I wonder if MTV, had it known to follow the trend and support the infrastructure, could've thrived on TikTok with snippets of music videos, or just supporting original content creators.

Weird how pushing back with a modicum of force on your actual opponents puts them in a corner.

Part of why it was so cool that they would just get different artists to cover it in seasons two and three. And then dumping it altogether when the show pivoted from that dynamic.

The lesson from France is that sometimes you have to hold your nose to defeat fascism. You can't beat it with your own ideological purity.

The far right cope machine is already trying to manufacture a narrative about the massive loss the French fascists faced today. They are scared they can sense what’s coming to America and it’s not fascism. Popular fronts win and scare fascists. Keep them on the back foot they are weak and scared.

easy to chalk the stuff in france up to some vague platitude about ~voting~ but it feels to me like more proof that you have to give people something to vote FOR, and that socialism remains better equipped to beat fascism than liberalism does! just one gal’s opinion

The biggest issue with Biden coverage is that he’s now The Story, which means that most of the press is focused on The Story and not any of the context or consequences. If we were having a serious discussion about qualifications for presidency, age, and the two main candidates, I’d be fine with it.

One of the more under-discussed elements of replacing Biden and why it's unlikely is that it's a sky-high risk/low reward proposition for any contender. You have to turbo charge an election, try not to look power hungry, AND, if you lose, you will never ever live it down.

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

Not to rip off @quinnae.com's book, but: Change is made by movements of people fighting for or against something. It will probably not be accomplished by posting. It is in the interest of social media sites -- even this one! -- to make you think nothing can be changed, so you keep on posting.

The words in the constitution don't give the president immunity, nor was that the intention of the authors. But you must understand that the meaning of the constitutional vibes have evolved over time in a way only I can detect. Now there are penubras and emanations that tell me he is in fact immune.

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

Had this same thought this morning. In 2020, we had a crowded Democratic primary where 20 (21 with Bloomberg?) candidates, some of whom would also have been decent nominees, duked it out, many of them raising the same concerns people have now, and Biden still CRUISED to the nomination!

To be clear, I mean "above average" squarely in comparison with Trump's own decline as of late. The actual substance of his responses, at best, had the nuance and acuity of a children's board book, which is only not worth covering for the media because there's no novelty in Trump's behavior.

Especially when there's plenty of televised evidence that Trump is a rambling kook who had an above-average debate against another old guy. The idea that Biden couldn't come back from last night is just doomerism.

It is, in large part, a widespread cynicism and nihilism about a hypothetical voter who is too stupid to understand rhetorical or performative nuance. The kind of lack of faith in country that might very well be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Yeah. I don't know why people are only panicking over Biden when Trump is running in circles, and whose only coherent idea--which may very well work in his favor--is "I'm good for the country, and he's bad for the country" over and over again.
