A new influence network of PACs, rich donors, and consultants is taking advantage of increasingly threadbare campaign finance law to pour millions into Democratic campaigns, aiming to elect leaders committed to returning the party to the “moderate” middle.

    Thanks for sharing. Dark money and broken campain finance laws pave the way toward oligarchy. It’s necessary that journalists shine a light on this so US citizens have a chance to fix it, and serve as a cautionary tales to other countries.

        You forgot to add the Red wave in '28 if the Dems capture congress and sit on their hands again like the Biden years.

            It’s helpful for the new kids to lay out the ratchet theory in an easily digestible way before we do it again.

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.

Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.

What’s the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.

By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.
