Democratic operative David Brock wants to charge users for a “Twitter-like” website exclusively for progressives, one of his many ideas to monetize his network of political advocacy and nonprofit groups, internal documents reveal.

For a fee, visitors to Brock’s Shareblue website will gain access to an exclusive knock-off of the popular social network, one “free from conservative trolls and harassment.”

The plan is one of eight revenue-generation ideas pitched to donors at a retreat in Florida over the weekend. Brock assembled wealthy liberals at the conference to plot political strategy in the Trump era and promote four organizations that he founded or currently oversees.

One of those groups is Shareblue, and its mission is not just political: documents from the conference obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show that it is also determined to make money.

A website for Communist-fascist moonbats ? Gee, how original. Like the other 99% of the media and social networks.

I understand there is some unused space in a bathroom to place the server for the twitter knock off. Call it twitter in the sh!++er or some catchy name.

Yes, let us build a safe room on the internet so only ideas you like can be discussed and never have to be exposed to an opposing view. That is the ticket to liberal nirvana.

Just spending a minute on the page confirms that it is a completely alternative universe, devoid of reality.

It's The Onion without humor...

LOL. Another safe space, or perhaps a vacuum. The cranial structure is amazing for its ability to withstand the implosion that would be thought to occur when one adopts the liberal ideology, perhaps this is an indicator of possible mental correction. Nah maybe not.

What’s really horrifying is that the taxpayers will no doubt be funding his efforts, at least in part, via grants, or nonprofit status, etc etc.

Defund David Brock!

Is this David Brock a George Soros wannabe?

The gene pool needs a little more chlorine in the liberal left end.
