Better do something than do nothing.

That's a very well written analysis! I agree, things won't be easy but we must try. I think he's at his peak now or will soon reach his peak and then start declining. With Twitter I see the most evidence of it declining so I think we must strike Twitter while the iron is hot.

When we unite we are stronger than him. Pressure works. That's why ABC should not have settled.

Good! Let's work to keep the momentum going and encourage everyone you know to boycott Twitter/X. If you still use Twitter/X make a post saying you can find me on Lemmy/Bluesky/Mastodon or whatever website/app you choose to replace it.

Don't let Elon Musk control you and your country, stop Twitter/X now!

Good! Let's accelerate this trend. If you have friends or family still using X tell them to delete their account.

It's true. It's often said that Trump frequently uses this method.

Here is another good website with more information on the Fox Fee: https://www.nofoxfee.com/

I tried to find it but I couldn't.

It also gained a biased algorithm: https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/17/24298669/musk-trump-endorsement-x-boosting-republican-posts-july-algorithm-change

People in the EU: please contact people in your government to ban X in the EU: https://ban-x-in.eu/

If you're in the EU consider banning the other Disease X: https://ban-x-in.eu/

Note that signing the petition alone likely won't be enough. Please also contact people in your government to help make it happen. X/Twitter is violating EU law and must be banned.

Checkout that guy's post history. He may be part of a misinformation campaign or a victim of misinformation.

it’s important to redirect negative thoughts and feelings, but you have to do this without jumping to condescending or infantilising language.

So much this! I used to be a Trump supporter myself and I've made some people angry because of my previous political views. I got yelled at for what I said. Even though in hindsight their reaction was somewhat justified all that did was reinforce my views and dig a deeper hole.

I get what you mean there. I hope they have improved their security since then.

I researched this exact question. There is a way called deep canvasing https://www.vice.com/en/article/how-to-change-a-voters-mind-is-deep-canvassing/

It's scientifically proven. Try having a one on one conversation with someone. Listen to what they say and respond with empathy. Then gradually and calmly introduce your message that is related to what they said. For example if the person you are talking to said they are worried about grocery prices and specifically egg prices you could mention that bird flu was the root cause of the price increase and that Trump's tariffs will raise prices on groceries. Building trust helps your message get across. I've had personal conversations with Trump supporters who trust me and you'd be surprised how much success you can have.

Wikipedia explains who they are very well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GiveSendGo

GiveSendGo is a Christian crowdfunding website.[5] GiveSendGo has attracted controversy for allowing far-right extremists to fundraise, including neo-Nazis, white supremacists and hate groups.[15]

They have also had multiple security breaches.

I think either my post wasn't clear or you misread it. I'm talking about simple actions you can take to improve the DNC. If you get involved you can have your voice heard in the party. I'm not talking about AOC's influence, I'm talking about yours.

What have you done to make things better? Sitting and not doing anything lets the other people do things you don't want. Having an influence increases the chances of getting what you want. Imagine if people primaried Nancy Pelosi. Also Nancy Pelosi is likely trying to tank AOC's committee bid because she feels she's making the best decision for the party. That's because people who feel AOC is good for the party aren't being heard by her.

This is a false equivalency. Harris wouldn't send migrants to concentration camps. She wouldn't attack our allies. She wouldn't cut social security and VA benefits. Instead she wanted to help normal people like you and me.

Trump constantly praises dictators such as Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-Un and has a history of sexually assaulting people.

There are ways to change it. You can attend local Democratic party meetings in your city. You can also vote in the primaries and you could also call Nancy Pelosi yourself. https://pelosi.house.gov/contact/offices/washington-dc-office

Note about contacting her: sadly she was hospitalized just recently: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/nancy-pelosi-hospitalized-congressional-visit-luxembourg-rcna184144 even if I disagree with her sometimes I still wish her a full recovery. It's likely that no matter her health it would go to her secretary so perhaps if lots of people call the message would still get passed along to her once she gets better.

Amazon has lots of money and they can easily afford this PR/marketing promotion that they choose to do. Amazon drivers work hard and deserve to be paid fairly for their work. Even though this is just marketing it still results in the drivers getting more money so if you order something from Amazon you might as well do it at every opportunity you get.
