Your equivocation makes a great deal of sense. ---

I’m already pledged to, and working hard on the campaign for, **None Of The Above**. The blank lawn signs were pretty cheap! ---

> [@Morgyn](#): > > This shit is also a politician and a former elected official who is running for a national office, which is what Twitter is basing its “in the public interest” claim. They said the same thing about TFG. It took a full scale attempt to overthrow the federal government before Twitter was even willing to _suspend_ him for a while, and several more weeks before they made it a ban. This despite him tweeting damned near hourly for his followers to go and do something violent to help him overturn the election or to harm or hurt liberals. ⁢ I’m fully aware of the argument, but it doesn’t make a lot of sense. You can still punish the guy for posting while leaving up the video, or even linking articles about the video, rather than letting the video stay up. As for my other comment about the only other guy running: My understanding was that this was the only other candidate with a good choice of winning, based on what some people I know from Missouri told me. If they are mistaken, that is great. Maybe Democrats can register and pick one of them to win the primary, rather than having to hope they can use the outrage against the candidate to eke out a Democratic win. ---

> [@BigT](#): > > I’m fully aware of the argument, but it doesn’t make a lot of sense. You can still punish the guy for posting while leaving up the video, or even linking articles about the video, rather than letting the video stay up. I didn’t say it made sense. I thought TFG should have been booted a year or more before Twitter finally decided they’d had enough. My comment was to the point that if it took a freaking armed insurrection before they’d do anything to TFG, it’ll take a lot more than this stupid commercial for them to do anything to this shit. ---

I thought you were telling me why I shouldn’t be upset at Twitter. I had been optimistic, however, that they’d stopped this nonsense. It sure seemed so after 1/6, or with famous people getting blocks for spreading COVID-19 misinformation. I still think they started reverting to old behaviors due to fears involving Musk. They’ve seemed to have a much lighter touch since he announced his attempt to buy the company. And I think that is stupid. ---

> [@TroutMan](#): > > Greitens led by a little, with MO Attny General Eric Schmitt in second and two other candidates in 3rd and 4th before McCloskey (gun-pointing guy) in 5th. Right. And Schmitt is the guy that sued multiple public school districts (including the one my kids go to) for requiring masks in school. McCloskey, btw, is literally using the image of him and his wife pointing guns at protesters in his ads and on his signs with the slogan “Never Back Down”. It is not exactly subtle here in MO… It’s quite the array of “talent”. ---
