“This has never been about politics,”
Coward. It absolutely was, and is, about politics. The misinformation has ALWAYS been political. Countering misinformation is inherently political. As someone who’s very existence is considered “political” I politely suggest we drop the apolitical angle and start getting fucking angry and aggressively political. I’m very glad there are organizations out there like his that are doing that work. Just be honest about it.
Thank you.
I think to a lot of people “political” means specifically picking sides between Republican/Democrat unfortunately, not talking about actual policy. That seems to be how they were using it here, considering they tried defending the claim by saying they’ve worked with Trump’s organization in the past.
I definitely agree though, people have every reason to get political (your version) these days, and it’s generally justified.
