Wow: Vivek Ramaswamy just inadvertently revealed that his once-promising presidential campaign has turned into a sad bid for social media fame.
On Friday he called for a Republican debate exclusively on social media, which only makes sense if that’s the only audience he still cares about.
Of course, he reclaimed It would be a way to increase the audience, but you don’t get a larger audience by doing something. more difficult see.
Your idea would be shrink the audience, while increasing the proportion of visits addicted to clickbait.
The fact that he suggests Tucker Carlson as host only doubles down on that tactic: Like Ramaswamy, Carlson used to raise important issues that much of the media didn’t want to touch, but these days he’s largely dedicated to button-pushing to a select group of friends.
After all, that is the main path to social media success.
And the direction of Ramaswamy’s campaign, which increasingly relies on conspiracy theories and its more “unique” ideas for its appeal.
It also fades in general polls, as Republican voters select the more serious candidates and reject their antics.
At this point, Vivek, you are only damaging any future political hopes you might have had.
You could afford to retire, but if you still want to work, may we suggest you focus on your YouTube channel?
