US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

Personally I don’t have issues with people stating an opinion, everyone’s entitled to that. I do have an issue with people intentially lying though and deliberately staying false facts either in the press or social media.

I think there should always be some form of regulation for that. Musk thinking community notes on X is the only thing needed and for it to be self regulating I completely disagree with.
I have no problem with aggressive, instantly fact-checking if data. In fact, social media platforms have the AI tech to do it in real time. The problem is bad actors who want you to be lied to and deceived!

I have no problem with regulation of corporate entities, even those that say they are merely providing a channel for others to express their feelings.

Please don’t confuse or conflate my belief that anyone should be able to say anything with the notion there should be no consequences for individual actions. Life is literally about living with the consequences of millions of decisions and individual actions every moment of every day.

I’m not in favor of chaos. I’m just against reflexive, unnecessary jurisprudence where social morays and common sense can prevail.
 
Could have asked Joe for an interview like Bernie did.



Anyway the point is there are loads of popular social media platforms that have zero to no real Democrat champions on there, they stood by and watched the Republicans take over them and have free reign influencing younger voters.

Followed the US Elections this time around with a kind of morbid fascination. I’ve watched Joe Rogan on and off for years. He’s always seemed pretty straight and well respected. Harris was asked, but ran scared of Rogan as she’d be exposed. Big, big mistake. Trump, Vance and then Musk each had 3 hour conversations with JR and got around 80m views on YT alone. Fetterman went on for the Dems, but didn’t do Kamala too many favours with some of his answers. He only got around 1.5m views. I watched large chunks of each of them and hate to say that Vance handled it really well.
These types of unscripted conversations have killed off traditional political commentary with its selective editing and “gotcha” questions. Traditional media, by and large, has performed badly and lost lots of credibility. The Democrat campaign was way off the pace even though they spent roughly 2x that of Trump.
 
The social media I am talking about is the likes of Twitch, Kick and TikTok the ones that are predominantly used by young people. Republicans were all over them like a rash and know how to manipulate algorithms sadly the Democrats didn't. Btw this isn't the main reason they lost was just an observation.

Again, you stumbled past the answer to find the “problem.”

Don’t you see, the algorithm IS the problem, because if that is done “correctly” there could be more left wing content on every platform, but if the platform doesn’t want you to see it, you won’t!

So let me get this straight.

The GOP big 3 got 240 million views, Fetterman got 1.5 million.

But Harris is supposed to go on this show because she’s going to somehow convince Rogan’s audience, who obviously hasn’t made up their mind.

Oh . . . but I can’t question your opinion on this topic because I might sound “preachy” and “talk down to you.” Apologies.

You have completely ignored the facts of the what and the who of JRE, and the hiding to nothing some people are on when they go on there.

It is not a friendly place for Dems, because Rogan knows who his audience is and it’s Trumper through and through! Do you think Rogan asked Trump any hardball questions? Dug up any scandalous video? Tried to make him answer for things he’d said and done?

GMAFB!

Had Harris gone on there, it would have been a big “Bro smack down of the uppity black chick who thinks she can beat Trump!” He would have smacked her around, not let her get away with anything, and had video clip after video clip cued up and ready to go for every trap she walked into!
