It's missing the mark because the people are victims of misinformation fed to them by algorithms. Those algorithms assure that they will seldom see something they don't like. How can Dems (or even Reps) penetrate that? A 'red' person like Dope is only going to "follow" content he agrees with, and any algorithms are only going to suggest content he will like (which won't be Elizabeth Warren). Similarly, a 'blue' person will get lots of Elizabeth Warren, but probably no Mike Johnson.

Which is why I was trying to make the point that social media itself needs to be held somewhat accountable for what they host on their platforms. Otherwise, you get more armed nutjobs storming pizza parlors looking for child sex slaves. He was well-intentioned (I'm against child sex slaves, too), but grossly misinformed, largely by social media. If social media is where people get their info, then there needs to be some mechanism that helps to assure it is at least accurate.

I wasn't going to post this, but it seems a bit relevant now. John Oliver doing a dive on content moderation. Yes, HBO/MAX isn't an old-time news source. But, as with some YouTubers like Perun, they do their homework and can show it (and often do as part of their programs). That is the difference between them, and someone like Alex Jones or Hegseth.
