https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1772980651534229876

Edit: A lot of CEmen don't know what a POV is either. POV means "point of view". When a meme says "POV" that's calling out that the perspective of the camera in the video is that of the following text. So the Biden Twitter manager is trying to follow up this previous tweet

https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1771613050342191150

with a meme version. But the Biden Twitter made a mistake that some people do which is not understanding what "POV" means. They accidentally used it thinking it just means "the following is a meme".

The idea that they intentionally tried to say the viewer is the one who believes healthcare is a right etc is, IMO, just giving the account manager too much credit. Like that is not the face value meaning given the chosen image, the tweet is clearly intended to promote Biden and Kamala's policy goals

Ehh, if y'all automatically default to "POV" only having something to do with porn... That sounds like a y'all problem

If this topic is just a fun sarcastic topic, I'll moonwalk out of here and be on my way

I think the idea is supposed to be that they're warmly accepting you/greeting you, or you came to them for it, so in this case, it's used correctly, for what they're trying to convey.

Holy shit guys "POV" means Point of View. It's not "a porn thing", even if that is used as a descriptor there.

When a meme says "POV" that's calling out that the perspective of the camera in the video is that of the following text. So the Biden Twitter manager is trying to follow up this previous tweet

https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1771613050342191150

with a meme version. But the Biden Twitter made a mistake that some people do which is not understanding what "POV" means. They accidentally used it thinking it just means "the following is a meme".

The idea that they intentionally tried to say the viewer is the one who believes healthcare is a right etc is, IMO, just giving the account manager too much credit.

Maybe I'm old but POV is used for games, tv shows, movies, books, ect when you want to try to point out a character viewpoint.

I admit I don't really know the full context behind POV and how it's used on Twitter, but the way I understood the post is that Biden is taking a "selfie", which means the photo is from his POV, snapping the shot of him and Harris. Basically saying that the people shown through his POV (which is through the lense of his selfie), they support healthcare.

Is that not right?

If it was Biden's POV then you would see the phone being held out from the opposite direction, and Biden's arm extending out from the POV rather than toward it as in the picture.

I think this actually is the answer, except they're attempting to say they do. The idea is supposed to be that you're looking at them as the answer to what you want (health care).

Considering Biden has an approval rating under 40 percent, I would say that I'm in the majority in feeling that way.

He used it correctly, and even if he didn't it would still be correct because it'd be just how the memers do the POV trend.

I mean, it is trivial and has no bearing on any bigger picture. But when did it stop being a time honored internet tradition to call out institutions and old people trying to use memes?
