I don’t know about that but it is not an excuse to do nothing. Where is the dem presence on TikTok?

Currently it's full of screaming clout chasers hoping to go viral.

Trump adviser - "The USA goal is peace rather than Ukraine regaining its lost territory"

it's happening, the handcart to hell has just arrived at the world's door.

It wasn’t lost, it was stolen.

Yes. You appear to disagree.

Whom do you think should decide who can say what, and to whom?

While certain language can be deemed unseemly, and usually counterproductive, it seems to me that society should be the culture police, with society deciding (albeit without legal recourse) that certain activities in the public square are deemed beneath us and subject to derision, and thus the purveyors of such are treated accordingly, by being ignored.

Now, one might think that this has the potential to expose us to bad ideas, and I hope it does, as I’d much prefer bad ideas, “bad words,” and their possible corruption of others be as open as possible, wouldn’t you? After all, how does society respond unless it’s open enough to know it, see it and hear it TO decry it?

if we’re in the ‘public square’ and someone is racist then gets twatted all over for it that’s ok with you aye? Lesson learned. Chat shit get banged.
It’s not difficult to understand that calling someone a nigga is offensive, unacceptable and has no placed in a decent society.

In principle the strategy ought to be to answer the lies directly where they are disseminated. The dems therefore need a big presence on line, TikTok, Facebook etc. Twitter would be interesting! Sorry, I mean X.
Ideally, they need an oligarch of their own to buy a tv network and direct it as Murdoch does Fox. Hmmmm…..

Dems so far behind on platforms like Twitch,Kick and TikTok. You think you can convince a load of gamer types to vote Dems if you're waffling about trans rights or Palestine? Republicans had some of the biggest streamers on their side.

Don't think it's the majority even, when the tories win elections they can be the only party talking about tax cuts. They never get near 50%.

That's because all parties promise something. We have just voted in a Party that promised no tax increases for working people.

Get a politician to tell the truth and see how many votes they get.

I suppose it's where your income is to begin with. If you are on the breadline, or struggling, then of course money will be a big concern. Some people don't have the luxury of a bigger picture.
Can't blame them for worrying about their income.

I have yet to meet a wealthy person who was happy to give away his/her money.

something that Trump was able to spot really

I think when people get to a certain level of wealth then they are happy to give a level of money away but not for altruistic reasons, but rather for reasons of control and the need to secure a legacy, and based on their own perspective and predilections.

If it was taken off them and distributed according to society’s real needs, then their attitude towards such benevolence would be very different.

Agreed but I haven't met anyone at that level of wealth, i was talking about your run of the mill loaded person.
