  • I think with young voters the main difference is they think voting is a cool thing to do regardless of party. They still are very susceptible to the media bubbles, but I’m not sure either party has the advantage there.

    I saw both sides of tiktok for republicans and democrats, and it was like they paid the same viral marketing campaign because they followed the same templates.

    Short clips, out of context, along with a quick message leading you to the right conclusion. Not a whole lot different than the radio and TV ads.





  • I will tell you that middle schoolers these days just say the dumbest shit. Like lines they’ve heard others say but have no idea what it means.

    And they argue over the dumbest shit too. Anyways this is just me saying this story fits well with my current understanding of young kids in school. I think its only news because it related to trump and the election, and thats worth money nowadays.

    Remember, the news stories we are served are chosen by profitability rather than social impact.





  • The democrats represent the group of americans that think money and “american ingenuity” can solve all problems. No problem is a real problem because we can always solve it if we just try real hard to make the current thing better.

    Thats why they are the status quo party, its literally their whole founding belief.

    The republicans are a party of changing backwards, which only works sometimes, usually when people are upset: “remember when things weren’t awful…?”

    The rest of the parties are thinking long term and are true parties of change but you need money to make it in politics, or else not enough people even know you exist at the higher political levels. There were I think five “third” parties on my ballot but I only ever heard people talk about one or two of them.

    I’m not sure if its more likely the democrat party collapses out of disinterest and a third party replaces them, or if the democrat party will become a true party of change for the future.

    It could just continue on as the party of “America is amazing and will always be amazing so vote for us for more amazing.”
