I think the laws we had in place before would solve alot of this shit. Of course the Republicans got rid of them so they can run bullshit and smear campaigns. Without hard laws or even DOJ policies and enforcement the bullshit will continue to run rampant. Of course we always have to allow outlets for free speech but we don't need to not hold these people accountable.

I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Are they? I don't know any Biden supporters, so you'd have to ask someone with more information.

Well, it's free enterprise manipulating the market place with the use of the government to limit anymore free enterprise in their industry. It's almost like free enterprise embrace monopolies and crony capitalism to maximize profitability.

Ya, anyone can just start another company that has the kind of reach of Facebook and Twitter.

Doubtful. One of the reasons that Facebook and Twitter are popular is because of their content controls. Just because they become successful isn't a good reason for them to lose rights. Why are Trump supporters always so eager to regulate businesses?
Well, it's actually very ironic that the pro-business Republicans that love the price gains from Big Tech from the lack of regulation are now bitching about the lack of regulation when it affects their well-being. It's too late to bitch about it, we told them decades ago about the ramifications from the lack of regulation and they didn't want to hear it. Now it's time to deal with the consequences.

That is exactly correct. So, for all the butthurt republicans that facilitated this process, I've got the world's smallest violin right here.

It's funny how much effort OP put into the original post. Pretty crazy. And underlining things makes thing real and true. That's a fact of the internet. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to poop.
The election is not rigged, Russia and others have tried to interfere and everyone without their head in the sand knows it, there is no widespread election fraud, Trump's social media accounts are all still online and have millions of followers, and OP's post is just whiny butthurt bullshit propaganda, and all of this is OBJECTIVELY true.

Well, OP is sort of correct. Election fraud is OBJECTIVELY TRUE.
Let's see here.
Kemp, R - Ran his own election to a narrow win, and when abnormalities in voting were found, the servers with all of the data were mysteriously wiped. Currently governor of Georgia.
Harris, R - Hired a known local "fixer" and pulled off a spectacularly tight margin win with the help of hundreds of mailed ballots that all conveniently were witnessed by Leslie McRae Dowless, the "fixer", and all lived in the same one bedroom apartment. Dowless got charged by the local prosecutor, his own son, and Harris retired from politics for the time being due to "health reasons".
