In reply to the discussion: WTF are elected, or any DEMs still using that "Xtwit" site?? [View all]tishaLA
(14,794 posts)50. I asked my congressman's office this very thing
This was in the middle of me complaining that he, and most of the rest of our side, isn't doing enough -- or at least not telling us what he's doing. And my representative is one of the most progressive members of the House (Jimmy Gomez).
His office said "well, he posts on Twitter what he's working on."
"And why is he even using that Nazi's site, anyhow?"
"He feels it's important to reach as many people as possible."
"Okey, but why isn't he also posting on Bluesky, which has the benefit of having progressive users?"
I finally ended the call A couple minutes later by thanking her for letting me rant for a bit.

That bugs me as well, we are the Democratic party, and the word Democrat was created as a slur against Democratic.

I understand the urge to boycott websites and businesses that support RW crap.
