I think AOC is the only politician I'm currently following, even though I live in the UK and I'm not a US citizen. It's just really difficult to find politicians who seem genuine and share my ideals.

Microwaving tuna is authentically terrible.

LOL! I love how them trying to be "real" just comes off as SO fake. Still, it's fun to laugh at.

Definite entertainment value.

I like that they try. Success or failure are secondary. Though, I gotta say, the cringeworthiness makes the rest of Social Media look just a tiny bit better.

I like the aspects where it can function as a 'digital town hall', giving anyone the ability to speak directly to their representatives and promote community discussion. I dislike the aspects where it just functions as advertising in a new medium, with all of the usual inauthenticity that entails.

That is an upside - social media is a more direct channel of communication and discussion.

That's the thing, from authenticity perspective. It's has a downside. Bc we have seen how these people pedal false narratives and brainwash masses. Maybe, they shouldn't be allowed during or anywhere near the elections to use social media. Not individually, but rather each party should have only one handle that runs for all. In this way, we can take a hold on the credibility of these parties and their sources.

Glad I was able to be apart of this🙌🏽

Cringe. Total cringe. And to your question regarding if politicians should have filter on SM, they are filtering their behavior on SM. They're acting out a caricature of the demographic they're trying to appeal to.

What a great video concept, great coverage 🙏🙏

Politicians on socail media are very... *interesting* it's kind of cute how they try to tap on to trends. There most likely not going to change the internet with their hustle for cash and sharing there platform veiws and stuff. Everyone did that before them so there just hoping on. And besides in America we accept all sorts of stuff like Florida. Its definitely not authentic but its not turbo charging hate for politicians. It just a new community that we might dislike or like literally. But still accpect. "Go with the flow" , perfectly describes the internet and its 20 seconds of memory.

Politicians should be immune from being banned from social media

Everyone talking about cringey politicians, but social media altogether makes me cringe. Except maybe a little bit of KZread here and there 😁

Hilary Clinton on tik tok: roflcopter haha 420 big chungus, am I right youth?

Why is it that it's okay for the public and the media to attack politicians on social media but politician shouldn't be allowed on their own behalf to respond to them?

All this really is is an early trial run of more carefully crafted social appearances of politicians, which will favor more strongly people who can easily change their face and attitude in a moment to play whoever they're facing. Politicians connecting via social media is just a good way to train sociopaths and psychopaths to run our nations. It has worked in every industry that has tried it.

i would say that with the rise of politicians using social media and most people being unprepared on how to think of it its risking, and really have already created this issue imo, an issue where people will start Stanning or like treating politicians similar to celebrities. Which is an issue, because then we have people who will defend or attack politicians no matter what they do, even if they do something unexpected. Im worried it'll create a group of people who refuse to hold their candidates accountable or will refuse to acknowledge that a politician did something genuinely good. I dont think that politics should be a popularity contest in this form

It's complicated, because some of our politicians were ALREADY celebrities before they became politicians (Reagan, Trump) ...the lines are pretty blurred.

Man, as if social media wasn't unappealing already, now it's turbo politic. BaCk In mY dAy the internet was cat pics and fun.

It's a whole different beast these days, that's for sure.

Social media at least can show both sides of the story; but as time goes on, we all know there is a higher bias in one direction then the other. For example Joe Biden literally just said the N-word with the Hard R in a news conference yesterday. Plus; don't forget Charlemagne the God's interview with Joe Biden were Joe Biden said "if you have trouble figuring if you are for me or Trump, then you Ain't BLACK" I would never vote for someone solely on the color of there skin.

Chile 🤣...

I had to fast-forward through those clips..... 😖

Really dislike that. As you said near the end, she's not sharing a recipe, she's selling ideas through this means. Social media as a whole is a really really big problem as information is unverified, condensed, and very fastly shared. So, yeah, I don't like it :(

🤣

AOC is cringe Af and her ideas are nuts

who's this andrew yang? i've not heard of him does he even exist? what does he stand for politically, like i hope its democratic side? but i know some asian americans are conservative but most asian americans i know are progressive.

Most TikToks are cringe anyway soo

Why do most of the teenagers interviewed for this video sound like they're drunk? Slurring their words, hardly moving their teeth apart... seriously, why?
