
You people know nothing...
Is English your first language?
Ah, you lost the argument so you devolve into insults, good show. Carry on.
It wasn't an insult. I seriously can't understand what you are asking and was curious if you were a native speaker or not.
Okay. Fine... what can I explain for you? No more bs.
I don't need any explanation from you. I fully understand how you don't make sense to anyone.
Lol. Wow okay. Thanks for wasting our time friend. I pray God to reveal himself to yoh.
I'm not wasting my time or yours. I was trying to clarify what you meant and you continue to not make sense. It's not personal. Your writing doesn't translate into comprehension. I hope you enjoy your day.
And you're still being insulting son. Begone already
I'm being matter of fact. If you're insulted it might be because you have it internally.
It's not propaganda though. I agree they were hiding bidens mental decline. But the fact this old farts on death's doorstep get to run the country is fucking tragic. Thank god I was not born in the US
... this is exactly propaganda. Making claims about a president's health, obviously saying he isnt mentally fit to lead... how is that not propaganda? It doesn't matter if you be believe it to be true or not, thats not a factor. They are making the claim to ultimately push their agenda, its propaganda.
It can be hard too see, from... certain angles, sometimes.
By that measure everything ever is propaganda
Everything is Propaganda even if true and positive. Its meant to Propagate a set of information or ideas. We just hear it always used as a negativeconnotations.
The distinction used for the textbook definition of propaganda is essentially to set a narrative the way you want it to by hammering in a specific story with your angle (typically by flooding the relevant channels of communication with variants of your story). Controlling perception.
Regular communication which isn't that isn't propaganda.
I.e. We have Propaganda ads for our National healthcare system being helpful, free, and serving people. Its put out by the system that is represents. It is by definition propaganda, even though it is true and a beneficial kind.
Yeah, many things do fit that description
Maybe, but this is the correct opinion.
Like AOC? Or would you prefer someone with more Nazi ties?
