    Twitter is total shit, but go to AMT and see the amount of people posting links to Twitter. It’s probably 90% of the news shared over there.

     All i can do is myself. And its  all shit. Leave it behind. I dont even click on links to any of it. Do yourself a favour and leave it

    Deleting their Twitter would be silly. It wouldn’t make the statement that many here probably think it would (I’m sorry but the band’s reach isn’t what it once was) and the format of Twitter hasn’t changed at changed all since it was recently purchased. Those leaving the platform in light of recent events are overreacting and I suspect many of them will be back simply because they crave the attention.

    That said, I’m someone who personally thinks most social media is a waste of time so my life wouldn’t change much at all.

    Democrats have hurt feelings, don’t realize “their” party causes just as many problems with this country as anything Trump has done because they don’t research anything.

    Not on Twitter, but do hope the whole platform goes up in flames. Also, the whole Dems cause as much trouble is an epic denial of what the other party has been up to the last 10 years.

    Dems had control 6 of those 10 years. Both sides equally terrible. Not defending the reps, both sides go to dinners together in DC laughing their asses off. Don’t believe me, go into Bourbon Steak on a night after each side has screaming matches for the cameras/news. Same people drinking together. Politics is as staged as the WWE.

    Did u see both parties egging on an insurrection?

    id say this is an over simplification of things 
  • lmckenney24lmckenney24 Posts: 1,989
    No, my experience was years ago. My comment was in reference to the same guys going after each other in the media ect, then having drinks and dinner together the same night. Nothing more, nothing less.

    It really is as simple as that.

    It really is as simple as that. But back to the actual topic. I don't know why they would delete Twitter. I'm sure it's a good source of info for PJ fans who don't have IG or Facebook.

    "Politicians have become divorce lawyers, separating the two parties so they can benefit"

    They all do it - they all have done it. Trump, Biden, Clinton, Barack, Bush... all of them... 

    Deleting a twitter account isn't going to do a thing.

    if you want change - be more granular and take action in your own communities rather than worrying about billion/millionaires
