But she lost and she is not thee most powerful being on Earth. What purpose does knowing her mindset serve? If she runs again (I hope not) you already knew her mindset before so I doubt you'd ever consider voting for her. So, what does caring about why she thought she lost accomplish?
Because many did vote for her and that is frightening to me. Not as frightening as the party pushing her on the voters but still frightening.
You elected Donald Trump. You have no moral high ground to criticize the Democrats.
I did? Prove it. I live in MA.

“You” meaning Republicans.

I also don’t think being banned by twitter/Facebook/YouTube constitutes a violation of your free speech rights.
I don't see how it could. These are private corporations and as long as their rules aren't targeted at individuals or protected groups, they can make and enforce whatever content restrictions they would prefer. Of course, there is a large group of people in the country who still hold Facebook accountable, at least in part, for what happened in the 2016 presidential election. In many cases those persons would believe that Facebook should be legally required to censor content. I also disagree wholeheartedly with this. As a private corporation they are under no obligation to enforce any content restrictions not required by US or international law and again, can choose their own rules so long as they are fair.
I think it’s reasonable to say that the propaganda spread on Facebook had some impact on 2016.

Whether or not Facebook should be held accountable has more to do with whether or not they broke the law.
That is not the standard to which many people in this country - include some of the people in congress who have had the opportunity to address Mark Zuckerberg during his testimonies there - seem to want to hold this privately-held company. There has been a repeated argument that FB is obligated to vet its user accounts for authenticity. That is an absurd burden for a company with a user base that is basically the world's population along with many of their pets, stuffed animals, organizations, etc

Without going into detail, I think most people would agree that it is not illegal in any jurisdiction for Russian "operative" to own and operate any number of Facebook accounts and publish any opinions and links they wish on those accounts. It may be a violation of Facebook TOS, but not the law.
Yeah I can’t speak for people arguing that’s FB should vet all accounts etc.

I remember hearing something about Facebook knowingly taking money to run sponsored political posts from agents of a foreign government being illegal. That could have been wrong, I’m not going back to look it up or it could just be me remembering something incorrectly.

I was not a Republican at the time but I'll play along. Trump beat what 15 other candidates. Clearly the people wanted him and yes you think all 63 mil that voted for him are idiots but this is who they chose. Clearly the country or a major portion of it wanted to send a message and the people did. They elected a celebrity who spoke to them and was not a career politician. The economy to date has been great under his watch and he is dealing with much more expensive money than his predecessor. I agree with his stance on border security and international relations for the most part. I think he made a mistake with NK. I like what he did with Israel and the Paris Accords. I question why he doesn't address entitlements.

I am not a NEVER Trumper. I am not a sycophant. I am a sometimes Trumper. My ideal candidate is Dan Crenshaw but I was not given that choice so I voted for Tom Brady since my vote would not have counted anyway. I deal with many business leaders in my job, all over the country and 90% of them like what Trump is doing for the economy. Take it for what its worth.

being for medicare for all and tuition leg does not put you on far left.
being for strict but appropriate gun control does not put you in far left.
thats a fact mack.
#1) Look at my thread. It doesn't work. So you pining for it is illogical.
#2) We have strict gun control laws


You are the FAR LEFT. You redline those who disagree with you. You label those who disagree with you as racist. You want to take money from the "rich" and give it to the "poor". 70% tax rate means that those who earn certain monies work for 8.5 months for free. You want open borders.

It is illogical.
im none of the things you said.
as for redlining i redlined 2 things...those who said things about Israel i thought were antisemitic..you gonna sue me ?
i redlined some posts that i thought were posted in a venemous way...i would probably do that again and get in trouble....so i dont do threads on politics anymore and now i said if you cant change them then join them.
you sound like a moron harping forever on my redlining...right or wrong i had a reason.
btw...we already have a progressive tax system dope.
the type of tax plan you talk about is for money over a very high amount and there are already giant deductions.
40% is fine. 70% is outrageous. So you are saying you don't want open borders and our border patrol agents want the WALL. So you support the WALL. Thanks.

That’s a lot and I sorta skimmed it. I doubt any of it changes the fact that the party who elects Trump forfeits the ability to criticize the minor character flaws that some Democrat members of congress posses.

What you consider minor (Denying the Holocaust) I consider MAJOR. But you're a Leftist so you and I will NEVER agree. I also think your baseball knowledge is crap. Nothing to do with politics but you don't believe Don Sutton belongs in the HoF so forgive me for not taking you seriously on any topic.

As far as I know, the prominent Holocaust deniers all reside on the right side of the political spectrum. And zero members of congress deny the Holocaust.

Except she does. But that is OK for you not to believe that.
