I don't think it's working nearly as badly as you think.

If only the dead in the US could talk.

President Trump. I think it's gone pretty fucking badly.

Hits and misses. It worked great for Galileo.

Could you clarify what you mean by "it worked great" here?

I would assume he was referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_affair, where the "unchecked misinformation" was heliocentrism.

I'm pro-management of information on platforms but anti-this sort of management for these purposes.

Public health misinformation, sure. News articles? Hm.

I think it is stupid to not vote for Biden over something like this. But, I also don't think the articles I've seen "debunking" the NYPost article have been very compelling.

whimsicalism says >"I think it is stupid to not vote for Biden over something like this. "<

IMO Biden's likely to pass away before he's elected and so I think it foolish to vote for him. He looks like a dead man walking - a paper cutout that Democrats move from one empty rally to another.

BTW who becomes the Democratic party nominee should Biden

a) die or fall very seriously ill before the election?

b) die on the eve of the election (i.e., halfway through the voting, when some votes have already been cast for the deceased)?

c) die after the election but before he's sworn in as President?

I see Biden's health as extremely precarious.
