I'm not sure if that's the only reason. How long until she ends up with some high paying lobbying/corporate board/whatever job?
I think not very long at all.

Remarkable how she burned down her own political career for no reason at all besides being deluded.
Everyone knows about the Cubans for decades; that isn't what I'm referring to. FL was the quintessential 50/50 state for numerous election cycles. But in 2020, they turned to the right and then veered even more sharply that direction in 2022.South Florida is old school anti-castro Cubans, they tend to be pretty hard right. Their children are starting to vote differently though.
Why? Social media is just a descriptor that came along after the propagation of forums. The forum is a place in cyberspace, where registered users can post and discuss with people they know or don't know, just like Facebook or Twitter. This forum is certainly smaller than what people might typically think of when you say social media, but I think we're still in that bucket.It feels far too small-scale in relation to the other things we consider social media these days. Feels like there should be some separation within the category of social media.

A whole lot of democrats will not get it through their thick skulls that we have a binary choice. The choice is Biden or Trump.I'm starting to realize that the pseudo-intellectual Democratic base are like Vulcans. They lack emotional substance when it comes to certain integral things. They don't attempt to connect with people who are severely impacted emotionally by an ethnic cleansing and genocide but rather just from a purely logical perspective. Which is essentially dismissive of their actual valid feelings. Never a thought about - how could they possibly feel this way, how are they invested in this, so we can perhaps understand and then talk on a more equal level.
In order to get them to a logical place you have to be able to actually have empathy in the first place. But it seems these pseudo-intellectual Vulcans lack this basic function.

While I agree that it is a form of social media, IMO it seems differentiated by the fact that there's no algorithm driving the content presented to us, in general there's no/very little connection to our actual identities, and there's no real social networking framework in place.Why?

Yes, this is a primitive form of social media. But even before we were brought "the algorithm" on places like Twitter or Facebook, and they just showed the most recent stuff from your friends/follows, that was still, IMO social media.While I agree that it is a form of social media, IMO it seems differentiated by the fact that there's no algorithm driving the content presented to us, in general there's no/very little connection to our actual identities, and there's no real social networking framework in place.
Yup same thing here in Canada in like 14-16 months. Sure Harper was right leaning, but all the following party leaders just turning more and more into mini orange monkeys. Like live with a Liberal/NDP coalition or maple MAGA.A whole lot of democrats will not get it through their thick skulls that we have a binary choice. The choice is Biden or Trump.
Yes a complete lack of empathy to anybody will definitely help reaching out to voters instead of just insinuating they are stupid.A whole lot of democrats will not get it through their thick skulls that we have a binary choice. The choice is Biden or Trump.

It's the Bernie Bros and Stein Stans all over again.
I think you will be sadly surprised. They won’t be paying her for future work, they will be using her to signal that ‘right’ voting will be rewarded.I'm not sure who would be willing to pay her large sums for her "political savvy". Considering she's displayed almost zero in quite some time.
You're not seeing the forest for the trees, this is not about Biden being "their guy".It's funny because I never disagreed that we have a binary choice.
It's just that the rank and file pseudo intellectuals think that reaching out to anybody not convinced or let alone anybody with legitimate fucked up grievances, like you know, an ethnic cleansing, is beneath them.
Fucking insane.
Imagine comparing having empathy and trying to convince people to vote by acknowledging issues is the same as being a Bernie bro.
I mean the lack of logic and reasoning here is fucking bonkers. When people get like this about their guy it's kind of like a cult.
Bigly sad.
Trump clearly cares about that crap in the Middle East. This is of course due to his corruption, but whatever.Voters should not care about genocide overseas.
Biden nor Trump can't fix Israel.
Who the hell cares.
Progressives are stupid because they are too idealistic.
You think Trumpers care about that crap in the Middle East?
What does Israel/Palestine have to do with US?
Didn't someone convince her that voting against Democrats would propel her to the presidency?She is the political definition of "delusions of grandeur".

She got paid either way, and she will continue to get paid.
If you want to see change in the Middle East, stop supporting AIPAC politicians, it's that simple.Trump clearly cares about that crap in the Middle East. This is of course due to his corruption, but whatever.
So stop supporting Trump, right?If you want to see change in the Middle East, stop supporting AIPAC politicians, it's that simple.

Look, it's nice that you're doing the voter outreach, but you're using it as a pedestal and a reason to deride people who are bothered by Democrats voting against their self-interest in much the way they're bothered by low-income Republican voters also voting against their self-interest.
