Or did you want them to “study” something else
How is it you manage to continue to make stuff up so easily?


Again, any "left slant" you see is because that is the make up of the userbase that posts stuff. In order to show 50/50, they'd have to manipulate the algorithm to show a higher amount of right leaning posts, because there are fewer of them. They don't do that, so you don't see 50/50.


Is this, like, just too complicated for people to understand? I'm baffled at this point.
