    1. Yeah, I think this was another nail in the coffin for our #FITN tradition, unfortunately. Why should politicians bother retail politicking at the local level anymore when they can now just swoop in with a national media org, handpick an audience, and dominate the discussion? @Igardn/1656480843324334083

    Even if the calendar still has us technically #FITN, it ain't like it used to be anymore. Primaries are now nationalized events, and if parties adjust their calendars accordingly, it'll just be reflecting the new reality, sadly.

      I *wish* we could have the #FITN experience of the aughts back, but those days don't look like they'll be returning, unfortunately. This doesn't mean that I'm "giving in" just *quite* yet, it just means that I'm signaling that I'm getting ready to, when the time comes.
