Members janea4old Posted September 21, 2024 Members Share Posted September 21, 2024 (edited) The interview with Janet Jackson in the Guardian was conducted "a few weeks before the sudden death of her brother Tito". Hopefully her understanding has grown since then. But yeah sad to see such misinformation being spread.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 21, 2024 Members Share Posted September 21, 2024 Janet Jackson, bless her heart, clearly doesn’t read the newspaper or even watch a legitimate news program. Some time ago, I posted about celebrities sometimes being far removed from reality. Living in rarefied air, I think I said then. Exhibit A. And as someone who lost an older brother a year ago,of course I empathize with her loss at this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wendy Posted September 22, 2024 Members Share Posted September 22, 2024 Well, right or wrong, Janet Jackson is now getting positively dragged all over TwitX regarding her ignorant remarks about Kamala Harris and her father. Misinformation/Disinformation is poison. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 22, 2024 Members Share Posted September 22, 2024 She is also getting a lot of support from people who are using her to stir up more racial hatred and reminding us that Trump has done nothing against black people, and so on. She is so high profile it's a dream come true for Trump, although I think opinions are much more baked in this year than in 2016 so it won't have as much impact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wendy Posted September 22, 2024 Members Share Posted September 22, 2024 Not as much as the dragging; I'm on TwitX in another tab, and I'd say those dragging versus defending are at least twice that. And the ones defending her were already in the tank for Trump. He's gained no one new. And that's what he needs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 22, 2024 Members Share Posted September 22, 2024 Yeah, Janet's foolish misinformation is not going to move votes. And recent reports and polling indicate Trump's supposed mythical Black support is not there much after all. Meanwhile: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members janea4old Posted September 22, 2024 Members Share Posted September 22, 2024 (edited) One of the tweets @Vee cited above Ronald Brownstein @RonBrownstein https://x.com/RonBrownstein/status/1837861083409010886 Sept. 22, 2024 "Many striking findings here-including huge lead w/women & Harris exceeding Biden w/col+ whites & equaling w/non-col whites vs exits or Pew from 2020. But among most striking results: 57% know enough about #Project2025 to view it negatively, including 51% who are very negative." Brownstein is quoting this tweet of the NBC poll: I looked at the excerpts of the poll -- images within that tweet. Then I looked at the full link of ALL the polling questions and comparisons with prior polls. 26 pages, fascinating: https://documentcloud.org/documents/25171447-240405-nbc-september-2024-poll_922-release Fascinating to read all the questions asked, how it was done, rotation of choices on each call so as offset bias. So interesting. Edited September 22, 2024 by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted September 23, 2024 Members Share Posted September 23, 2024 Trump is gathering up a coat of many hatemongers. I still think the race is close enough to where it could make the difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 23, 2024 Members Share Posted September 23, 2024 (edited) Sometimes I want to just laugh off the "Comrade Kamala" stuff until I remember how effective it is for some voters, no matter how much she has tried to take a more centrist path. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn8jg11ynj7o Edited September 23, 2024 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
