No. You actually don't have to start somewhere.

Starting somewhere bad without a plan is actively bad.

Here's the thing, people. FB and Twitter are pretty much garbage. That's fine, and we all mostly agree about that.

Here's the worst part of social media in general: it's uniting the absolute shittiest of the Republicans with the absolute shittiest of the Democrats and encouraging them both to get together and form a government agency that defines "truth" and then forces private entities to enforce that truth.

There is literally nothing Twitter or Facebook or any other social media website could do that would be this actually bad.



It's real hard to find a reason to be upset with a blanket ban on political ads on Twitter. You can still say what you want to say, but Twitter isn't going to accept money to help you promote your message. Good for them.


While I can imagine what you mean by "shittiest Republicans", could you give me examples of the "shittiest Democrats"?


You don't think there are better and worse Democrats?
