Yup, I would love no inks to Twitter at all obamanut2012 Mar 12 #10

I won't click on any links to X. CaptainTruth Mar 12 #12

I put people who constantly post X content on ignore. demmiblue Mar 12 #15

I don't think that is true anymore, sans the extreme right-wing content. demmiblue Mar 12 #26

That's great there's another source n/t leftstreet Mar 12 #28

Democracy Now attacks Democrats! LeftInTX Mar 12 #67

It's a news show, letting people hear from lesser candidates on the ballot is what the news should do questionseverything Mar 12 #68

They do. And they constantly bash Democrats. LeftInTX Mar 12 #70

Democracy Now is kind of like how the evening news used to be AZProgressive Mar 12 #74

Not during the 2024 election. All they did was bash the Democrats. LeftInTX Mar 12 #76

So asking for specific examples is denying the truth of the poster's niyad Mar 12 #24

No. but it IS often a tactic used to nullify, diminish or dismiss ... stopdiggin Mar 12 #31

I see. So showing where **I** have made such posts would be something niyad Mar 12 #39

So asking for specific examples is denying the truth of the poster's niyad Mar 12 #25
