Have you thought maybe the democrats themselves own some responsibility for the jeopardy the election is in? Maybe banning one of the most popular social media sites right before an election was a bad move?

Pretty sure that funding, aiding and abetting a genocide while denying there's money for anything that benefits their own citizens is what's losing the democrats support.

It had votes/support from both sides. And giving away democracy because you're upset about a social media site seems like a bad take. Imagine telling future generations you traded the country's democracy because you were mad at them because they took away your short video sites.

Can you not comprehend what i said? Tiktok is more popular with younger people, and younger people have historically voted more for democrats. Of course republicans would help democrats shoot themselves in the foot here. How can you see this and not give any responsibility to the democrats?
