25. I wish the Democratic Party would make a stand against Xitter

If the party as a whole said that they found the lack of moderation, the promotion of hate, and the clear bias of the owner (Musk) was no longer acceptable and urge all of their members to STOP POSTING on Twitter and only give interviews if the reporters agree to post to all the other platforms other than Xitter first…

We could actually put a dent in the Twitter monopoly.

And if they were to pick another platform to make the official democratic platform we could steer many reporters and news media away from there as well.

A lot of people use threads but doing that just trades one biased billionaire asshole for another billionaire who might or might not be another hostile asshole.

I think we should focus on Bluesky instead!

It is not only more streamlined and user friendly than Mastodon (and run my US citizens), but isn’t run by Musk or Zuckerberg. We would be promoting more competition so that people could have more choices.
