Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it

If I was Biden and I wanted to make sure absolutely everybody under 35 didn’t vote for me, first thing I’d do is genocide.
If that didn’t work, then I’d restart student loans.
If that didn’t work, I’d ban Tiktok.

Pressure Biden to do the things he needs to do to get elected. Voters are gonna do what they’re gonna do. You cannot shame millions of voters into taking an unpaid day off to vote for someone who has told them they do not represent them.
Trying to silence them just helps the DNC maintain the delusion that they can win while standing up to the very voters they need instead of doing what they are telling you to do.

Nobody is saying the captain needs to be replaced, we’re saying stop sailing directly towards those fucking rocks. No matter how hard we paddle, Biden cannot win the muslim votes he needs if he is facilitating genocide of muslims. He will not get the young votes he needs if he bans tiktok and restarts student loans.
Nothing we can do can change this. Only Biden can.

Were socialists a persecuted ethnic minority?
Already they are planning to hinder open hardware (RISK-V) as it could help China and will certainly attack foss software as well.

I’m sure you understood my point.

It’s not even a ban, though. TikTok will just be owned by a US company instead of a Singaporean owned company. Literally nothing else will change, I hate to break it to you - cringe app will still be used by millions.

ByteDance has said they won’t sell, and the US audience is <15% of their monthly userbase.

We’ll see, I suppose. I’m highly doubtful at the moment.

Do you think banning tiktok increases or decreases Biden’s popularity?

They are the second bit. They’ve been going hard on saying anyone who won’t vote for Biden is actually a bigot who loves Trump and wants a domestic genocide.

Definitely not voting for biden or anyone else continuing the clinton lineage.

See, that’s the kind of thing where you gotta probe; do you hate the butchers of Libya and Yugoslavia for 100:1 laws, slavery, and sex crimes, or due to sexism, emails, and whatever else?

Right wingers hate the Clintons, but for the wrong reasons.
