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

1. About like saying horribly tortured POWs should eschew escape & stay with their captors for fear of "insulting" them

[Jarqui]

2. They did something to my posts to restrict reading

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.

3. Yes, fighting back is always a good thing, BUT...

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. That’s what exists on Xitter Ro. You can have it.

4. Rep Khanna is a good and reliable progressive Democrat...

Sorry you don't 'trust' him...

[JohnSJ]

9. No I don't. He is an appeaser, and we need a fighter, and he isn't what Democrats need.

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.

[SnoopDog]

10. So, it's a TV appearance that set you off?

I see you are critical of some Democrats too…

Rep Khanna isn’t 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.

[JohnSJ]

12. No they didn't, but a segment of the Democratic party, along with those self-identified progressives sure did. They did

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"

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/sep/08/ro-khanna-harris-campaign

He is so chummy with David Sacks and other tech billionaires.

[SnoopDog]

13. First, I am not on *any* social media platforms.

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.

[JohnSJ]

14. I also am not on any social media platforms, but was generically addressing Ro Khanna advice for Democrats to stay on

twitter.

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]

15. Yes the election was closer than it should hve been...Why?

When that question gets answered, Dems will win... And yes, the answer is very clear...


Yes, Happy Thanksgiving to all...!

[Cha]

16. Yeah, I don't like Khana... & now

he's advising to stay on the Nazi friendly Fascist's POS Vulgar A$$ platform. the TSF A$$istant.

you stay on it, Khana.

[JohnSJ]

18. We are on the same page Cha.

Happy Thanksgiving to you.

[Cha]

19. Yes We Are... Happy Thanks to you, John.. Grateful

for what we have and our Fighting Spirit of Never Giving UP.

20. He lost me with his viscious negative campaign against Mike Honda

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.

5. One of the first signs that therapist recognize when the marriage is irreparably broken

is when one of the spouses shuts down, and refuses to engage in conversation.

I think we're there.

[JI7]

6. The problem is that Musk manipulates things on there

to help certain sides.

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.

7. Malcom Nance says we should stay on Twitter and January 20th cancel our accounts.

But I deleted mine the day before he took over.

[JohnSJ]

8. I think the message will be clear whether leaving after November 5 or January 20.

[GoCubsGo]

17. He said to deactivate one's account, but not delete it.

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.

11. I dont speak Russian so the app has nothing for me
