Dems must fill media platforms with truth-telling, fact-checking & positivity about their party's achievements & plans: Following Musk’s lead, Youtube & FB are giving up on policing conspiracy theories. SM companies are receding from their role as watchdogs against pol misinfo -trend expected to profoundly affect the 2024 pres. election. In a sign of Musk’s influence, Meta briefly considered a plan last year to ban all pol advertising on FB-then shelved it. #GOPCorruption https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/08/25/political-conspiracies-facebook-youtube-elon-musk/
@KimPerales OK but this is all happening on Biden’s watch, just like losing reproductive rights, and the fact that we have more #Covid being pooped out by Americans this week then we did the same week in 2020.
Gas prices around here are brutal again, nobody can afford food, everyone’s getting kicked off #Medicaid because he couldn’t even bother firing #DeJoy from the post office so nobody’s getting their paperwork in on time.
The world is burning and he ordered more drilling.
but yeah, what American needs right now is more paid propaganda circulating on social media telling us how well we are all doing because of #Bidenomics. That’ll fix it
@maggiemaybe What's the realistic alternative? #MAGA or semi-MAGA? I wish it were different, but we can't let Republicans win.
@maggiemaybe
1) Politics is about the art of the possible. The constraints under which Biden is operating—including a rigged SCOTUS and a House controlled by crazy fascists—are monumental. What he's been able to accomplish despite those constraints is actually amazing.
2) Democrats in office will make things better and Republicans will make them worse.
3) Attacking Democrats from the left hurts their chances of winning elections.
These are the reality. As @barney said, reality is important.
@maggiemaybe As I saw someone else say recently, I'm not supporting Democratic candidates because I think they're perfect. I'm supporting them because they're the ones I want sitting across from me at the negotiating table.
People who want the Democratic party to move left need to get involved at the local level (e.g., starting with joining a ward committee) and work their way up, not sling mud at Democrats and hurt their election chances.
