This will change everything for the #dems because seniority has always taken precedent for them. www.politico.com/news/2024/12...

"I think social media should be basically common infrastructure that society gets to use and evolve it as society evolves, building a more democratic form of social media to reflect a democratic society."

This is not a bad idea and I do think that some people on #Bluesky would pay for it—compared to the reactions to Elon he launched Twitter premium.

I wonder if they’ll offer elected officials access to the premium plan.

“Ordinary people go viral every day with relatable, intelligent & compelling content because #socialmedia is often the one place they can bypass traditional gatekeepers & have their voices heard. Grassroots movements & fringe politicians exploit this masterfully.”

I think Dems have a social media problem.

This tweet got me thinking. On the surface, it's a fair critique. The issue isn't about copying a single person's success—it's about the collective & coordinated investment in social media & influencer marketing that the party has largely overlooked.🧵
