Even if all of them lose if we defeat some people who voted for this law and register thousands of young people it sends a strong message. — PolitiTweet.org

We need to make an example out of Elected officials in FL who supported the Don’t say gay bill. Imagine if 18 year old HS seniors and college students run against every elected who voted for this bill and we registered thousands of young people to vote… Just saying — PolitiTweet.org

This is NOT a campaign announcement I’m just really annoyed with how fucked everything feels. — PolitiTweet.org

To clarify the point on NPR, BBC and PBS. I am saying we need to fund them more to compete at all with cable. What I am NOT saying is that independent and private media should be defunded. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m tired of having “leaders” who have only “led” Americans against each other instead of the challenges that are much bigger than any person or party our country faces. We are facing crises of truth, opportunity, environment, and justice. We have bigger issues than each other — PolitiTweet.org

This thread is not about GOP or Dems it’s is about the system that has brought us to living in a post truth society. Plus the “leaders” who have only “led” Americans against each other instead of the real challenges that are much bigger than any person or party our country faces. — PolitiTweet.org

TL;DR Democracy can not exist in a post truth society where truth is a matter of opinion. As a result, a democratic society is only as strong as it’s education system and journalism. — PolitiTweet.org

Also stop cutting funding to libraries, librarians and education. — PolitiTweet.org

Disclaimer: This is just one reason I think polarization has gotten worse in the past decade. There are many other variables I didn’t mention such as gerrymandering and more. This is just an idea and and is NOT fact. I am NOT an expert on polarization or political science. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

What can we do to fight this? Don’t get your news as much or at all from twitter. Turn off Cable and turn on BBC or PBS or NPR Subscribe to your local paper Lastly fund public media more Rank Choice Voting Stop gerrymandering Learn how to spot opinion vs fact — PolitiTweet.org

Truth being a matter of opinion is a HUGE problem for the current state and future of our society because we can’t address major threats and challenges if we can’t agree they are real. (Watch don’t look up to see what I mean) — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

We are creeping further into a post truth society brought on by the death of local newspapers, the rise of for-profit media (both cable and social media), and the defunding of public media that does not have a profit driven incentive. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

As a result of the manufacturing of that BS paired with a lack of media literacy, increasingly we see that truth for many has become a matter of opinion. When that we see is you can spin anything into an outrageous news story. Justified as newsworthy because truth is an opinion — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

With this collapse and the increase in extremism & polarization the cycle repeats itself with even more stuff to cover. When paired with 24/7 news that has to have stuff to constantly cover- you start to see the manufacturing of BS because news doesn’t happen that often. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Eventually this cycle gets people like MTG and Trump elected making it even worse because the media cover them as elected officials —> And the cycle continues with profits soaring and our society collapsing more and more led by idiotic populists who led based off what trends. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Outraged people more drive in donations for campaigns and Quarterly profits for cable news and social media —> Now what was previously considered extreme is now the new normal so politicians need to say even more insane stuff to get on the news (basically outrage inflation) —> — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

there’s lot of journalists/Cable TV hosts on twitter who cover stories they first hear or think are popular based on what trends on twitter —> Who then feed this false reality either knowingly or not to their readers/viewers (legitimizing what we see on here as reality)—> — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

What social media produces is a positive feedback loop of outrage and chaos. We have an algorithm that knows what keeps people on here most is outrage and news we agree with (even if not true)—> Politicians looking to raise money and name ID so they do/say extreme things —> — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Thread: Just a reminder that your timeline and social media is not at all reality. We all have had a highly customized stream of confirmation bias and outrage inducing content designed only to keep us engaged- not to inform or to educate us accurately. There’s a cycle- — PolitiTweet.org

No one should face gun violence in their school or community. Everyone should have a fair shot and opportunity at moving up in society no matter their zip code or the number of figures in their bank account. — PolitiTweet.org
