Needed to pull some stats off #twitter for work and having deleted my account and because #Melon no longer allows access unless you have an account I had few options but to set up an account.

Man that place is a #sewer all the #assholes trending and the #progressives arguing with them.

So looking forward to once again deleting this account.

Don't know how people are so unable to realise how shit it is.

Can #progressives win back the #WorkingClass ?

Why should progressives accommodate conservatives' need to be socially accepted, when conservatives refuse to allow "others" to be socially accepted.

If the conservatives want people to be friendly with them, then they need to stop being so actively hostile to people.

@JuliusGoat does a much better job explaining this idea in this essay:

Bernie Sanders: always a day late and a dollar short.

His belated, half-hearted support for Biden is deeply underwhelming, and yet he’s being attacked by his own most extreme supporters for selling out.

Still see far too many #progressives posting "humorous" pictures of #Trump's mugshot on social media...

They still don't get that _any_ picture of his is helping his cause. Most uninterested people will scroll past the edgy remarks, but that mug shot will still trigger a little spark of recognition in their subconscious, making Trump feel more and more harmless to their reptilian brain

It's literally how branding works

We Went To a Trump Rally: What We Heard Will Shock You

12 min video

One take away: Trump supporters would vote Sanders over Ted Cruz.

I would think here that one very unconscious reason people say “Trump didn’t lose” it’s a dog whistle of people’s rejection of their exploitation. I know it’s messed up way, but under the hood is a seething resentment to their own circumstance.

I feel kind of desperate/awkward, haha - just trying to avoid a repeat of a recent local meetup that made me feel incredibly uncomfortable as a #NBPOC/#NBWOC.

#Liberals #Progressives often complain that the US DoJ is not going fast enough on prosecuting #Trump
but the wierd thing about the US justice system is that it often takes years

eg, a random example

»The fall of #Twitter is making the #trolls and #grifters desperate: #ElonMusk's business model depends on "triggering" #liberals — but he's now running out of #progressives to bait.« https://www.salon.com/2023/08/01/they-need-us-we-dont-need-them-the-fall-of-twitter-is-making-the-and-grifters-desperate/?eicker.news #tech #media

"The #grifters that make up the #troll-industrial complex are not okay.

"One can see the sheen of #desperation in the #world of self-identified #conservatives who make a living by "triggering" the #liberals. The usual dose of outrage bait isn't working as well any longer, so the #rightwingers are escalating the provocations. Tucker #Carlson, for example, gave a glow-up interview with manosphere "influencer" Andrew #Tate, who is being held in #Romania on charges of sex #trafficking and #rape. #DailyWire anti-trans provocateur Matt #Walsh is selling plushies of himself clad only in a diaper, which he encourages #people to give to #children. Daily Wire founder Ben #Shapiro, on the other hand, made a nearly hour-long video #tantrum about "#Barbie," complete with setting the dolls on fire. The clawing need to get attention from #progressives seems to be driving these engagement farmers a little nuts, as they up the weird-and-evil ante, hoping to get those precious clicks and plays.

[...]

"The escalation of shock value tactics, on both the right and the pretending-not-to-be-right political classes, are likely rooted in the same cause: The slow motion collapse of #Twitter, now rebranded "#X," under the leadership of #Tesla CEO Elon #Musk. While these folks have various outlets, both in the #media and #socialmedia, ultimately their #business model of #trolling depends heavily on Twitter.

"Grifters need people to harass and a mainstream discourse to counter. As traffic takes a nosedive and Twitter becomes less a part of the conversation, it's going to be harder for these folks to make #money," Melissa #Ryan, a strategist who helps counter online #disinformation, told #Salon.

"They need us. We don't need them:" The fall of Twitter is making the trolls and grifters #desperate"

The clawing need to get attention from progressives seems to be driving these engagement farmers a little nuts, as they up the weird-and-evil ante, hoping to get those precious clicks and plays.

"What Musk has proven through his actions and his statements is that he's committed to serving the trolls and the #fraudsters first and the ordinary good faith users second," explained Brian Hughes of American #University, who is the co-founder of the Polarization and #Extremism #Research and Innovation Lab (#PERIL). But, he noted, Musk is "blinded by his own #ideology" and can't see how this is backfiring. "As normal people, for lack of a better term, continue to leave Twitter, that's actually going to cause probably a reduction in the use of the platform by these trolls and these fraudsters. They don't have their audience of targets that they need," he continued.

HAHAHAHAHAHA die mad about it, trolls. Full offense."

Hey #Democrats #liberals #progressives and #antifascists

Do you want to know the easiest path to keeping the GOP out of the White House?

Win #Texas or #Florida.

They have no path to victory without both of those states. None.

Obama won Florida twice. The #GOP in both states works hard to cheat BECAUSE THEY KNOW THESE STATES ARE PURPLE.

Stop accepting the GOP-Russian narrative that they're red.
