Thank you, Barbara, I needed this!

Makes so much sense, as it did the first day I heard M. say it. So many vote how they feel about the world as if the US POTUS is responsible for all of it. It does seem like we need a diff approach to flooding the zone with truth. People don't pay as much attention as we do. I breathe this stuff.

Thank you for the insightful read!

@bmcc724.bsky.social and @matthewjdowd.bsky.social I keep coming back to messaging - not during the election, but over the 4 yrs of the Biden presidency. They had a big opp to hammer and hype the +++ of a Dem agenda and they didn’t. What savvy comms experts do we have who will do that now?

I think social media has dumbed down America to a certain degree. Even our media apparatus has given to entertainment reporting trying to keep pace with social media.

bmcc724.bsky.social•105 days ago

A surprisingly # of us just vote feelings, pin those feelings to whoever is a “leader” at the time (DADDY!), and vote for a change, a new daddy, w/out a care. I know others smart people who blame Biden for inflation.

Hum, really it doesn’t give much info. My main question is why was Biden’s approval rating so low? That’s where the questions need to begin.

bmcc724.bsky.social•106 days ago

According to my Midwest sources*, people weren’t feeling the economic recovery and were feeling the global unrest. *liberal family

Most people don’t follow like we do Nancy. That’s always been true. These are the people who don’t know what’s coming.

And maybe the message has been hammered home by the right wing media? Just saying…

Hey does this actually pin a thing? I can’t figure out how to bookmark here.

midnightinmaine.bsky.social•105 days ago

In your emojis you’ll find the red push pin. Just put it in a reply to a post you want to save. On your homepage you’ll see a red push pin. That’s where all the threads that you marked will be. It’s like a bookmark. Hope this helps.

Wow! TYSM. I searched online for a "how to" and I couldn't find the options described. Appreciate the clarity.

midnightinmaine.bsky.social•105 days ago

I had the same problem!💙

Cmon, the country chose a felon and insurrectionist over a black woman.

bmcc724.bsky.social•106 days ago

Both can be true, though. Biden’s approval rating, unjustifiably IMO, has been low for years. This is a pretty dumb country with lots of daddy issues (not just us - global daddy issues). Concur that is in part misogyny and racism is always at work here.
