😊

2020-11-26 00:29:39 UTC  

HA!

2020-11-26 00:29:51 UTC  

We're on the same page.

2020-11-26 00:30:02 UTC  

Look at what they aren't reporting.

2020-11-26 00:33:21 UTC  

if you don't have a TV its easy to not listen to MSM 😛

2020-11-26 00:33:27 UTC  

TV? nooo

2020-11-26 00:33:31 UTC  

internet? yes

2020-11-26 00:34:30 UTC  

that's true but the mainstream still has a lot of pull, many people don't follow anything else

2020-11-26 00:34:56 UTC  

we're not at a point that we can just ignore it

2020-11-26 00:35:24 UTC  

When you live with someone who only listens to MSM & CNN for ‘news’ it’s infuriating

2020-11-26 00:36:13 UTC  

@Beth want some help with that?

2020-11-26 00:36:33 UTC  

Yes please 🙈

2020-11-26 00:37:04 UTC  

Understand that the data we have been exposed to is who we are, and who we are determines what political standpoint our emotions absorb.

2020-11-26 00:37:35 UTC  

your flatmate/spouse has been exposed to different data than you have.

2020-11-26 00:37:41 UTC  

That's all it is.

2020-11-26 00:39:00 UTC  

Why is that a source for frustration?

2020-11-26 00:39:59 UTC  

my wife mainly reads CNN website

2020-11-26 00:40:04 UTC  

and watches Colbert

2020-11-26 00:40:09 UTC  

it's tough

2020-11-26 00:40:20 UTC  

But even when I show the data I’ve seen it’s like talking to a wall... I find any form of media gaslighting extremely frustrating. I am aware that I have a bias... I really don’t like Biden

2020-11-26 00:41:02 UTC  

Note how I said "emotions absorb political standpoint" @Beth ?

2020-11-26 00:41:09 UTC  

No belief system is rational.

2020-11-26 00:41:16 UTC  

Socrates showed that.

2020-11-26 00:41:47 UTC  

You presenting data is a drop in the sea compared to what your opponent have absorbed over a lifetime.

2020-11-26 00:42:02 UTC  

Yes, you sound like a very intelligent person in psychology?

2020-11-26 00:42:15 UTC  

Im a psychiatrist.

2020-11-26 00:42:19 UTC  

But this is free.

2020-11-26 00:42:24 UTC  

That’s a very good point

2020-11-26 00:42:36 UTC  

Doc's the bomb...

2020-11-26 00:42:48 UTC  

(That's a good thing)

2020-11-26 00:42:56 UTC  

haha

2020-11-26 00:43:02 UTC  

bombs are always good.

2020-11-26 00:43:23 UTC  

@Beth You present gigabytes. A lifetime is Yogibytes. No way you can compete.

2020-11-26 00:43:24 UTC  

I have to make sure I don't make any assumptions with the colloquialisms..

2020-11-26 00:43:29 UTC  

I’m new to politics this year.. The pandemic/lockdowns was the door opening for me so I’m looking at this with fairly fresh eyes

2020-11-26 00:43:37 UTC  

The only thing you achieve, @Beth , is frustration, yes?

2020-11-26 00:44:06 UTC  

Yes!

2020-11-26 00:44:08 UTC  

I agree but I also think this is the challenge that makes or breaks it

2020-11-26 00:44:14 UTC  

there you go, @Beth

2020-11-26 00:44:25 UTC  

if you can't get your party to stop consuming the opposition party newspapers, you are screwed
