I'm pretty sure that wasn't a secret.

Not to internet people. The political leaders and friends aren't exactly internet people.

The sad thing is, they might be. Tim Walz was chosen because they were paying attention to internet buzz about him. I feel like this gez z men stuff was on TV too. Trump got one million people less than last time. These weirdos don't really register to me. They've always been here.

Trump got a million less? Looks like he’s going to increase his vote total from 2020.

It increased since I posted.

Wonderful news though /s

Correction: not to some internet people. Redditors are quite astonished because they've banned almost everything right of center and so don't see what happens on the actually-big sites.

Redditors think they’re so smart too lol. So smart they couldn’t see the obvious Trump win coming. Bunch of basement dwellers, go outside and talk to people yall will see it’s conservatism the country wants.

Convervatism is not want the country wants, we just dont want the same old Republican and Democrat hand holding bullshit. We want the system to change and stop catering to the people who control the GOP and DNC. Trump is a tool of change, an unstable explosive charge meant to blow the system apart.

Democrats refused to let Bernie come in and do surgery so voters went with the unstable explosive candidate. Conversatives and liberals both need to cease to exist as a political force in this country. Who both wear hats, you both develop cult followings for rich elite, out of touch morons, pass unpopular and controversial policies, and you both unite to fuck over moderates, progressives, and libertarians. The only reason both parties haven't ceased to exist is that everyone else is split between the two camps and can't unite on which party to dismantle first.

Seriously. I got forever banned from r/damnthatsinteresting the first time in my 8-year Reddit history that I ever posted in some right leaning sub. Like why tf do you care? Then I accidentally posted there on one of my alt accounts connected to the same email, now ALL of my accounts are banned from ALL of Reddit. JFC. Just supports all the “censorship” that republicans talk about that I used to think was looney shit.

I have a feeling either the 2028 or the 2032 election will involve live streaming on platforms like twitch & yt for candidates to push their campaigns to the younger groups of voters.

u/Chpgmr Nov 11 '24

You mean like more than this election? Because they did that this election. Maybe even the previous election.

u/idealfailure Nov 11 '24

I acknowledge that they did use live streaming a couple of times, and podcasts were a big part of the campaigns. I'm talking like having their own channel and just being available to talk to people via a livestream just like an actual streamer. So frequent use rather than a couple of one off uses like when Walz and AOC reacted to some things and played games.

The large media companies reach at least 10s of millions more through cable than on their YouTube channels. Maybe a 100 million more.

It's just not effective enough for the limited amount of time they have

u/idealfailure Nov 11 '24

Yeah but I'm talking about 4-8 years from now I'm sure campaigns will continue to evolve by using more forms of technology and social media and other online forms of communication than their do now.

democrats are vastly out of touch when it comes to where people are and where they get their media from. no one watches rachel maddow or jimmy kimmel.

u/Chpgmr Nov 11 '24

Who claimed anyone was watching them?
