The most depressing thing to me about Elon Musk’s endorsement of Trump is that everyone single Democrat in federal office still uses his website.

And some even buy his cars

Has a single one of them of ever thought that it might be detrimental to their agenda when all the top and most liked replies to their tweets are paid blue checks and conservative grifters?

Not only do they use still use Xitter, they only use Xitter. They could at the very least cross post here, but they don’t. Give people a reason to folllow you out of the Nazi bar.

And drive his cars

I will credit the Harris campaign for diversifying their social media use. The campaign posts on Threads and Instagram and TikTok a lot. Some of their most popular content goes to those platforms not twitter.

This really seems like a place that pressure should be applied, everyone has their tipping point where they left twitter, we just need to get these folks over theirs.

I've been trying to convince/bully so many of these people. It ain't working.

My wife says the only reason she is still on it is the other Canadian journalists are still on it. Who are still on it because Cdn MPs are still on it. But surely federal politicians have staff who could easily migrate a profile to BlueSky in under a day, no?

It’s not Left versus Right, Democrat versus Republican. It’s about democracy versus authoritarianism.

And many of them pay him to run campaign ads on it!
