not surprised by this from you. Your friendship with trumper Sachs fund raisers have always made me distrustful of you.

(10,494 posts)I'd get one or two reads in busy threads.
So what is the point of posting on X if they filter out your posts so no one reads them?
I don't get it.
Khanna is obviously ignorant of what was really going on.
I see no point in being there.
Musk who whined about censorship was far worse.
X decided who was going to get to read what.
If they didn't like what you had to say, they made sure few saw it
That was my experience.
So I left. Can't fight back.

(19,846 posts)Xitter is not the place to do it. First of all Musk is a liar and a charlatan. His shtick of being all about free speech was all a smoke screen to set up a propaganda machine to get Trump elected. Secondly, the people on the other side at this point in time do not respect the rule of law, they do not respect boundaries, they do not respect tradition, they do not respect differing opinions, and they absolutely do not respect any Democrats, Liberals, or Progressives. They believe that they have an ordained mandate and there is no room for or reason to compromise or cooperate. Reasoning with them is an utter exercise in futility. Thats what exists on Xitter Ro. You can have it.

(96,657 posts)His interaction with Mace on Bill Mahr was a joke. When mace was criticizing Biden, Khanna just sat there smiling. When Mahr asked him when he would jump in to rebut the outlandish claims by mace, he said something to the effect how he just wants to be nice, and how great it was to work with Mace.
He is looking forward to working with musk and ramaswamy:

He has been more critical of Democrats than republicans.
No I don't trust him, and glad he isn't my representative in Congress.

(2,475 posts)I see you are critical of some Democrats too
Rep Khanna isnt the problem or the reason Democrats lost BIG this last election.
Maybe we all should figure out why we lost. My answer is that the Democratic Party Leadership failed us and the American people.

(96,657 posts)it in 2016, and they finalized it in 2024. Because of that we have lost the SC for at least a generation.
This country deserves anything bad that happens to it because of trump.
but by all means, continue on musk's social platform, because Ro Khanna says it's a good thing.
Ro Khanna was not happy that Democrats called republicans "weird"

He is so chummy with David Sacks and other tech billionaires.
SnoopDog
(2,475 posts)And, do I understand you correctly that a segment of the Dem Party and progressives is the reason Dems lost and lost the Supreme Court?
I believe Biden is/was the best President since LBJ/FDR because of progressive legislation. It certainly resulted in a phenomenal productive and beneficial term for Mr. Biden.

I have no doubt that you supported Biden and Harris as most here on DU did, but the 2020 election was closer than it should have been.
Regardless, I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving, without politics.
SnoopDog
(2,475 posts)When that question gets answered, Dems will win... And yes, the answer is very clear...
Yes, Happy Thanksgiving to all...!

(5,315 posts)His negative attacks and tactics were ugly and off-putting.
And I find his phony smile to be most insincere.
But he does seem to vote reliably with Democrats, so there's that. I wouldn't vote against him versus a repug, but I would in a primary.

If it was just a site that had more right wingers but there were rules that applied to all it would be one thing.
But this is different.

(33,076 posts)Deactivate, rather than delete, so that nobody can usurp it and post in your name. He also said to stop posting, because that's what puts the money in Eloon's pocket. Just let it sit there dormant.
