President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

I believe that. Twitter is disproportionately left-leaning, so, per capita, I'm sure it does amplify the right - including the far right. Left field crowded all the way to centerfield, center, right-center emptier by relative comparison, and right field crowded down the line.

Not unlike journalism. The industry has moved left in the last 8-10-12 years by hiring to the left, and the majority of right-wing opinions being heard are from the shameless, hysterical-on-purpose performers who view moderation as capitulation.

 

How ever did the left let it get to this? Never change.

 

Now it's unmanly to hold babies, or so say worshippers of a guy who wears makeup and shoe lifts and pays for intercourse.
I'll go ahead and keep holding babies if that's OK.

 

the chicken keeps getting fucked

 

Maybe President Donald Trump is embroidered on his cotton briefs (or just written in Sharpie) like your mom would do for summer Latin camp

 

If you think my read of journalism and Twitter is wrong, that's fine. What do you think it looks like? Most of the right-wing media operations seem pretty far right at this point. Unless your definition of any conservative media outlet would be "extreme" I don't see a lot of moderation.

I see moderate left, I see further left, I see very left, I see far right, I see insanely far right. Anything between NPR left and far right seems to be viewed with incredible skepticism from the left as insincere and, in some ways, worse than being the far right.

 

To blame the lack of a responsible right on your perceived leftward shift in journalism is comical.

 

As a whole, the dominant ethos on Twitter is that people use it for other topics besides politics. Political and journalism twitter are a subset of a larger world which in turn isn't all that big as mass audiences go.

 

Do you agree there's a lack of a responsible right? If so, I figure there's five broad possibilities to why there's a lack of it.

>>There's no such thing as and there has never been a responsible right, because conservative politics is never and has never been responsible. The term is an oxymoron.

>>No one wants to be responsibly right because the people who used to be responsibly right moved further right because they're craven or stupid people whose conservativism was always a sheep's cover for an ideological wolf.

>>No one wants to be responsibly right because to be even affiliated with the right is to be affiliated with its current (inherent?) badness, and that status won't change until the far right is less far right, spurred on by whatever catalyst might do that. (Like losing elections.)

>>There's no percentage in being responsibly right because it doesn't feel very good, because you lose out on the autocratic, hate-filled fervor of the far right (where, at the very least, you get to blame the monstrous blue "other" for all of the problems, and there's little credit for being responsibly right because, for whatever reason, the term has become an oxymoron.

>>We're in a much-more-religious age than we think, and moderate/centrist political worldviews are the lukewarm church in revelation Jesus wants to spit out of his mouth.

Maybe there's something else. But what conservative position is acceptable? On what topic?

 

C'mon. Elon Musk is attempting to buy Twitter because it is an unusually political space. Twitter employees are furious because it is an unusually political company.

If politics hardly mattered, if that were true, Twitter wouldn't do what it does in relation to politics.

 

Can’t tell from the thread when those emails were sent: before or after Vance saw the light and converted to lord and savior Trump.
