Nechápem, prečo tu je "access restricted"?

Democratic operatives and candidates need to stop being scared of their own shadows and internalize the notion that attention is good, that even negative attention might redound to their benefit and that the public is so easily distracted that no one is going to hold supposed gaffes against them

More broadly, I think we increasingly live in a postgaffe, even a postscandal society.

But because of how distracted and distractible the public has become, gaffes — or controversial and even offensive statements by candidates — do not matter the way they once did.

Politicians and campaign staff members of a certain generation live in fear of the gaffe, the moment when a politician says something awkward or wrong or offensive that comes to define who the person is.

No one checks your percentages — only your total numbers. You need to always be posting if you want a better chance of things going viral or at least ending up in the algorithmic slipstream that shoots it out to millions of eyeballs.

It’s not just how you campaign and which outlets you talk to, though. Successful campaigns must prioritize producing content. One thing successful content creators will tell you about excelling in the world of digital attention is that there’s no penalty for quantity.

This exact fear of things blowing up is what guided the communication strategy for much of the campaign as well. They were playing as if they had a lead when they didn’t.

Dohodneme sa, ze zo zaciatku to bolo o dost slabsie ako teraz?:) Z tych prvotnych protestov media reportovali "tisice" ludi v NYC, takze z toho vychadza to moje porovnanie s BB, ale nejdem sa o tom sporit, ved
nemaju to ani presne spocitane.
