Just a prole asking a prole to prole them.

I’m not an expert, just a prole, but this is something I’ve wondering about.

What if the user-ship on X is closer to 75-80% bots on right-wing content creator accounts? What that would mean is that their inflated numbers would push advertisers their direction putting more money in their pockets.

1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed.

Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance.

My org @mmfa.bsky.social did this study and has been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

I find it odd Nancy Mace decided to start dressing like Ed Gein’s mother.

Trump hates this photo of him. Definitely don't share it far and wide today.

the same people who warned you about john fetterman are warning you about that dude in Maine. if you want to get duped into another fetterman, by all means continue attacking Janet Mills.

if you'd like a reliable vote for democracy, democratic values, and Mainers, go with a proven track record.

Remember we're already in a world of Kavanaugh stops based solely on ethnicity. If you are from a targeted group, this can happen to you no matter what your citizenship status is. What if you forget your wallet at home? You could end up in detention for days or worse.
