Hey, at least it ain’t Mike Hunt.

And no, don’t say it fast.

If Twitter went tits up, there would be an alternative, hopefully a better one.

Dont be concerned about Trump. He can definitely take care of himself.

“The only solution is a free market solution. Imagine there is a conservative or neutral option. Trump moves there and takes millions of users with him.”

That’s a workable market solution.

Whining about Facebook and Twitter’s editorial policies is not a solution.

I say join, tweet nothing except censorship on Twitter. Basically, make them ban you to show Twitter censorship is true.

Yeah but @jack at twitter is lying. Says he is fair but no he's a marxist banning conservatives. Why doesn't he say his twitter is a marxist site which is the truth?

Ditto for Facebook , Google, Amazon ,youtube.

Just Google controls what we see on the internet.

Any of these leftist monopolies can kill any website on the internet not on their platform by just refusing to allow the sharing of it.

All of these together are making us conservatives invisible on the whole internet which will lead to the democrats taking the midterms and to a socialist state. Is that what we want ?

I agree “hypocrisy” is accurate, but it doesn’t seem specific enough. People can be hypocritical in a huge number of ways that are not related to this.

Screw twitter. Start a new one

Starting a new one is fine and dandy, but it's only about three months to a very important election. Not enough time to migrate over.

Except demand.

There is a huge demand for a platform that is neutral. Their criteria for banning would be legal/illegal.

Illegal, shut them down and call the police.

Legal, hands off policy.

The censorship that is going on is not part of a free society. It is part of a tyrannical police state.

It does not matter that these platforms are not owned by the DNC. They are simpatico. They are colluding with the DNC to censor the political opposition.

I have a prepaid phone just for websites that ask for a phone number. Never answer it.

“footnote: Although its not technically censorship if its not a government doing it.”

No. It’s censorship. Just not a violation of the First Amendment, and thus, possibly legal.

They’re locking out conservatives. They are out to give the midterms to the democrats so they can impeach Trump.

This is war.

There are apps which generate fake phones , numbers , or prepaid phones which are cheap

Can you be more specific or copy a portion.

Thanks for replying to a post. I was starting to feel like FR was ghosting me. LOL.

Oh no, I want to stay within their constitutional authority(which would them a tenth their size).

We are free people, we need to act like it.

Asking the govt to fix every problem would make us serfs.

Free market solutions. People have the power to change things but too many people are not willing to use it.
