    Leave political ads on TV and robocalls where they belong lol.
    It won’t be long now. It seems like we get a break for about a year until we’re swarmed again.

    This will only impact the users they will retract or delete any statement made by a normal user in support of someone like Bernie Sanders who stands behind the fucking proletarian and will push someone like Pete Buttigieg

    A good start. Maybe the major networks will do the same. One can only hope.

      We don’t need ads… We go to war with memes. How do you ban memes?? You are going to have to get creative to stomp out free speech in this country. Every attempt will render your party weaker and weaker… Don’t let our message discourage you though. Give it your best shot. You will lose the HOUSE in 2020 and this will seal your fate for the next 8 years as Americans restore their country over the next 30 years.

      It still very much is, there’s people still voting/supporting Trump.

      @Chris Sullivan It wasn’t conventional advertising outreach that got Trump elected. If it had been such that worked best in 2016 we’d be talking about President Hilary Clinton.

    The divided states of America should ban premature cord cutting. This place is a total disgrace. The placenta is for the baby not your hair conditioner.

    …What happens when LEFTISTS realize they are not wanted in this country anymore. Ban the abililty of free speech any which way…

    • Chip Diamond

      November 2, 2019 at 3:38 am

      @Sk y Yeah it’s like “We’re Democrats, we should ban free speech for ourselves also because our message sucks, our principles are wack, our counter culture is BS, our PC culture is disgusting, all of our hollywood movies suck, people don’t like us anymore, we are more anti-American than even our most hated foreign enemies abroad… we doubled the national debt to $22 trillion, we made Americans pay for healthcare like the communists we are, we gave Iran $150 billion, we funded ISIS with billions to overthrow Assad, we are trying desperately through the CIA to control hearts and minds because we are losing power.”

      We should ban all ads everywhere because we can’t compete in the marketplace of ideas. We are a washed up idiotic group of angry, hate filled morons who can’t even fight in the streets, own no guns, believe in communism even though it’s worked nowhere ever.

      NO WONDER YOU ARE NO LONGER IN CONTROL OF ANYTHING.

      Here lie the Democrats. 1828 – 2019

      RIP

      @kellie pastellie Actually I own two companies and live in a high rise. I don’t believe in the church so you got that wrong also. Not interested in the confederate flag, but definitely see it as a part of our culture so I’m not triggered by it. Actually I’m a prodigy son of a full-scholar to MIT. My IQ is 138 and I would absolutely smash through you in a chess match.

      What do you think about that leftist idiot? Wanna try a game of logic and see who prevails? How about a game of capitalism vs communism from a historical perspective? How about taking score of who is in control of the SENATE, SUPREME COURT, PRESIDENCY? How about the 1,000 legislative seats lost to Republicans over the past 8 years? What do you think about the record number of federal judges Trump has appointed?
      What do you think about RBG falling from the SUPREME COURT during Trump’s second term in office?

      LOL,
      The Americans

      @Sk y Are you afraid your dumb sheep might see an ad? Are you afraid your dumb sheep can’t think for themselves? Are you afraid of our wolves? You should be. Free thinkers light up the Republican side. Most of us don’t agree on most of the issues… we do however agree in the fundamental values of this Republic which you clearly do not. GTFO of our country if you don’t like it. One way baby… BEAT IT PHUCKO. You aren’t welcome here. This is OUR country. You just happen to live here.

    • Dale Gribble

      November 2, 2019 at 5:09 pm

      @Chip Diamond To be fair, free thinkers only light up the republican side because those crazy leftists drove us away. I just wanted to play video games and read comics. They drove us into a war and now I have a higher suicide count then Hillary Clinton. I honestly only have few things in common with repubs, basically a libertarian who doesn’t think taxation is theft. That’s basically the make up of most of us fighting the left.

    • Chip Diamond

      November 2, 2019 at 5:43 pm

      @Dale Gribble Wow you really limited your scope there. We are fighting for so many reasons.. Let me put it another way since your brain is off.

      They want open borders so illegals can come take the jobs away from our already poor Americans.
      Obama funded ISIS with billions.
      Then he gave Iran $150 billion.
      Then they want to take our guns away even though we used them against our own government (British) to win our independence.
      Obama makes middle class Americans pay for health care and then gives it to his illegals for free
      Democrats are for the censorship of Americans because they don’t like how half the country speaks..

      Fake Indians: Elizabeth Warren
      Fake elections: Bernie actually cheated by his own party / Hillary Clinton
      Fake hate crimes: Jussie Smollet
      Fake rape accusations: Blasey-Ford
      Fake Debates: Democrats caught giving Hillary Clinton the debate questions ahead of time

      We are fighting to restore the Republic. This is a capitalist country and will remain so. Communism is not welcome here.

    But can the politicians pay the media to discuss about them in favor? Should ban political news as well.

    We don’t need ads. We hunt leftists with memes. May the 2nd world meme war commence. Meme Lords rank and file! We are moving on the objective.

      @Sk y That was a joke you leftist nut… LOL Let the triggering begin!! We are going to trigger you into a state of polictical paralysis. You will no longer know how to behave, act, function within our society. By the time we are finished, you will even question the moves you make, how you speak… We see your rules based ideology behind fear. Nothing but fear. So pathetic! Meme bombs away!!

    Not a good Idea when you have this many users. Hmmm. As a Former business owner stay out of what they’re saying in their Political Statements. First amendment rights.
    Stand up with a backbone. All you’re supplying is the platform.

    Political ads should be treated like cigarette commercials in 1964. Pulled because it’s a health issue. Other common sense countries limit political ads to just 30-60 days before major elections. Not anytime. Trump has ads complaining about Impeachment running national now. Oh please !

    “Jack, it looks like the Warren and Biden tweet ads have 70% negative responses in the thread, showing liberals what the average voter thinks outside of safespace bubbles.”
