@mattyglesias Yeah, the current equilibrium is: most things that indeed are disinformation get flagged as disinformation, but so are a bunch of things that aren't disinformation, trust in media keeps going down, which probably doesn't cost Ds elections but has other serious adverse effects. — PolitiTweet.org

The theory that "misinformation" has changed electoral outcomes in the US is pretty badly underbaked, especially given that the last several elections have broadly been in line with what you might expect given underlying economic conditions, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Of course people believe some crazy shit! And yet, Democrats won big in 2018 and narrowly in 2020. And they won the popular vote in 2016 and the close result was right in line with what economic models predicted. So, the *electoral* impact of misinformation is pretty ambiguous. — PolitiTweet.org

@NateSilver538 Nate, I mean this seriously: Go outside. Talk to some people. See what they actually believe. It's pretty wild.
