makes you wonder the extent to which the loser behavior of a lot of Democratic electeds is just downstream of the loser behavior of apparently a bunch of Democratic voters

You're mad because you expect a "software update" to make things work better. You will only be free when you understand this to be an illusion and accept the fact that software is suffering

I can't keep reading this stuff, my head is going to explode
“Instead, NBC ran a rerun of ‘Law & Order’ and CBS aired a rerun of “Young Sheldon.’”

"In 2014, major networks also refused to air a speech by former President Barack Obama about immigration reform, claiming it was too partisan.”
“The networks have declined to air prime time speeches from the last two Democratic presidents, claiming they were too political.” In 2022, broadcast networks declined to air a prime time speech by Joe Biden “where he warned about threats to democracy, deciding the speech would be too ‘political.’”

Breaking precedent, networks interrupt prime time for Trump political diatribe

Primary them all and block anybody who comes with the “at this crucial juncture the most important thing is that we win.” if they believed that they wouldn’t do this and with friends like them nobody needs enemies
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

I think Jamelle's mostly right here re: reach.

My Twitch co-hosts and I address this in our JSMG article from last year: we have actively decided that we will pursue a narrow, focused audience of peers, and we mostly don't advertise our stream to anyone further than one connection away from us.
i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.
