You know nothing about who is commenting; the “Marlene, mother of 4” could actually be Moe, the Cascadian Sasquatch who had never actually spoken to a human besides the comcast guy he terrified into hooking up his service. Or a bot. You don’t know.
It’s just lazy ass journalism. Leave your keyboard and go talk to some real god damn people. -

@glennmagusharvey@sakurajima.moe and that’s really it too. there is also so many people on the internet that you can always find someone making the point you want. At that point, what are you doing? You’re just grabbing a random sound bite to sound journalisty.
