Gregory HaysThis is a very insightful point from @melaniesill. Real-world events the NYT might otherwise frame as "Gay People in Florida Face Increasing Harassment" or "Florida Abortion Ban Leaves Women Desperate" are now exclusively presented as "DeSantis Seeks to Rally Evangelical Voters" or "DeSantis Leans Into his Anti-Woke Brand." Once you notice it it's everywhere, and it's completely toxic.
YY Ahn@aristofontes @melaniesill here is a great video from @Vox about this “tactical framing” https://youtu.be/UpqFaf8vQfk
Why you still don't understand the Green New Deal

JJ Peterson@yy what YOU don’t understand about the aspirational GND is that the actual actions the Biden administration is taking to address climate change far exceeds anything in the GND could have accomplished, is transitioning the country to renewable energy and simultaneously phasing out fossil fuel dependency, and he needs 4 more years for his most progressive and diverse administration in history to finish the job.
@JJPeterson I’m merely pointing out the concept of tactical framing and linking a video that explains it well. I didn’t say that GND is aspirational or anything like that.
@yy the video was irritating af to me, so I’m not sure that worked.
