ot3:

hey guys i was at a protest tonight and there was a guy in the crowd lying to the protesters saying he was getting signatures for a petition that was to get an initiative on the ballot to ‘stop people from losing jobs at the voting polls’ but when i went to read it it was VERY much an initiative to limit voting rights for undocumented people.

i asked him a lot of questions to try and get an explanation because i didn’t want to assume bad faith, but he wouldn’t answer my clearly and kept getting cagier as we went on. he got in yelling match with another guy for the same thing later. it’s pretty obvious that he was lying to manipulate these people for signatures 

so i just wanna take a moment to remind you all that you really need to fact check everything you’re told. even if someone is a leftist, actual or self-proclaimed, you need to be willing and able to question the things they tell you to make sure it’s true. don’t be an easy target. keep your eyes open!
