(9,365 posts)I'm sad that Dems are leaving X because most young people get their news on social media and Twitter. Over 100 million Americans are on X - twice as many men than women - and 80% are 18 to 44 yrs old.
Before Elon bought Twitter, more Dems were posting than Republicans. Dems left in droves, leaving the Republicans to have more influence on the young.
Many think this also contributed to Trump's win as the Republican's had a greater influence on the young on social media. Rogan's interview with Trump was on Twitter and it ended up with over 40 million Americans watching that interview between YouTube, Spotify, Rumble, Twitter etc.
