    Its absent from both major parties left or right. Both sides are absolutely drowning in propaganda. Very few people think critically, and when they do they are not celebrated.

      I strongly disagree. Yes, both sides are drowning in propaganda, and I’ve seen it on the left many times. However every single time, I’ve noticed someone speak up about it and it’s both a reminder that both sides have propaganda and also to not blindly believe everything. I do my best to verify facts for myself before believing any headline, and I’m sure at least half of other lefties do too. Compared to the right where if rarely someone speaks up about it, they are silenced.

        You could be right but I have seen the left silenced as well, mainly through account bans or community bans, or politicians mocking or shaming those with ideas they dont like.
