Without the ability to place ads or fund-raise, a presidential run is a non-starter.
But of course the Corporate Services Group called "the GOP" is all in favor of an unaccountable leftwing monopoly deciding on who is allowed to run for president.
Isn't it great that monopolistic transnational corporations have "Supreme Courts" that dictate to countries who they're allowed to vote into office?
For Bitch McConnell and the rest of the Get-Along Gang: This is exactly the world they've always {dreamed of}.
Maxine Waters and LeBron James have received no penalty from FaceBook or any other social media monopoly.
Note that the broadcast media are required to accept political ads for the best available price, as a precondition for using that which they are not entitled to (the public airwaves).
There is absolutely no reason that Congress cannot pass laws requiring that monopolies act with similar fairness to all sides in political matters, to keep an immunity to lawsuit (section 230) that they are by no means entitled to.
But the corrupt Corporate Party will not even entertain such a notion, because they're being paid to protect the monopolies' monopolies.
While FaceBook's Supreme Court decides who is allowed to run for public office, the media and leftwing advocates begin the next campaign:
The tech monopolies now willing thralls of the far left, the next item on the agenda is to outlaw any competition to the leftwing-controlled monopolies.
And they're agitating for just that, beginning the campaign to convince the public that it's too dangerous to allow "misinformation" to spread on any platform that isn't a monopoly controlled by the left:
"Some social media advocates are worried that right-wing extremist groups could use the Parler app to recruit individuals to other messaging spaces and fringe platforms that make it easier for spreaders of misinformation to do harm." -- ABC News
Remember, CNN, NBC, the Washington Post, the NY Times spread misinformation every day -- it's literally their business model -- and there is never a single strike or warning issued to them.
And the GOP keeps cashing their checks as they sell you and your children to FaceBook, Google, and Twitter.
Unless they give him a contract that says they will not throw him or his supporters off for political speech, what’s the point? Other than to direct his traffic to another site. Hope he and/or Lindell or Bongino do get another one to stand up.
Exactly.
He doesn’t need FB, nor ads. All he needs to do is run and if we have voter ID and no Dominion machines it’s a done deal...he wins.
