In reply to the discussion: A plea for all DUers who haven't already done so. Drop Facebook like a rock, please? [View all]hlthe2b
(102,276 posts)I (and several others) have made entreaties to do so over the past several months because FB (especially) is no friend to truth or fairness, and is in the pocket of Trump and his ilk.
You will get all kinds of outrage and "self-righteous" indignation from some (the same ones typically) over your suggestion that they should be "inconvenienced" by dropping FB because they only use it to share pictures with their long lost high school buds and family members and that because THEY never get political fake news ads from FB, due to their blocking software there is no problem. Every damned thread. Well, guess what? Our opponents only care about disseminating their hate and lies to the masses who DO read their crap, may not know better and are fully susceptible. As long as you support FB, they have that platform.
Ahh, I see a new post now that proves my point.
