I remember them doing this all the time back when they first went in the air. It's part of what actually made me aware of politics. I was doing a school report on some local politician that got in legal trouble and they did a story covering the same politician which seemed exciting at the time. I was shocked that they listed the republican politician as a Democrat, thought for sure they would issue a correction for such an embarrassing and obvious mistake. A few days later as a text footnote at the end of one of their broadcasts they finally "corrected themselves". But I was paying attention now and they did this all the time. If the scandalized politician was not known nationally they would accidentally report the wrong party to try and make the Dems look bad.

Don't worry. It won't catch up to your head start.

It is kind of telling how emotionally fragile republicans are based on how the deplorables comment devastated them.

Hard to fit the wholesome part of the phrasing into that take but I guess I can see it.

Ah, I follow now.

"wholesomely uneducated". Walk me through that one please.

Suburban and rural Ohio, so wannabe south. Maybe they are amping things up to 11 or trying to act like what they think is southern but there are a lot of guys at the local ranges that fit the stereotypes too well. There are for sure the ones that think the way you say but I'd put it at best at like 50%

99% doesn't match my experience with the community at all.

The way memes work, yes it is wrong. Memes have a core structure or theme that variations are made around. Changing that core only really works if making a new meme or if making intentional commentary on the original meme itself. In this case by having nothing more than their preferred ranking of distros the creator has actually made themselves the target that the original meme would be making fun of.

Right, no one has ever hurt or even killed themselves because they couldn't handle the stress of their job...

Well that's different than what you asked before but ok. The president doesn't create new laws. That's the job of the legislature. Currently the republicans hold more seats in the house and in the senate there's 48 Dem, 49 Rep, and 3 Ind. So not likely to produce anything about abortion other than trying to ban it. It doesn't look like anyone else is going to be a real contender to run in Biden's place and anyone from the republican side would clearly be worse and would greenlight any anti-abortion bills that legislature would try to pass. So the obvious and adequate answer is that when Biden's term is up we are going to have to vote for him again because there are no better options and the legislature is not in a state that will work to protect pro-choice rights but is in a state where it could try to limit those rights. Also, Biden was sworn in on Jan 20th 2021 so he hasn't had 4 years yet.

Because presidents serve for a limited number of years.

I didn't say that I trust conservatives just that vox was reporting that those conservatives were publishing an article on that topic. You seem to think that some part of that is propaganda, or more likely you are saying random things that you think make you sound smart. It's working sweety boomer, really.

You did not imagine that. I remember back when Google was being obnoxious about that. They cut it out years ago though, possibly after some bad pr over it.

I had kinda the opposite experience using Bard. It made up random technical details for the questions I asked. It assured me that it knew the contents of a document that it didn't have access to and generated what it claimed was information from that document rather than saying it couldn't read it and didn't know.

Aw sweety, just because you don't like hearing something doesn't make it propaganda. Which part of two conservative lawyers from the federalist society are publishing an article about Trump's ineligibility to run again do you think isn't true?

Well let's be honest, you stopped reading long before that.

This might be because you are not clearly conveying what you mean. You brought up east vs west and north vs south but didn't really say in what they don't understand each other. You should consider taking the hostility down a notch.

So if you acknowledge that it's a rural versus urban issue and not a geographic East versus West issue then how does splitting the country up into two or three other countries help?

Whinnying would probably contribute more to the conversation though.
