Genocide denial in the face of obvious genocide is genocide support.
Clinton remains the de facto head of the centrist wing of the party, and she's telling everyone the only thing they've ever been about.
This is the quote from Clinton. She's bringing up the dangers of media manipulation, and this article's headline kinda proves her point.
All I see is the Queen of the Centrists assuming anyone who disagrees with her must be stupid or gullible instead of absolutely right.
So basically a centrist acting like every other centrist I've ever encountered. Dead wrong and arrogant about it.
She doesn't say anything close to that actually, try to read the article again in a more matter-of-factly way. Your completely legitimate political opinions -I don't particularly like Hillary Clinton myself- shouldn't prevent you from judging what she says fairly.
"You're taking what he's saying out of context! That's not what he meant!" -trump supporters.
Now that Harris moved the needle to 2016 Republicans, it's now time for the DNC brainwormed shitlibs to say that anything that the DNC told them is Fake News. You can't pay rent? Fake news! Line went up!
Huh? I'm not a Trump supporter nor a Clinton supporter. What are you going on about?
You're supporting clinton (because she supports the genocide you live for) and acting like a trump supporter to do it.
No it doesn't. She's blaming social media for actually getting the truth out there. She's been at the center of US politics for decades, in the White House for a lot of the time. She's just panicking because the narrative that she's been part of pushing is crashing down.
Misinformation is a problem, yes. And traditional media also reports misinformation. Here is how responsible actors react to misinformation.
Tiktok is probably a more unbiased source compared to western media.
If that actually is your opinion, then you're the living proof that Clinton is right. Social media is completely full of disinformation, misinformation and hybrid threats from Russia, China and many more.
Look at the 2024 Romanian presidential election.
I'm more worried about hybrid threats from Americans. China never bombed or invaded our corner of the world.
Correct, it's why Congress tried to ban it until it became Trump approved propaganda. It was unbiased, and had to be for American ears.
On that very particular point she's not wrong. The collapse of trustworthy news sources and the rise of social media is bad for getting the truth out.
I'd like to get to where we can verify and validate citizen reporting consistently.
Definitely, that's why I'd be in favour of banning TikTok and requiring all social media platforms to have stronger fact checking mechanism.
Though, the only real solution is to improve the cognitive skills of the population starting when they're children.
