Shillary

2018-09-07 00:54:28 UTC  

Nah I don’t think it’s a proper position for her

2018-09-07 00:54:50 UTC  

She’s like the corrupt cop that they vouch for, but she never acknowledges them as being a problem

2018-09-07 00:55:44 UTC  

That's what they want

2018-09-07 00:57:00 UTC  

Someone who will look the other way when the purges start

2018-09-07 00:58:07 UTC  

Like fucking Cuomo the other week and "violence is wrong but not as wrong as ideas I don't like"

2018-09-07 01:00:01 UTC  

Cuomo seems arrogant and thinks he is king, now he wants to be president!

2018-09-07 01:03:07 UTC  

apparently Alex Jones incites violence

2018-09-07 01:03:41 UTC  

Those metaphorical weapons

2018-09-07 01:03:48 UTC  

And self defense

2018-09-07 01:07:19 UTC  

It's time. The social media companies aren't responsible anymore and seek to obtain control by any means they find suitable. It's time to hit them as a public square.

2018-09-07 01:07:29 UTC  

ui, Styx is really raging oO :O
NEVER EVER have I seen him THAT angry....

2018-09-07 01:07:38 UTC  

They pushed Net Neutrality warning this would happen. Little did we know that they were releasing their own plans.

2018-09-07 01:08:26 UTC  

But what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Net Neutrality for Twitter now.
Net Neutrality for YouTube now.
Net Neutrality for Reddit now.
Net Neutrality for Facebook now.

2018-09-07 01:11:20 UTC  

Unfortunately from what I saw at the recent Twitter & Facebook hearing, censorship is barely on the Republican's radar.

2018-09-07 01:12:24 UTC  

There's ~60 days left until the midterms. After which none of this may matter.

2018-09-07 01:12:32 UTC  

That's my fear too.

2018-09-07 01:12:51 UTC  

Actually, post-midterms I expect it to all get 100x worse.

2018-09-07 01:13:09 UTC  

The Dems are pushing censorship.

2018-09-07 01:13:21 UTC  

And solidly leading in the midterms

2018-09-07 01:13:26 UTC  

Win or lose they'll double down. Anything to prevent introspection.

2018-09-07 01:14:12 UTC  

I don't know about 'solidly leading'. Trusting polls at this point is risky at best.

2018-09-07 01:15:34 UTC  

^^^^^

2018-09-07 01:15:50 UTC  

I think you guys are making excuses and living in a bubble.

2018-09-07 01:16:02 UTC  

But it doesn't really matter for the conversation.

2018-09-07 01:16:48 UTC  

>polls were wrong for Hillary
>but we need to trust the polls

2018-09-07 01:17:36 UTC  

I think the "blue wave" is going to be underwhelming at best

2018-09-07 01:17:51 UTC  

And if they do manage to gain ground they'll just be giving the Trump admin excuses

2018-09-07 01:18:20 UTC  

I'm definitely in a bubble. I just got burned really badly in 2016 by believing the polls and convincing myself that we were facing eminent civil war.

2018-09-07 01:18:42 UTC  

So I'm not going to ruin my state of mind this time.

2018-09-07 01:19:27 UTC  

I don't feel like fighting this again. You two can keep your heads in the mud for all I care.

2018-09-07 01:19:47 UTC  

But it's likely that this recent ban might actually be because Twitter expected worse than they got.

2018-09-07 01:20:01 UTC  

And the Dems clearly are providing cover.

2018-09-07 01:20:02 UTC  

That seems reasonable.

2018-09-07 01:20:05 UTC  

I'm not seeing enough of a change in contributing factors so far, but I'm not opposed to being wrong

2018-09-07 01:20:24 UTC  

>if you don't agree with me you're blind
👌

2018-09-07 01:20:32 UTC  

I think the Repubs in the hearing were scared of social media giant's influence.

2018-09-07 01:20:35 UTC  

I'm just looking at the actual numbers.

2018-09-07 01:20:43 UTC  

So they softballed them. Or maybe they're just out-of-touch.

2018-09-07 01:20:49 UTC  

That's highly plausible. I think it's both.

2018-09-07 01:21:08 UTC  

I think you're looking at the same narrow polling as last time
