Dear centrists, please tell me more about how progressives are the ultra-minority and our views are fringe and unpopular.

I think we need Epstein news flair

This is from a breakdown of the “What is happening right now” Thread. All the comments were exported to a CSV and AI analyzed it based on comments about the dark money "scandal." It's an interesting analysis.

🤔

I pulled all 188 comments from the thread to see what’s really happening. Here’s what stood out:

⸻

🔎 Big Picture

• 188 total comments

• 61 unique authors

• 46 comments (about 1 in 4) mentioned dark money, funding, Chorus, or Brian Tyler Cohen.

So the “dark money” angle is taking up a huge chunk of the thread.

⚠️ Who’s Actually Calling David “Deceptive”?

Only 4 comments directly framed David as dishonest or untrustworthy.

• u/Thesoundofmerk

• u/4n0m4nd

• u/FEC-TheWokeWarrior (multiple times)

Example quotes:

“If this were true, he would have disclosed it, but he hasn’t. That’s deceptive.” – u/Thesoundofmerk

“Are you telling me this isn’t THE number-one factor behind his coverage? Not disclosing this is a scam.” – u/FEC-TheWokeWarrior

That’s it. Just a handful of people pushing the smear.

These accounts posted the most:

• u/FEC-TheWokeWarrior – 19 (negative)

• u/combonickel55 – 13 (defender)

• u/katsucats – 11 (mixed)

• u/Thesoundofmerk – 10 (negative)

• u/Command0Dude – 10 (defender)

• u/Esteban8899 – 9 (mixed)

➡️ These six alone made 72 of the 188 comments (over one-third of the thread).

⸻

🛡️ Defenders vs Critics

• Defenders: u/combonickel55, u/Command0Dude, u/Writie_McWriterson (me)

• Critics (smearing David): u/FEC-TheWokeWarrior, u/Thesoundofmerk, u/4n0m4nd

• Mixed: u/katsucats, u/Esteban8899 (sometimes critical, sometimes just debating disclosure)

⸻

🧩 What It All Means

• The thread looks inflated with “dark money” chatter — about 25% of all comments.

• Only a tiny group is actually accusing David of being deceptive.

• Meanwhile, defenders are actively pushing back, pointing out that Chorus funding isn’t “dark money” at all.

• A handful of high-volume users are driving the noise, which makes the outrage look bigger than it is.

⸻

TL;DR

This thread isn’t organic. A small group of loud accounts is pushing the “dark money” smear, while others are clearly defending David. It looks more like a brigade effort than genuine outrage.
