Bernie Sanders Not ‘Comfortable’ With Trump Twitter Ban
New York Post ^ | March 23, 2021 | Jesse O’Neill

Senator Bernie Sanders said recently that he’s not “comfortable” with former President Trump’s Twitter ban, arguing it could lead suppression of users across the political spectrum.

The Vermont Independent found common ground with many Republicans who accused the social media network of left-leaning bias and political censorship after they banned Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack US Capitol riot.

Sanders made the comments to New York Times columnist Ezra Klein Tuesday, after Trump aides announced the former president would soon return to social media with his own platform.

Too little too late doesn’t matter now. Jack Dorky can kiss Trump’s butt and lose users to a new platform. Adios bearded hag.

Trump’s will cross over because they can’t help their crazy selves and they’ll follow him just to argue. Big tech doesn’t let Trump supporters influence others anyway. We are throttled, censored, banned, shadowbanned, etc.
FB, Twitter, YouTube, etc is where they control Trump and us. That is their ghetto and they want Trump back in it.

He needs to go off the reservation. The world will follow.

A twitter ban in way too kind in Bernie world. We shod be in gulags or graves for opposing the glorious communist revolution Bernie wants.

You can count the true intellectuals on the left with both hands and have fingers left over.

Bernie’s one of the few... too bad he’s so far left.

No leftists ever believed in free speech.
In our state, naturally there is and can be no place for freedom of speech, press, and so on for the foes of socialism. Every sort of attempt on their part to utilize to the detriment of the state, that is to say, to the detriment of all the toilers — these freedoms granted to the toilers, must be classified as a counterrevolutionary crime.

— Andrey Vyshinsky, first prosecutor general of the USSR

We have no freedom of the press for the bourgeoisie. We have no freedom of the press for the Mensheviks and Socialist-Revolutionaries, who represent the interests of the beaten and overthrown bourgeoisie. But what is there surprising in that? We have never pledged ourselves to grant freedom of the press to all classes, and to make all classes happy.

— Lenin
Remember, this is the same evil empire that Sanders brought his wife to on their honeymoon.

True intellectual?

If he were, he would not reject the Founding Fathers so soundly and be so attached to socialism. To do so is anti-intellectual.
