Bottom is falling out…. BREAKING: Stunning reporting from CNN reveals sources within the Trump campaign believe the bottom has fallen out from underneath Donald Trump. There is a sense of panic within the Trump campaign. This is huge. pic.twitter.com/HWr145HeY6— Democratic Wins Media (@DemocraticWins) November 5, 2024
If it truly is the time of despair and panic then we shall see if he lights the fuse… If he does everyone that plays along with this goes down in flames as well
Yeah but for instance Brogan was pretending to be a RFK guy. As unpopulist points out, he's just a propagandist for MAGA at the end of the day
I said before that the media loves a horse race, and will prop up Trump to make it look like there is one. But the one thing they love more is drama. This is drama and they will eat Trump alive to get more. I just wish it started a day or two ago.
Dems have been very good at shaping this narrative in the last week. I noted Plouffe was at the centre of it, with his story about late breaking indies Maybe it's also true but whatever way - they seeded a momentum story which can have major impact when so many people only decide in the last week
I only saw about 0.2% of the interview, so I may be corrected on this, but it really seemed that Rogan was trying to help Trump as much as possible and guide him towards answers that his viewers would like and Trump wasn't having it.
Yes - i posted the unpopulist interview which shows how he is a total fraud. He pretends to be a truth teller whereas he just platformed MAGA propaganda. Indeed the only time he really pushed back at all was on Trump being too in favour of vaccines lol These guys like Rogan are best understood as fanfic IMO. If you look into other genres like True Crime, you see the same formats - very long, fireside chat style "lives" full of conspiracy and rambling conversations which the algo boosts and which hold a lot of ads
Joe Rogan and his followers represent basic bitch men. They aren't smart and if you talk to them you can walk them through things and help them make sense and feel better about it. They're really dumb and insecure and lash out against anything they don't get that isn't super ignorant.. Rogan himself is such a malleable tool that if you go into the show to sell a topic (whatever topic it may be) Joe will do most of the selling himself… he gives folks plenty of time to articulate ideas as well and does minor pushback regardless of how blatant it is He will watch a random video 10 mins before going on air then him and a guest will discuss the thing with minimal knowledge and act as subject matter experts.. its easily digestible
This is certainly part of why the pills are so dumb. The other is the pollsters are using AI models to simulate results. https://missouriindependent.com/2024/10/01/pollsters-are-turning-to-ai-this-election-season/ AI is dumb as bricks and when you feed it garbage, you get garbage. When the results don't align with your preconceived notions, you edit the data until it does. So download data from Twitter, et al, on topics, feed it into a model with how you think people would respond, and if you get results you don't like, you massage the data until you do. These people are the worst.
I don’t have a problem trying it out. I do have a problem using it as their reported results without plenty of testing and comparison with actual results.
I have a problem with it as a statistician. We are so far away from simulating human behavior in this manner. The Internet is hardly a reliable method to understand people's thoughts on current issues. We know that owners of social media manipulate what is shown and isn't and that can sway things a lot. It also means you end up with the loudest voices have the biggest impact, just like money does under Citizens. If some tech bro wants to play with it in his villa, fine. But it should not be used to sway who is elected, what policies to enact, and what laws to pass. That's insane. You want AI to use data from Twitter to determine what policies should be enacted?
Have you not followed dear Meg's career arc? She craved mainstream success but flopped hard. So then she became another content creator, but the algo being what it is, only the worst kind of MAGA conspiracists and fash curious handmaidens get views - and she is just that thirsty
Pfft - no one is more thin skinned than Meg She spent the last couple of years thirsting for clicks and getting big mad with anyone who points out her wild hypocrisy
I'll give Megyn Kelly credit for remaining a shit stain of a human even when got spat out by the MAGA machine and landed at NBC. Most others do a 180 and pretend to be a whole different person.
Stories about his new black and gold hat and tie being some sort of message to his Proud incels er Boys. Conspiracies abound. Or a new sales scam for a $40 cap.
Complete shit stain indeed...Sometimes I wonder what motivates those people? She has plenty of money....I dont get it...
The “Gold watch” wasn’t a real hit. But Drumpf the ever grifter keeps trying. “Patriotism Is Alive. Shop Now — Embark on a journey with America's greatest brand—find your bold and brave gear here. Get ready to win bigly and visit the exclusive shop for the best in....”. “Nazi gear”
She is just that thirsty. But unfortunately for Meg she was a replaceable cog at fox and had little actual talent.
