Yes, politics makes a huge difference for social issues. Not just abortion, but gay rights, hate crime legislation, gun control, etc.trees said:

What happened anyway ?droptheleash9 said: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.
I'm impressed that someone was able to distill the issue into something so simple, yet profound.
let’s not exclude who pays more in taxes and who pays less. Or who gets to vote and who doesn’t. Or which votes are counted equally or which are not. Must be nice for those who don’t need to be concerned about issues like that and those raised above
Not sure why dems need to be attacked in Porch, I though this section of the fan forum was reserved for speculation about future shows and available summer dates in the Grand Canyon or Michigan / Ohio stadiums. But those last two likely not cavernous enough.
Anyone who thinks the Dems are just as guilty as the republicans for bringing in an era of violence and hate to our leadership, just because some politicians need to eat and used to be civil about it, please come over and discuss in AMT, but please stay, not like the occasional righty who drops a rhetorical bomb and leaves.0 -
Back to Elon. I think he did it for ego more than anything else. He already has it all when it comes to wealth. Now he gets to control the world's most important social media app for communication.0

Nah. He's a dude who never fit in. He awkward. One day he jokes about buying it. Stumbled into having to buy it after exhausting every way to not have to buy it. And because he's never fit in and is awkward, he's desperately trying to be funny/relevant/troll-y/ "both-sides-y", and he's playing to that group who weirdly like and defend him. Because "LIKES" are the only relevant currency in the attention economy, if you peddle in that.

Twitter is losing about $3mm per day. They have lost 50 of their top 100 advertising clients, accounting for $2 billion in revenue. I certainly hope he has a plan to make it profitable, otherwise it's gone.0

Ah yes, the both sides are the same bs from someone who doesn’t do their research.Foriginal Sin said:

If it wasn’t allowed in twitter, how was I able to read all the stupid shit about Covid on twitter?Ledbetterman10 said:
Umm, ok, Fauci isn’t the only person who’s studied infectious diseases his entire life. And by “opinions,” I mean opinions backed by research. There were many studies done by scientists all over the globe about this virus, but if their conclusions was that the lab leak was most likely, it wasn’t allowed on Twitter. So they need definitive proof that it’s a lab leak, but Fauci can claim it’s likely from the nearby wet market…with no proof.HughFreakingDillon said:
more credentialed than fuaci? um, ok. the guy spent his entire life studying infectious diseases. And plus, credentialed or not, it was still just opinion. who cares how credentialed they are? there was still no proof or anything to back it up.Ledbetterman10 said:HughFreakingDillon said:opinions on the wuhan lab leak is not "news". it was (and still is) conjecture and people were legitimately afraid that it would lead to violence against asians. which it did.

the hunter biden laptop thing is also nothing, and they didn't want it leading to more election-meddling bullshit by the right.
I'm not talking about random users. Links to opinions by credentialed scientists (more credentialed than Fauci) were not allowed.
As for Biden's laptop, if it's true, then an article about it should be able to be posted without being censored or without people sharing it being called Russian agents. "Election-meddling bullshit?" To censor a story like that because you think it could hurt Biden in the election (which it wouldn't have) IS election-meddling bullshit.I don’t want to litigate Fauci or the virus though. My overall point is that that stuff like that led Musk to buy Twitter….as he’s said.0 -

See my earlier post in this thread on how your Congressmen and Senators party together nightly at fancy restaurants all across DC. They’re laughing at us when they dine together, things news cameras won’t show. Whenever Dems have any control why isn’t anything ever done? Good at blaming the other side though, never have the balls to actually make a stand, wonder why? It’s all show, WWE and Porn have better storylinesmrussel1 said:
