    What sane person thinks it is in any way a good idea to have billionaires running the country. The richest men in the world. Controlling our social media, owning the President. The current right are the most anti-American humans in the nations history. They are the opposite of what America is supposed to be and they consider themselves patriots. Fucking jokes. Imagine what WW2 servicemen would think of them. Embarrassment to mankind.

    It was dumb to ever make it a TikTok ban.

    Dems and Biden set themselves up for this by not doing the right thing and setting up actual data and privacy protections for all social media, and maybe even all companies.

    Limiting this ban to TikTok was a blunder of monumental proportions.

    And the Dems just keep on doing this. Trying to conduct "business politics as usual" which the Republicans know they will do, and will gladly use against Democrats. Removing the moral high ground the Democrats have been able to claim in the past.

    Democrats will actually need to start doing the right thing if they want to beat this Republican party.

    It isn't limited to TikTok.

    Or it would be, if it was. But it's not.

    Agreed, since the voters clearly want corruption, greed, and vindictiveness, the Democrats will surely succeed by not banning TikTok and other enemy-controlled apps.

    You're kind of right, it's a ByteDance ban... The point still stands.

    This wouldn't be a problem if we simply had better rights over our data (consumer protections). But Democrats (their lobbiest daddies) want that data as well. So they can't actually support good consumer protections.

    Since they are being greedy and taking advantage of the consumer the Republicans can make Dems look like the corrupt stupid idiots that they are acting like.
