Huge majority of voters r ignorant. The fault is spread all around w/dem pols having large roles. But it is the pols’ crucial role to form stories for voters, ignorant or not, w/in wh/voters see th/s as having a role. That’s what r-wing media did for GOPs and gave their voters political identity.

People like to see themselves in stories. Today’s Dem leaders have no vision the way FDR LBJ did. That’s why Dems don’t tell stories in which voters see th/s. And why swing/mods/indies rnt able to place th/s w/in the party. Top Dems d/n c voters in their political vision as Bernie/AOC do.

It should be a no brainer for UK lib/prog media to show this is exactly what Dems @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social did as led by @pelosi.house.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @chuckschumer.com and which directly led to Trump in WH x2 and why he’s able to destroy US democracy.

This is where u need to go hard at @democrats.org @schumer.senate.gov @raskin.house.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov as a prom journo. They’re fucking doing nothing as Trump clearly is escalating. Dems need to look into Trump going after political opps b4 they get disappeared.

Miller prob knows the law. His goal is to make the blatant illegality inevitable and make most voters who are disinterested feel it has nothing to do w/them. We as society need to learn how to contain types like him, keep below radar, bec they seem to thrive/grow from these back and forths.

Article’s paywalled. But is it really that complex? Given r-wing nut jobs decades pursuit to shrink gvmt, greedy rich salivating to get hands on paid benefits, multiple investig’ns on Musk, it feels like op piece is just a filler and only contributes to multiple misdirections by major media.

Ur really not getting it, ru @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social @chuckschumer.com @kenmartin.bsky.social? U awa @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social consultants like @davidshor.bsky.social operate in world where 90% voters d/n exist. There's no evid Klein/Shor offer any path except more losses.

In politics for every inaction there is a reaction. @democrats.org @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov refuse to fight for control of political discourse creating a void enabling r-wing to fill it. Trump lies all the time but he has complete control of political discourse in ALL media.

Why would stupid Trump view using a/th other than gvmt secured channel as stupid? Or care that it’s stupid? Or care that others are up in arms that his appointees are acting as stupidly as he does? In fact he luuuuuvs upsetting others w/such overt stupidity bec it means MEDIA/PUBLIC ATTENTION.

One thing science writers need to address is what happens IF Dems get all 3 chambers back? I just d/n c strong, vision-led leadership in Jefferies/Schumer to re-invest/re-build all that Trump is dismantling. Those two were chosen to protect the party from such visionaries.

We already fucking knew how Trump is insistent on his lies. We knew that by end of 2020. Yet major media awa left media continue to report it like it’s a new development instead of moving the discourse forward, such as how such media continue to platform his lies AND WHY HE LIES ALL THE TIME.

Maybe society should start thinking of guys like Lutnick not in terms how media reports on him that provides him unearned fame/name recognition but as unthinking, unimaginative person w/pedestrian views who needs to be contained instead of being given constant media attn.

Didn't Trump spend most of his first term hovering high 30s/low 40s approval? Yet he came w/in less than 50k votes to losing to Biden. And most say that was primarily because of Trump's stupidity on COVID. At this early stage Trump has plenty of time to recover. That w/suppression he could win 2028.

And the dad should have turned to all those media and accuse them that they’re promoting Lang rally by their very presence. Case in point: media mics/tapes pointed to Lang and he’s feeding off the attn. Major/left/prog media rnt neutral players in the right controlling political discourse.

Over here in the US we call it meaningless Democratic leadership.

Because we, especially u major media folks, never made @democrats.org @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov esp @schumer.senate.gov @pelosi.house.gov @electdemocrats.bsky.social pay for their decades long laziness but let them grow cozily assured in their seats.

Now why does this have all the hallmarks of Trump’s old trick of using leaks to test the waters on a potential decision while his official stance claims everything is fine?

Trump had 6 BKs, blew thru his nearly 1/2 $B inheritance, chose high-cost of litigation rather than simply pay for work done on his property and meet his contractual obligations. His neo-con $B'res are the stupidest donors refusing to c Trump ran his biz and lost $Bs in a way they never would.

The article's paywalled. I hope Snyder is talking about @democrats.org @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @pelosi.house.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov and their decades long refusal to take heed the rising power of r-wing media to dominate political messaging.

Jesus! Which com person made this post 4U? What are u even saying? Is Snyder the man in the pic? This is saying NOTHING to voters we lost in 2024. U know who're connecting w/those voters? @sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social and why they're drawing huge crowds. Bet Wikler w/n do this shit!

Where are the ads against AIPAC? Why isn’t it possible for political ads to run against destructive/dangerous interest groups including Koch Bros?

Like @nytimes.com Bulwark also did focus groups w/uneds. We esp @thedem dismissed them at our peril in 2024. Many voted Biden but not Harris. Stupid Dems take them awa polls as true ops by voters when all they’re doing is measuring what r-wing mssg via major media are reaching the public.

What gets me esp the older GOP voters is that they obviously are informed enuf to know Trump is destroying the checks/balances of the 3 branches. He rarely hid his intention of becoming a dictator after his 2020 loss. Yet, they voted for the fucking guy a third time.

Duz a/o put it past Trump to have “s/th happen” to a US senator? Why rnt other @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social like @corybooker.com @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @adamschiff.com going w/him? At least to make it impossible for Trump to pull anything w/a group than one w/person.

DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE THAT HARRIS CAMPAIGN MADE. Remember she had record crowd, too, and I think many of us including me took that as a sign that she was going to win. U @sanders.senate.gov need to take pulses regularly esp w/swing voters Dems need to make sure we d/n misread big crowds again.

THE F/U COLONOSCOPY ISN'T UNTIL 2027. Ur tweet awa @rawstory.com headline could have included that major detail. This is why I d/n follow @rawstory.com. They've done this clickbait too many times. I go on the hope that I'll catch their less deceptive stories thru those I follow.

What I want to know is who had Trump do this? It was too out of the blue for him. Maybe I missed it but I don't recall Trump ever showing interest in Tate. I wonder if it wasn't Trump's youngest son. Wasn't it he who influenced Trump to go on Rogan?

I'm soooooooo tired of left/prog/academic ESP FUCKING DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS accounts focusing solely on Trump/GOPs as solely responsible for US's trajectory towards dictatorship pretending that Dems awa many US cultural nonsense didn't play key roles in Trump amassing almost all political power.

Well u know it’s hard to admit when ur friend/political allies supporter sponsors are nothing more than common criminals. Because what does that say about u, who u are, and the legitimacy of ur position if ur own ID system and personal politics are connected to criminals?

Hopefully ur thinking about how r-wing media primed the pump at least 3 decs ago PRIMARILY enabled by US religiosity to 1A/capitalism awa refusal by Dems to take lesson on r-wing media success in controlling low-info voters bec Dems also hugely trapped in their own cultural bubble.

When u/@nbcnews.com along w/@wsj.com Linskey put these stories out, does it EVER hit any of u that barely any of these stories reach huge majority of the public, such awareness, such concepts d/n exist in those worlds, but only in urs? Bec of that huge gap, these stories have very little value?

I have to laugh. The unbelievable vanity of major media awa top Dems. It’s still astounding they’re clueless Trump is no diff than a selfish unthinking idiot ev/o has come across in life and to whom they give little attn. I bet if media/Dems gave Trump scant attn as they should, he w/n be in WH

So how many of these small businesses voted for Trump? Based on their responses to polls on their outlook for their business under both candidates, I’d guess over 50% of small business owners voted for the vengeful chiseling grifter that is Trump.

Founders also d/n see opp party self-neutering as @schumer.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.org Pelosi have for decades in the face of r-wing media amassing power for GOPs.

We haven't evolved enuf to outthink human stupidity that is as much part of our nature as being bipedal.

A massive banner was been furled in DC. It contained the names of Palestinians killed by Israel since October 2023 by Zionist ruling trash in Israel and the US.

That's what I thought. Trump got lonely, maybe sexually, maybe emotionally. But definitely spiritually. Her lunacy is a kindred spirit for him and a balm to his self-confidence that's been long battered by loneliness that's been intensified by the pressure of WH. She's Eva Braun

For whose benefit, tho? Is Bezos itching to take Musk's place so that he can have a POTUS as his bitch? Before his shift on WaPo, I wouldn't have thought so, but since then, not sure his billions hasn't gone to his head. At least he's not on ketamine, as far as we know.

Hopefully a lawsuit is quickly on the horizon.

And how many of the public do u think are aware @democrats.senate.gov tried to stop Trump's tariffs? Do you at all think about the reach of ur tweet? Or do u just tweet what ur staff tells u to and then shut ur phone off and put it back in your pocket?

I laugh at this post bec there’s no one to remind voters of this. @thedemcoalition.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov worse @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social do NOTHING to go on media to incessantly bang on about it the way r-wing media does for GOPs.
