Trump along with may others are on parler.

Trump is NOT on Parler. Not yet. But he will be soon enough; at the rate that Twitter is getting deranged. You can count on it.

Bad thing about it is, it’s like Freerepublic.

Not even close. Its not like Freerepublic at all.

Good platform to hang out in, but singing to the choir does not increase his voting block.

Again its not the platform that counts. Its Trump himself. He attracts ratings no matter what platform he is on. If he goes to Parler today, any post he makes on Parler will attract that same media attention as his posts on Twitter. He is President Trump.

They are already voting for him. I STRONGLY disagree with that tactic.

We its a good thing you are not Trump then isn't it? Let's just say Trump is quite a bit more media savvy than you or almost everyone else.

Of course he is. That’s why he is on Twitter and Facebook. Certainly you would agree that it’s unfair for Twitter and Facebook to be Fact Checking, censuring a campaign and allowing the other side to go uncheck “120 million Americans dead from COVID” . This cannot be allowed. Twitter and Facebook have special protections from the US government that protect them from what account holders say.

If they decide to edit those posts, they are no longer platforms, they are publishers and should not have those protections. They are tampering with the election. 2020’s insurance policy? Surely, you don’t think that should be happening.

I stand corrected. I just checked and it’s true that Donald Trump is not yet on Parler. (Just a lot of fans or imitators).

It would be nice if Trump was on Parler. But again, Parler is still new, still growing (I have an account on Parler), it’s a great place (Like FreeRepublic) to discuss politics, share ideas and find articles to post on the social media accounts.

Remember, most Americans are not like us. They do not live and breath politics. They only know what they see on the news (and their news is what comes on at 6:30pm right before Wheel of Fortune). The only other places they visit is facebook and Twitter. That’s where the votes to be gained are.

I don’t think there are any Biden votes on Freerepublic or Parler to be converted into Trump votes. So yes, in that sense Parler and Freerepublic are similar. I suspect on Facebook and Twitter there are millions of Biden votes we have a chance to convert into Trump voters.

Trump has the republicans (except the Never Trumpers) and it appears - there are some signs he may be starting to collapse their base. We need to help make that happen.
