Without question.

Thank you for mansplaining key theoretical elements of my lived professional experience to me. However, you are making a category error. You seem to be under the impression that Twitter is still primarily a business that exists to create an operating profit, and that by staying on the platform, politically active and news aware people who object to its takeover as a propaganda platform are making it more successful. Neither of those things are true. You also seem to be under the impression that leaving Twitter is working on some level as a political isolation strategy, and it’s not. It’s only isolating progressives.
-
I certainly hope so, but the chances of political conflict moving into the physical realm are exceptionally high and for some populations we’re already there. As usual, white progressives will be the last to recognize it, until they in the crosshairs, precisely because they have largely withdrawn from right wing spaces.
-
No. The venue is everywhere. All channels, all spaces. You tube for one thing, Twitter for another, and so on. It is asymmetric and asynchronous opposition that forces them to play whack-a-mole and exhausts their capacity for containment while forcing their divisions open.
-
Well I’m still on Twitter, so I’m not sure you are coming from a position of authority on this one. Wait. Stop. You think you win a propaganda fight with an existential threat through meaningful conversation. Do you understand what’s at stake here? The British will NOT allow the colonies to assemble militia on Lexington common. Honestly surprised you think that’s possible, Captain Parker.

Indeed I cannot imagine a better example of the progressive mindset than taking your own product off the shelves and calling that act “voting with your feet,” as if the buyers will seek you out if you make your product harder to find. Extra credit for lecturing a market professional about “the freemarket.” This you? “And in closing, let me add that my privilege protects me from the consequences of losing elections. Therefore I don’t care about the people who I choose not to understand or engage with, even though they collectively form a majority.”
-
Imagine typing that and not viewing it as an incredible opportunity. The progressive mindset, in a nutshell. I don’t “blame people” for leaving. That’s a good thing. I do blame politically aware progressives for abandoning the space, and the apolitical people who are left behind. lol, who said anything about making it better? Propaganda wars are not some kind of joint effort to improve public discourse.
-
No offense but this reminds me Texas Democrats “keeping their powder dry” in the 2000 election. What do people imagine will happen? Politically aware news consumers will leave Twitter and then what? The people who use Twitter for sports news will miss them and go to BlueSky before they get red pilled? This is 2025- attention is FAR more important and scarce than money.
-
Clarifying something- I get why @immamac stopped Twitter embeds. I’m making a broader point about people who are concerned about what Twitter is doing to politics fleeing from the platform and then complaining about right wing information bubbles.
-
They have their own information zone because democrats withdrew infrastructure and coalition building efforts from those places, literally- meaning dissenting voices physically and digitally left those spaces. You are posting on a board that made the decision to silence Twitter, and many people here have chosen to abandon that part of the public square. That’s a strategic error, and in metaphorical terms that’s how the Democratic Party got here- playing moneyball at the demographic and county level. I have said this before, but it’s germane here: right now, political operatives are actively discouraging straight white males from seeking Democratic nominations at the county and statewide level over representational concerns, regardless of their status and credibility in their communities. That’s a huge problem. The best messaging in the world won’t help if the messenger can’t deliver it.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

Possibly true, although somehow they missed the STEM education too. -
It’s a complicated answer and I don’t know where it is, but the gist of it was a messaging framework to co-opt and reframe their political language, and to eliminate the use of abstraction, and clearly assign with the GOP with the tangible economic and quality of life problems regular people experience in everyday life. That said, I can’t be clear enough that poor messaging is the symptom and fixing it would not result in much more success unless the infrastructure of the party is remade from the local level up. A lot of what’s happening in our politics is a function of the big sort. We need more blue dots in red places.
