George Takei :verified: 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽

In 2024, it appears facts are increasingly irrelevant as voters rely instead on “vibes" to judge their politics. There is a disturbing disconnect between objective reality and how voters feel, which is driving Trump's strength in the polls. In today's Big Picture, writer Todd Beeton digs into the root of this disconnect and explores how Biden can get facts and feelings back into alignment ahead of November. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p

The Big Picture · Americans' Reliance On Vibes Over Data In 2024 Is Hurting Biden's ReelectionBy The Big Picture

@georgetakei If you get good vibes off Trump your vibometer might need replacing though.

@georgetakei Unfortunately I feel like you could say kind of the same thing in reverse: the Biden campaign seems to be relying on "vibes" that the polls are off. I'm worried that Biden is genuinely losing and his campaign is ignoring the warning signs because they're inconvenient. Making things worse, this whole "blame the voters" angle has a very 2016 feel to it...

@jsonstache @georgetakei I doubt his campaign is ignoring. There’s something about Biden that suggests he doesn’t listen to those around him. I am not American and won’t comment on domestic matters, but he’s been a PR disaster for the USA.

"human's vibe, AI's hallucinate but damnit I love them both " - Stupid, by design and at any cost

@georgetakei are those “vibes” ignoring toxic traits, or embracing them? It will be interesting to see where the election lands and how the populace emerges if Trump wins.

@georgetakei I wonder if it is a two horse race but not the horses that many think.
