2024 ELECTION THREAD

Drum roll. The kid has the lols.

The problem isn't that he cant win, it is that he doesn't have the mental faculties and energy to properly campaign and give himself a chance to win. The logic is the campaign is very winnable with a candidate who can campaign properly. Biden cant go on the trail, and promote himself, and properly criticize Trump.

On top of this he has gotten to the point he doesn't know where he is half the time or who he is talking to, and his wife has to lead him around everywhere. And it is just getting worse and worse and worse.

Trump has his own age related decline, but I guesstimate he is 6 years behind Biden in this department. I know he is chronologically aged closer than this, but mental decline hits everyone different. Bernie Sanders is older than both of them and seems fine.

Does anyone know what’s Elon’s deal? He bought Twitter 2 years ago and has been shoving his political view (maga republican)down millions of peoples throats with 10-15 tweets daily.

What he is doing is different than free speech .

You answered your own question.

it's all so shocking...

Is the allegation that Twitter doesn't allow free speech or that Elon bought it for reasons beyond just allowing free speech?

do you know what free speech is?

let's start on level ground. how about you define it for me

Hmmm I'm not aware of that. Would be interesting to see some verification of this.

he's a surprisingly good poster despite being euro twice over

Edited to add I have no first hand knowledge of this, just heard someone mention it on one of the youtube channels I subscribe to I think. Not a hill I'm going to die on.

while housenuts is trying to craft a definition of free speech that fits his narrative, I'll ask a question.

Do the content moderators at twitter, if they still exist, work for the government?

It's speech that you don't have to pay to listen to, aka free. This is contrary to costly, or expensive speech, which either costs money to curate or listen to. For example, for her speeches Hillary Clinton charges hundreds of thousands of dollars. Those are not free speeches.

that's what i thought....

"huh, a question...naw...i gots jokes tho!!!!1"

go away

It's my perseverance.

You sound jelly that nobody wants to pay to hear you speak. I'm sure if they did, you wouldn't be turning down the money. Unless it's that worthless fiat, I suppose.

I'm not trying to craft any narrative. You're so obtuse man.

I asked a simple question. I'm not aware that Twitter doesn't allow free speech, unless your definition includes hate speech and other criminal activity.

If your allegation is moderators limit the type of speech to only stuff they agree with, I'd be interested to hear more about this. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, just that I'm not aware of it.

lol, you have no idea what free speech even is. so uneducated.

let's ask another question. do content moderators here have the right to delete posts, or is that a violation of "free speech"?

i feel bad for anyone caring about twitter

yes

he bans accounts that criticize him

elon banned an account that was tracking his planes flights and then showing how ****ed it was for the environment

so yeah, he practices censorship of things he doesnt like.

This:

Which leads to the bigger issue. If he refuses to go, now you've handed more ammunition to the Republicans. They can't be publicly hammering too hard with health or performance concerns, and they have to be careful doing so privately as well, that it stays private. Publicly, it needs to be mainly about the polls.

I mean, we can all see the problems, so it's not like they have to pretend the debate or the gaffes at the NATO summit (among others) didn't happen, but they have to walk a careful line there if they don't intend to attempt to force him out against his will, which seems unlikely at this point.

LFG LFG

Dank Memez Business Genius is the most thin skinned charlatan who ever lived

Interesting, thanks. Is it only stuff against him personally that he censors?
