    Why do conservatives hate private companies so much?

    You are free to go circle jerk on Parlor.

    At least you dont deny their complicity. Similar to how biden wont deny the emails are illegitimate. Go ahead and elect that clown.

    After voting for trump in 2016 and supporting him again in 2020 after all we now know about trump, do you really think you should be questioning anyone else's candidate?

    Trump narrowing the gap in AZ/NV. Trump needs FL/AZ/NV/IA/PA.

    NC looks like a goner for him but Dems need to hold AZ by all means. Makes sense why Harris has been campaigning so hard there this past week.

    If trump takes AZ/NV then its a new game.

    Why do Dems need to hold AZ, it's always been a Red state.

    Private company vs POTUS. You don’t get the difference? I won’t go into the merit of those cases but I don’t agree with your take.

    Today, Trump said the anonymous author who revealed himself should be prosecuted. Do you get what this means?

    Have you completely given up on a moral government or you are fine with an immoral one, where supreme leader can silence anyone he doesn’t like and prosecute them as well.

    What if your children grew up to be liberal or conservative? Should the child be subjected to suppression of speech and prosecution by the government because a supreme leader doesn’t like them?

    Sorry, but you are supporting not only an immoral person but one that turn the government into an immoral agency against freedom if he gets his way (and he has a good chance of doing that with a 2nd term).

    This is psychosis on a social scale that number in the tens of millions. I think you would have to go back to WWII and Hitler with his propaganda machine against the Jews. Hitler lied and his minions bought them to the point of dehuma
    Trump is not winning NV. Firewall is now at 47,000. Jon Ralston has 5 different scenarios by election day, assuming the current numbers and trends --- Trump loses in all of them.

    Ralston is the guy to trust when in comes to polling and elections in Nevada.

    Twitter is a platform not a publisher. There are guidelines. I dont think trump should silence anyone. I dont think anyone should be suppressed. I dont think our leader is nearly as bad as you guys think. Bobulinski has receipts and the media is still ignoring it. I understand why, but it is troubling nonetheless

    I like how some of these morons are programmed to think everybody the left nominates is a clown or literally the worst candidate possible. That they are the opposite of normal.

    I don't think most on the left would say that about any candidates from the right except for the dumb **** in chief.

    Twitter is an ad platform, they answer to advertisers

    I really don't know why product boycotts are not used as a social tool more. Seems easy to organize. Who advertises on Tucker Carlson? 50% of the people stop buying their products

    Cruz is more of a hack or a b****. He’s a smart dude, unlike our president.

    We've been over this before.

    Twitter is a publicly traded company who's sole mission is to maximize return on investment for shareholders. Nothing less and nothing more. Any decision Twitter makes as a company is based on that goal alone. So any decision such as what to censor and what to fact check is purely determine by market analysis of employees at Twitter that will science maximum return on investment.

    This goes for Google, Amazon, Apple etc.

    These companies don't have political biases. They have "maximizing profits" bias. Same with CNN and Fox News with their parents companies. Fox News is a special case because when it was privately owned, it had a agenda set by the owner (Murdoch). This created a target consumer base. Which means when it was sold to a publicly traded entity, it was in the publicly traded company's best interest to maintain the consevative bias to not lose its consumer base.

    Ya Romeby was a rather dull boring candidate where if he was elected president, I wouldn't be concerned about the future of democracy. I would disagree with the country's direction in terms of Reaganomics but I wouldn't be concerned the country would be going down a right wing fascist rabbit hole.

    Same with John McCain. Though Sarah Palin actually concerned me. That lady was to dumb to be a heartbeat away from the president. Donald Trump is even more insane than that clown.
