Lots of anger being directed at the Democratic House members who voted "against socialism". Can we at least acknowledge that the Republican's entire purpose in framing this vote was to generate such intra-party commotion? And it was successful. This is right out of the Russian election interference playbook that brought us similar wedge issues in 2024. Not saying to ignore members voting records, particularly with the primaries coming up, but we should be wary of being played.
RE: Why does it matter who owns Bluesky? Because, as we saw in the run up to the 2024 election, these social networks can be used as information warfare tools, to alternatively suppress or amplify. We have already seen how administration misinformation is allowed on #Bluesky. What guarantees do we have that Democrats will not be deemphasized or muted in the upcoming election cycle?
