According to @ppfideas.bsky.social democracy in the UK and US is just 100 years old. With the media landscape and social media landscape we have now can it continue?
Lying has become normalised, with no real world penalties. How can citizens vote sensibly if they can’t trust what they see and read?

So far I've been underwhelmed, if anything this place is more hateful than t'other.
