Not Trying To Start A Fight, But Something To Consider... (TwitterX)

[Rubyshoo]

I know many here want absolutely nothing to do with Twitter. Musk is another in a line of vain, egotistical, spoiled billionaires who think that because of their sucess, their opinions carry more weight than the rest of us. Fuck... Him...

The thing is... Twitter is almost ubiquitous.

I had no desire to join in that world, yet every article in every website I came to rely on, had Twitter links to fill out the various stories. IOW - If I wanted to see what the author was saying, I had to click on a link the ultimately took me to Twitter.

Kamala Harris has a Twitter Account. Tim Walz has a Twitter Account. The DNC has a Twitter Account. Bernie Sanders, AOC, Gavin Newsome, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi... You get the idea...

Not only that... they are counting on those accounts to communicate with us, and the wider world.

So I will put MY distaste of, and objections to Elon Musk to the side this election cycle. I will truly not let the perfect be the enemy of the good, And... I damn well will NOT fight with one hand tied behind my back.

You may disagree, as is youre right, and I respect that. But check this out, please (From August 1st):



Democratic National Convention to Credential 200 Content Creators in Chicago

CHICAGO – Today, the Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) announced that it will credential more than 200 content creators to cover the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago as part of its efforts to reach more Americans than ever before. The convention will provide hundreds more with remote access to downloadable content and resources to share convention experiences with their viewers. Creators are already sharing their excitement with their audiences in a new video that spotlights some who will be covering the convention from inside and outside the hall.

“From day one of convention planning, we’ve set out to bring the story of our party to the American people,” said Cayana Mackey-Nance, Director of Digital Strategy for the DNCC. “Bringing creators to our convention will multiply our reach and ensure that everyone can witness democracy in action. We’re confident that when the world turns to Chicago in August on their phones, tablets, or TVs, they’ll see exactly who Democrats are and the future that we’re fighting for.”

“Our convention will make history, so we’re giving creators a front row seat to history,” said Matt Hill, Senior Director of Communications for the DNCC. “While MAGA Republicans revolve solely around Donald Trump, Democrats are reaching Americans where they are with the tools to tell their own stories.”

Following last month’s announcement that the Democratic National Convention would be credentialing content creators for the first time in convention history, the DNCC team received overwhelming interest from creators across the country representing a wide range of audiences, interests, and demographics.
