Sarah Jessica Parker postet nicht über Politik, weil soziale Medien „wirklich kompliziertes Gespräch“ nicht „verdienen“: „FDR wurde ohne soziale Medien gewählt“.

>“I often don’t talk on social media because I don’t think it’s a place that’s deserving of any real complicated conversation,” Parker said. “I’m not interested in quick little snippets when it’s dealing with conflict or even elections sometimes. I really was so thoughtful about how I wanted to talk about the election because I think it turns into a distraction from a campaign. It turns into fodder. It’s misunderstood. You have no control over it.”

>Parker voiced that there are “so many ways” to motivate political change outside of posting online. She pointed out that politics went on for decades before the invention of social media and pulled an example from history, adding, “FDR was elected without social media.”

>Despite fans urging her to “be vocal” online, she feels more “comfortable” tackling social issues on her own terms.

>“I’m not going to talk about stuff that I don’t feel educated on,” Parker said. “I’m not going to jump in on really complex areas that I feel are deserving of far more thought, consideration, nuance — which I know no one’s interested in. And I just feel like I want to be helpful. I don’t want to hurt something that matters to me.”

FDR did fireside chats and surveys. He was the closest a president has come to using social media

Well, la dee da.

I agree. Now if only we can get our dumb politicians to stay off social media, it might actually make a difference.

Aw, don’t worry about it, why the long face?

I understand where she’s coming from. With the amount of bots trying to stir the pot, to people posting vehement comments, what’s the point of commenting on serious issues via social media as a public person? People have gone absolutely batshit, nuance and discussion no longer exists in the online sphere.
