@zsilvs303 @ThePocketReport @hankgreen Left/liberal creators literally do that, the point is the dem establishment has shunned and excluded them and their young audiences, instead prioritizing cable news and legacy media. That’s the sticking point. Will be interesting to see if things change ahead of 2024 — PolitiTweet.org

@zsilvs303 @devahaz @ThePocketReport @hankgreen I think it will be interesting to see what happens in 2024 and if they’ve learned any of these lessons! Rn it seems they’re all still living in cable news land like it’s the 1990s. Will be interesting to watch for a shift 👀 — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@zsilvs303 @devahaz @ThePocketReport @hankgreen They do that and the establishment snubs them. This happened w/ multiple generations of YTers and IGers and now we see it happening w TikTokers. To compete in the modern media environment dems will need to learn to leverage (largely leftist) creators, not bash and exclude them — PolitiTweet.org

@zsilvs303 @hankgreen Ok it sounds like you have specific political view here that’s coloring things. — PolitiTweet.org

@dinachka82 Sorry I have replies turned off bc the k*wi f*rms ppl always flood my mentions! But very good points — PolitiTweet.org

@zsilvs303 @hankgreen Huh? Idk what u mean by political reality but this type of framing is exactly what alienates young ppl from the political system and that’s the problem — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@nathanallebach Yes good point, the disparities are decades in the making and I think reveal a lot about how each party views the media — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@zsilvs303 @ThePocketReport @hankgreen A lot of right wingers actively advocate for very extreme far right policies, but the party itself doesn’t critique them for going too far. On the left, creators who advocate for progressive policies are shunned by the establishment, not invited to the WH etc. That’s a key diff — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@zsilvs303 @hankgreen They literally do that!! Thousands of tiktokers banded together to do that in 2020, and have since seen none of the policies they hoped for implemented, establishment dems don’t listen or engage with them. Meanwhile the right rolls out the red carpet for creators. It’s a big diff — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@hankgreen @zsilvs303 Sure, leftist creators/young ppl as a whole dunk on ppl out of step w the times, but even those creators will still work w establishment (Hasan playing Among Us for ex). But establishment dems have no concerted strategy to work w creators. Biden has done a bit but it’s secondary — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@zsilvs303 @hankgreen You have it backwards. It’s the establishment that dunks on creators consistently! The liberal establishment has been yrs behind the right when it comes to working w/ creators. They’re finally realizing their probs but their current polices are broadly out of sync w/ the youth — PolitiTweet.org

@devahaz @ZGoldstein @laurajfagan I mean it’s not that hard to wear a mask to protect medically vulnerable ppl, especially on public transportation. Like, that should be bare minimum. Millions of high risk Americans rely on public transit to get to work, doctor’s appts etc. Why not do all u can to protect them? — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@hankgreen I feel like overwhelmingly political creators on the left are far more progressive/aligned w younger ppl’s politics than the liberals in power, who seem to largely have contempt for them and anyone who aligns themselves w/ progressives. A bunch of creators did back Bernie :/ — PolitiTweet.org
