   @Pineywoozle @anubis2814 @timo21 @bronakins Trump creates drama which the media interprets as attention for ad revenue. They expected that even if Trump won, their bank accounts would be full like the last time Trump was in office (that did not happen).

   But for better or worse the GOP was successful in motivating their side to vote, & convincing enough people who were apathetic about both parties to not vote.

     @anubis2814 Trump didn’t fill a fucking vacuum. He was given air time & she was silenced. The same way when Kamala was in Europe meeting w/ world leaders who were impressed w/ her but the press only covered her shopping for a fucking pan & disparaged her & tried to make her seem elite because she bought a pan that lasts a lifetime & that’s in every Republican politicians kitchen including trumps. You're buying their narratives. WE’re not going to do their job. #USPol #trump @timo21 @bronakins

     @bronakins @Pineywoozle @timo21 I agree but for having nearly $1B of campaign spending one would think that we could hire better strategists. I think her biggest flaw was not continuing to do or say big things that grabbed headlines. When she did it looked like there was no way she would lose and you heard nothing about Trump but after a certain point there was something of a vacuum from Sep - election day and Trump filled it in the news because he's made perfectly for 24 hour news.

     @Pineywoozle @anubis2814 Harris tried to get around the billionaire media, so the political people do know there is a problem with getting any coverage from the media.

     I thought Harris ran an effective campaign — one of the pillars of which was circumventing the trump-oriented media. She had much ground to cover in a compressed time frame.

     @anubis2814 We have the power to circumvent the currently useless media if we connect locally.

     One of the things the 2024 loss did was to show me that my political communication strategy was all wrong and old fashioned and had little influence on anyone. I put so much effort into it and thought it was so important just to lose everything and what for? I will still try to communicate but not at the expense of burnout, but i will be much more selective as to where the message will spread better. Algorithms make many older great platforms absolutely worthless for spreading any ideas.
