”This helps take away votes from Joe Biden,” the activist told one person at the rally, according to a video posted to X (formerly Twitter) by a Washington Post reporter. “We’re helping the Trump team who’s trying to get him on there,” added a woman by his side.
the op already makes it clear that it’s discussing other people being Republican operatives. the comment to which you responded is spreading misinformation.
Misinformation would be if there were no Republican operatives at all.
In West’s case, yes, there very much ARE operatives at work, and the campaign is choosing to ignore that fact.
So while West himself is not an operative, he is actively benefiting from the operatives working for his campaign and choosing not to do anything about it.
I wouldn’t remove a comment saying “Trump is a Russian asset” for the same reason.
so the ban on misinformation isn’t an objective rule, just something capriciously moderated.
It’s not misinformation if it’s mostly true.
it’s a single clause. it’s a simple sentence. and it’s false.
If West refuses to remove the Republican operatives from his campaign, he’s actively working with them.
There is not a lot of daylight between that and saying he’s an operative himself.
Is he benefiting? Yes.
Is he aware of who is benefiting him? Yes.
Is he doing anything about it? No.
Substitute Trump and Russia.
Comment stands.
it’s objectively false. it took you 50 words to do enough mental gymnastics to stick that landing. I can’t wait til .world dies.
It is not “objectively false” if West continues directly working with Republican operatives.
If you want to support West, that’s fine, but you need to recognize the reality of the situation.
it is false now, and I don’t believe it’s honest to say he’s working with them now.
your capricious moderation will kill this community
