  • Sorry to jump in on an unrelated thread; that last reply you made to me (about your tally) is under a post that has now been deleted. You mentioned you’re gonna make a final tally and a mega thread on election day; will those be in politics@lemmy.world?

    Just confirming here, since I don’t wanna touch the ghost reply in my inbox, since lemmy doesn’t seem to like that situation very much

















  • It’s more explicit, on TV, in sound-bite chunks.

    In a world where everything revolves around pushing the most information inside a short attention span, this can matter a lot. A clip can go viral, become a meme, become repeated and played again and again, it doesn’t matter what someone did over a few months if everything they hear about that person is what they did in a couple of seconds.

    Having trump calling someone the N-word, on video, would become a lightning rod of confirmation that people can shove into others’ faces, and show them that “do you want to vote for this man”? It doesn’t take 1 hour of explanation, it takes 10 seconds of a sideline TikTok video.
