In other words, trying to finalize their strategy to throw the midterms to their buddies in the Dhimwit Party.

(Yes, I know the source is Buzzfeed and the content is fake news, but the fact that they are colluding can only be for one reason)

Their tactics start wit shutting Republicans and Conservatives out of social platforms then off the internet altogether. Without pushback from political sources it can be done and will be done.

What is this sort of coordinated strategy worth as a campaign contribution to the Democrats?

They should have gone with a double secret meeting. They’re better.

If that’s not monopolistic collusion, nothing is.

How is this not an “in kind political contribution”?

Oh. That’s right. Rules only apply to Republicans.
Democrats don’t worry about laws.

They have an opportunity, here.

They can double down, or they can walk it back.

If they like the way things are going, where they are being seen as an increasingly partisan arm of Democrat politics, they can just keep doing what they are doing.

However, if they do not want to become political actors and want to maintain their position as centrists who serve all, they are going to have to change course pretty severely, and make a sincere effort to play this election fair.

They should keep in mind, when making this decision, the fact that Democrats always turn on their allies once they have exhausted their usefulness.

There will come a day when Big Tech becomes a political liability, and the Democrats will turn on them savagely and run them out of business. This is the Democrat way.

If they want to stay in business for the next twenty or thirty years, and make tons of money, year after year, they should make sure the Republican Party is around to protect free markets, the rule of law, and contracts.

These tech companies put on the front that they are cleaning up the efforts by outside foreign agents to meddle in our midterm elections. Actually,these goons are taking up the playbook used by the Russians to meddle in the U.S. elections. I am sure they can do Wikileaks real good with the latest hacking technology. They will call it Twitterleaks; as with pissing on our elections and calling it rain.

We would have given them our usual respect, I'm sure...

It is no different then their tactics to partner, then engulf with either a buy out or outright theft of intellectual property to dominate that these clowns have been doing for years with smaller firms that they want, especially MS. This is about control, and right now they aren't in it, their buds the Swampians are out of power, they will do anything to get it back, rather than deal with us the unwashed to support our VSGPDJT.

If we had an AG it would be worth investigating for RICO. But we have a faggot named sessions instead.
