      Attention economy on Twitter encourages continuing the Bernie-Hillary primary fight. In reality, Bernie voters almost all voted for Clinton.

      I've seen this destructive cycle elsewhere, wrote about it in my book. Political organizers have no problem bringing the wings together.

      But there's an active, attention-hungry constituency on social media—with mass media attention—committed to stringing this out many seasons.

      Can this seeking of attention, replaying extinct fights in performative, RT-ready fashion do real harm? Yes, yes it can. Seen it elsewhere.

      I don't mean to say there is no tension between different wings in the Democratic party. I mean to say grassroots can and does hash it out.

      The social media constituency, otoh, committed to the "can't work together/betrayal" narrative because that's how you make a cheap remake.

      That's what Wikileaks hacks exploited with mass media and journo Twitter cooperation. Endless replay of Bernie-Clinton in.. October 2016.

      External "information operations" only work to the degree there is a real fault line, and people willing to exploit it locally.

      There is a real struggle for the soul of the Dems. But the attention-driven social media reheaters of cliches and putdowns isn't it.

      They just want the attention, and that requires that the fight continue unproductively, based on cliches, putdowns, burns—all great for RT.

      Point isn't Sanders or anyone else cannot do their politics, or there's no disagreement. It's the attention economy.https://twitter.com/thetawniest/status/879374960145203201 …

          That same economy that continues to give him public platforms to mouth off? This should be accepted without pushback? No.

          Why are you retweeting them? Rewarding that grudge-nursing behavior with attention feeds into the problem, doesn't it?
