      Except I don’t consider this to be “good.” There’s already rumors about people in the US buying Tik Tok to get around this ban. They’ll be doing the same bullshit but because it’s American bullshit it’s suddenly okay.

      I don’t want Steve Mnuchin to have my data just like I don’t want the CCP to have it.

        I don’t want Steve Mnuchin to have my data just like I don’t want the CCP to have it.

        That’s not hard to get around though. It just costs money because most of everything you consume on the internet is free because sites make money through ads.

        Use a VPN, Firefox, disposable emails and usernames, and you’re already 95% of the way there. None of it is magic, propaganda is generally pretty damn obvious, look at what you’re viewing through the lens of reality and not the bias of wherever you’re seeing it.

          Okay, how about this: I don’t want Steve Mnuchin to be able to influence elections just like I don’t want the CCP to be able to do it.

            Vote Democrat and push to get Citizens United repealed. Until then he’s going to have more power that way anyway.

            Even after that repeal, billionaires will have that influence regardless. Public opinion means squat when there’s a select minority voting against their constituents wishes anyway.

              push

              People say that like anyone knows where to push. Should I be looking for a lever or a button? Is it labeled?

              billionaires will have that influence regardless

              Which is exactly my problem with this: Yes, letting the CCP influence are elections is bad. But so is letting billionaires, but nobody in the government seems to give a damn.

                    Your hand to vote. That’s it. There’s not much else to do mate.

                    Help your friends who would also vote democrat or people on the fence. Otherwise there’s not much to do lol. Regardless, demeanor matters, and the internet is a real place. Apathy kills.
