more than anything else, i wanna know how the dnc influencer network feels about this. what are all those 19-year-old tiktokkers who spent two years scolding us for not being sufficiently excited by the biden administration thinking now, exactly
Those guys r around my age and as much as I think they mean well, they also annoy me just as much with how much they suckle the Biden administration’s teat. The TikTok ban is also just fucking infuriating.
People joke about "vibes-based politics" but that's literally how people perceive the world. Things like this are going to have a lasting impact on not just young people but other demos like small business and musicians that relied on tiktok to promote themselves. And that's not even mentioning gaza
"vibes-based politics" was always just a stancillian catchphrase to trick people into listening to NGOs run by 22-year-olds and funded by koch shell corps. no matter how many graphs you make showing "actually the net quasi-inflationary reticule is up 11%," people care about their material conditions
tbf, benjamin netanyahu could have been deliberately obstructionist to a ceasefire because he was coordinating to get trump in office, and it’s not like it’s going to be permanent anyways.
All of this is true, but it also ignores almost a year and a half of Biden refusing to use any amount of pressure to end this sooner. It's own goals all the way down.
I have no clue where it goes from here, but like really anyone involved with these last 4 years needs to be blackballed from that party if they're gonna figure it out
