This community shares news and articles from a wide range of political perspectives—socialist, liberal, conservative, independent, libertarian, Green Party, Pirate Party, and more.

The goal isn’t to push one side but to give people a fuller picture of what's going on in the world.

You’ll find everything from mainstream coverage to underground analysis, letting you compare narratives, spot bias, and dig deeper into the facts.

It’s a place for curious thinkers, not echo chambers. Whether you lean left, right, or somewhere off the map entirely, the idea is to expose yourself to other viewpoints and sharpen your own thinking.

Civil discussion is encouraged, and the focus stays on good information and mutual respect—not name-calling or tribal politics.

So why spread this obvious propaganda from one of the worst news sources in the world?

It's not propaganda. I thought it was interesting. And I like the Daily Mail.

And I'm not "spreading" it anywhere. The Daily Mail as a much much larger audience that Lemmy. Lemmy is way too small to be accused of spreading anything.

I wouldn’t have ever seen this article if you didn’t post it here. And yes, it’s propaganda. Republican media outlets and politicians have been trying to push this concept prior to and following the election. When they come up with some idea like this, “I was a Democrat who switched to maga because maga is so great and democrats are MEAN to me”, and organize to push it in traditional and social media to manipulate people, that’s what propaganda is.

And yes, it’s propaganda.

So is anything that pro-republican going to be seen as "propaganda" by you? Are all the pro-Harris articles and pro democrat articles, "propaganda" as well?

I didn't write the article. It was about a gay guy who decided to vote Republican, after being a Democrat for a while.

Lemmy is a community where people post things that they find interesting. I thought the article was interesting. So I posted it. That's all there is to it. It's not some grand scheme on my part.

I totally respect your right not to like it or this community.
