This site alone represents the traditional freedom of speech of the soap box in the town common. The corporate machines that run the big papers and networks are not monopolies.

The mere fact that Trump goes directly to the people is proof that there is a free exchange of ideas. If twitter drops him, he will find another source.

That is how this is supposed to work.

and networks are not monopolies.

Absolutely and vehemently disagree. When I see Pro-Life organizations being allowed to put their campaign material on the broadcast airwaves, I will agree.

All you can get on the national airwaves are opinions which the Liberal network controllers will allow. You cannot get any opinions (such as transgenders are mentally ill, or that young black males commit ~50% of all crime.) on national broadcasting networks.

Only approved opinions/news are allowed. Information which is very objectionable to liberals is never allowed.

It is a defacto monopoly on broadcast airwaves.

If twitter drops him, he will find another source.

And what would that be? Gab? "Gab" broke 1/2 a million total users recently. Twitter has 330 million monthly users, giving it a ratio of 500 thousand to 330 million or 0.15% of Twitter's market.

I don't know of another "Twitter" on the market.

That is how this is supposed to work.

Switching to an audience 0.15% the size of your previous one I would hardly call working.
