[I’m in “Parler”, but, one gripe.

Why the name?

Isn’t that French?

Is parler an American company?

Why not “speech” or “FreeSpeech” or “FirstAmendment” or 1stAmendment?

Parler doesn’t sound too American to me. Perhaps something with more relevant meaning to it?]


The internet has been in existence for around 30 years. The obvious and good names are all taken.

Given that Biden’s victory margin in GA was 10,000 votes, it’s a tactic that could succeed even if a tiny sliver of GOP voters went with it. Very creative of the Democrats to run with it.

That would be true if they pronounced it “PAR-lay” like the French weenies, but it is actually said “PAR-ler” like that room your great granny had, and what could be more American than that?

This story true or not, Parler will disappoint everybody who currently thinks it is some sort of first amendment haven.

Maybe I am missing something but wouldn’t it just steer the win to the Dem if we encourage triue Conservatives to “Write in Trump?” Splitting the Conservative vote seems more like a Dem scheme than a viable plan for our side.

Yep - seems like Parler knows the difference between FRee speech and running a scam

That is just the point. The Dems/media want to split the Republican vote so the Dems can win and take over the US Senate. Not gonna happen.

The word "relevant" has French origins. This is how English works, we steal whatever is useful. It's why our language is the best in the world. It's a mutt language and mutts are the best dogs.

English is already drenched with French words, since 1066

French and Spanish and even many other languages. But, that's not the point.

Parler is fully French, and speak or talk or converse, are not derived from parler. Surely we can come up with something better and more creative.

Yeah, I do see your point. English is a dynamic language, but there are situations where you oughtn’t to contribute to that. I don’t think they put much thought into it. It’s hard to find an available domain name with a pronounceable set of letters nowadays, let alone one that has meaning remotely related to the purpose of the site.

This could be only a joke, but that is what this star Q lawyer Lin Wood is preaching and if you read the latest posts then many freepers are going along with his insanity.

“Don’t vote Republicans in Georgia to own ... something”

“...something”

Lin is very clear. This is about PRESSURE.

Why aren’t these two backing the President. These spineless GOPe’s are only protecting themselves and not the people and the country.

ONLY when Loeffler AND Perdue get on board will GA Senate be targeted!

Not Free
Not Fair
NOT over!

The call for Republicans to NOT vote for Loeffer and Perdue and then start violence when they don’t win is insanity and if a hostile state would spread propaganda then they wouldn’t say anything different from these Q people.
