I will grant that the left is lacking in highly visible and effective leadership that can make specific, coordinated demands. And even that the Democrats are primarily reactionary, as the Democrats are the “face” of the left (with huge caveats about how they’re actually just a second conservative party, and not even left because they go out of their way to suppress the left). Democratic party leadership is just bad at politics and afraid to act.
But the idea that the left has abandoned the digital space is at least an incomplete assessment of the situation when billionaires are allowed to buy the town square and push whatever “algorithm” tweaks they want.
The algorithm can only do so much lifting. Reality is the ability to create content and bring it to the surface to get eyeballs on it is always under our control it just takes awareness that we need to be doing that. This is why they push the opinion that you just said so hard.
Who is “they”? The lizard people?
And no, that kind of straight line of content distribution is not under our control. I urge you to prove me wrong. I would actually love for you to make me eat my words here because I’m pretty sick of right wing media dominance and what it has done to ex friends of mine.
