  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Is X Throttling Kamala Harris' Account? Key Democrat Claims 'Time-Sensitive Censorship Issue'

Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., called on the House Judiciary Committee to investigate Elon Musk’s X on Tuesday, one day after users on the platform said they were unable to follow Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign account, which Nadler called a “serious and time-sensitive censorship issue” as Harris is at the start of her presidential campaign after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race Sunday.

Multiple X users on Monday posted that they were stopped from following Harris’ campaign page and received a message saying they could not do so because a follow limit was reached, with some users claiming they had not actually reached the limit and were able to follow other accounts.

The claims sorta sound like what Twitter did to conservatives during the 2020 presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump where he was eventually banned

After all X is a private platform, perhaps Kamala needs to run her campaign from another platform like "Truth Social"?

Big Smiles!

I thought Elon Musk was a "hero for free speech"? Can't really call him that if he's engaging in the same censorship tactics that you think were employed against Trump now, can you?

Is the "soros-backed" thing supposed to swaying people one way or the other?

If we're looking for a politician that's not getting funding from a deep pocket ally, we'll be very limited in our options...it's unfortunate, but that's the reality.

Of course, if you don't want soros backing people, there's a simple way to fix that... campaign finance reform, but that'll likely mean the GOP will have to tighten their belts as well in the funding department

Nobody has proved Elon Musk is throttling his privately owned business against Kamala Harris supporters, it's pure speculation and allegations

If she doesn't approve of the X platform she is free to leave, perhaps Truth Social would be a good start

Trump wasn't banned until after the election (and right after Jan 6th). Certain of his earlier posts were removed for misinformation about COVID and other things, but not for political content.

Free speech never means free speech for these people. It means platforming the things I want, and de-platforming the things I don't want. It's the same thing when they complain about "cancel culture", it's completely okay to "cancel" the things and people they don't like, it's when the people and things they like get pushback that they throw a toddler tantrum.

And for the sake of due diligence. The OP is on record for openly promoting sexual assault against women. I might get in trouble for bringing that up here, but I don't want to let them get away with it.

Soros is one of the most diabolic humans on earth .... this should be very concerning to voters.

The nominee is supposed to be determined by the voters ... not a handful of elites ... doing that is not a "democratic" process. Voters should not allow this to happen without their votes.

I’ve never understood the vitriolic animosity towards George Soros.
The guy is rich but spends his money “wrong”, seems to be the chief complaint.

A lot of the "groups" that are destructive and commit violence are funded by Soros organizations ... he has been banned by a few countries.

Which groups?
How is a person “banned”? From which freedom-loving nation has these bans come?

Freedom-loving nations like Russia and Hungary.

The point is .... Soros is involved in many things within various countries/societies ... is it producing good things or not so good things?

Mass migration .... is that producing good things? If so .... where?

"to help migrants and refugees apply for asylum"

Giving asylum to people who qualify for asylum is a good thing.
