        If the connection isn't clear the problem may be unfamiliarity with the terms or with shareblue.

            Okay. Personally I feel it is related enough.

        It's only disturbing if you haven't paid attention to how both political parties

        Posting about an organization doing something negative to benefit one political party is not a demonstration of inattention. "Disturbing" would be a stretch even if you were right about me.

        I appreciate the point that you're making but I already agree with you. Bringing this specific example of misconduct back to "well everyone does it, what is special about this?" can distract and create apathy surrounding the issue.

      Yes it is. The recent case of pushing Ivanka Trumps alleged email misconduct and resulting conversation into "calling out the far right for some imagined hypocrisy" is evidence to me.

          It may totally be. It depends for whom you are assuming is demonstarting hypocritical behavior.

          But you're asking me to disprove a claim you haven't justified.

          Demonstrate how it is. Show how Ivanka Trump demonstarted fake outrage at Hillarys misconduct or a profession of her dedication to government info sec protocol.

            You're posting outdated studies to claim Ivanka's recent scandal is irrelevant.

            Shareblue was caught red-handed multiple times over. They were blatant. Even r/politics had enough of their crap. Maybe I haven't paid close enough attention, but I haven't heard much from them in the past year. If you want current evidence of liberal disinformation and astroturfing, I got you covered. The catch is I'll also provide a mountain of conservative disinformation to accompany it.

            Regarding Ivanka, it's not the exact same thing as Hillary. It's similar. To say there's no hypocrisy when her father campaigned on "but her emails" and "lock her up" and "you'd be in jail" demonstrates bias on your part.

            a profession of her dedication to government info sec protocol

            Irrelevant. If she's unaware of the Hillary email scandal and the fact that government employees should use government email for government work, she's dumber than even I thought.

              Sigh.... Like I've said elsewhere on Tildes. Ivanka should be investigated and prosecuted by a high standard of justice.

                Key difference is her dad campaigned on it and she's part of the administration.

              You also just posted the details of the case with no clear connection to fulfilling the definition of hypocrisy in a legitimate way given the prior context.

                  We started here:

                  "It may totally be. It depends for whom you are assuming is demonstarting hypocritical behavior."

                  You are driving home a point that I am not even arguing. I said it depends who you apply it to, and unmentioned but obviously with what scope you choose.

                  Ivanka is so unimportant. The point was it is being used to make Hillarys situation look more favorable. A difficult job I can imagine.
