SHY NUDIST GRRL posted:Nationalize Facebook or burn it to the ground what a loving trash heap It'll be easier, quicker, and more secure to build a replacement as Facebook and Twitter have plenty of free/libre open source social network protocol competitors that can be used and maintained at any level (town, state, regional,fed). This kind of network can connect to a greater network of users to ensure a huge ecosystem and can more easily give citizens an active social directory of local officials who would be encouraged to have activity. As a new system the users initially will know who they are giving their information to and how it's used rather than sketchy user agreements or unwanted migration in event of a takeover(how would your data be handled if facebook sold, or was taken over?). Any service used by the government should be open source (preferably free/libre) so the users know exactly that with the least amount of doubt and if there is an issue the citizens can push for a change, and a fresh service will ensure a clean process. While many wouldn't like the governmental oversight and see it as a bad thing, it'd be entirely optional and they can stick with facebook/google/ms/twitter and their copyrights on photos and other privacy exploitations you have to agree to when participating in their service as that's the purchase price to have and use an account.

ex post facho posted:that happened here in colorado. that tactic garnered enough signatures to get on the ballot here in colorado. it was subsequently battered, quashed and shot down by most of the leading democrats in the state, out of state, and by dem-supporting special interest groups like PP. it requires riots and guillotines

I thought it was kind of weird that mainstream comedians were going for the "crazy enthusiastic relatives talking about their candidate on Facebook, am I right?" angle during the 2016 elections, because apparently Clinton was the Silent Majority candidate

Concerned Citizen posted:single payer doesn't happen without majority support. we're not there yet. but grassroots movements have been successful in the past, and they will be successful again in the future. i think the democratic leadership needs to be bolder and willing to back things people don't want, but that doesn't mean it's a prerequisite for victory. I understand the point you're trying to make, but I feel like the part you're missing is that peoples' opinions are also heavily influenced by the opinions expressed by their politicians. Your rationale seems to assume something along the lines of "people have opinions, and politician then act based upon those opinions", but it ignores the fact that people are actually quite flexible about most topics and usually (with the exception of the few issues that are specifically important to a person) just base their opinions on what they feel (for example) "a liberal should believe." So if Democratic politicians and advocacy groups suddenly started talking about how supporting single payer is an important "liberal issue", you'd probably see support increase dramatically. The reason it's been low until recently isn't because Americans are naturally more conservative, but because they've constantly been exposed to messaging telling them "this idea is fringe and unrealistic and/or bad." If anything, the fact that we've seen such a big upswing in support for single payer despite that is a sign of how strong its support is. I would actually go as far as to say that the views expressed by politician and the media have a bigger impact on peoples' political opinions than anything else (again with the exception of wedge issues like abortion or something). This issue is actually a good example of the issue I frequently see with the way mainstream Democrats analyze problems. They attempt to derive some sort of useful information from statistics/polls, but then they do a poor job of interpreting them (usually in the form of operating with faulty assumptions).

I am a bit heartened that here in Iowa, where the swing from Obama to Trump was 14 points, the democratic candidates for governor have largely moved left. Five of the seven have committed to supporting a $15 minimum wage in the state (the other two support a raised min wage but won't commit to a number), at least one is talking about universal healthcare at the state level. I just hope it works because the republican government has hosed the state sideways.
