(fundamentally this drives the 2016 Primary Deadender discourse because “Well these unenlightened MORONS believe X about the economy” is invariably a Sanders (or Warren, etc) applause line. This doesn’t make it right at all but does sort of suggest the original claim ignores… a bunch of stuff)
The Mall Krampus (@themallkrampus.bsky.social)
To continue the subtweeting I do sort of think it’s funny also that there is a subgenre of the iron “Nobody is Saying” law where bluesky discourse attempts to foist off a problem to The Unenlightened Proles when elsewhere in the thread two people with grad degrees are arguing over the issue

I am both amused and horrified by the notion that there exist people who are deeply committed to the idea that, not only should the Dem platform be driven by the audience of a text-based social media platforms, but that there is a conflict between various platforms over which one will be in charge

Beyond the mass of people who were 9 years old, I am unsure whether you can categorize “actively reconning one’s memories so people who were nine years old at the time think I’m cool and progressive on text-based social media” as forgetting as-such.

Memetically he’s the guy who Rogan, during interviews/segments, asks to Google stuff.
