This is nothing new, Twitter's been censoring anything with phrases related to Trump winning the election, Biden NOT winning the election, or election fraud, etc, for days.
...it's not "censoring" it's "correcting misinformation". There's a difference.

Do I have the right to tweet "I WON THE ELECTION"?

No, so why should he?

But.. Biden does? LOL .no state has said anything yet. Its really cute some are stuck on Donald J Trump. But the huge picture before us .. we can't see? Twitter, Facebook,Youtube. A.. its not just President Trump they censor.

Tulc.. why do you think Congress talks to Facebook,Twitter,Youtube as of late? "censoring" <---. Again .. Biden has been saying more about winning and NO state has said anything yet. So if its TRUTH then we say Trump should not say it.. and Joe Biden should not be saying it. And you can disagree does not make you right :)

This is childish. Well we all know he believes he won. Now flip it.. Joe Biden knows he won. WHICH one does the left run with at fact? Again.. NO state has turned in anything. This is what they call fake news. We don't want Facebook,twitter, Youtube or anyone censoring. If not dealt with...it will not stop with President Trump.

The supposed “liberal” media called the election for Trump in the early-morning hours the day after the election. It is nothing new. I can remember elections being called for Carter, Reagan, HW Bush, Clinton, etc. Television has been doing it since the 40s, radio was doing it before then. Yet Trump supporters are acting as if this hasn’t been done before.

Twitter is not a news source :) Lots of "incorrect information" is all over social media.

Exactly, Archivist. Everything that isn't a cause for concern when things go the way we want them to is suddenly a threat to the integrity of American elections when 'our guy' loses. It's so transparent and phony, it's unbelievable (and very, very sad and concerning) to see so many people here and across the USA falling into line with Trump's telegraphed "they stole the election" nonsense. Does no one here remember that he said the same thing before the 2016 election, when he was convinced Hillary and Co. would 'rig' the election? Gee, sure is funny how he shut up about all this election theft when he came out the winner that time...but now we're all supposed to take him seriously? Rubbish.

I don't remember a single media outlet calling the election for Trump. Granted, "early morning hours" depend on what time zone you're talking about.

As I recall it was around 3:00 am.

Someone should fact check that article. It calls Biden the 'President-Elect'. He isn't. Not yet at least.

Fake news.
He isn't?

I didn't hear any Trump supporters complaining about the media calling him President-Elect after he won the election in 2016 but before the electors voted.

BTW, President-Elect is not in the Constitution, just as Electoral College isn't in the Constitution. They are simply terms that have developed in usage over the years. This unofficial term is defined by Webster's as "a person who has been elected president but who has not officially become president yet." Biden meets that definition, just as Trump met that definition at this point four years ago..

Insistent Trump supporters are clearly engaging in some sort of Concorde fallacy, at this point. They have invested so heavily in their support of Trump that they would rather continue their support than admit defeat. Ironically, their continued support is inversely proportioned to the integrity they hope to project. The best thing they can do is admit Trump failed. That simple admission would raise the viability of their integrity exponentially. It takes much more character to admit defeat than to celebrate victory. Instead, they are willing to go down with the ship. Strange.

...shouldn't you correct President Trump than? He claimed he'd won and you say no one's the winner yet, sounds like President Trump is spreading fake news. :wave:

Electoral College isn't in the Constitution.
If you mean the Winner-Take-All Electoral College is not in the constitution, you're quite right.

The Winner-Take-All Electoral College Isn't In the Constitution - Electoral Vote Map

"Today there are two states that do not use a winner-take-all approach: Nebraska and Maine. . . . That shows that states could, if they wanted, create an electoral system that better reflected the popular vote."

We need to remember that before winning in 2016, Trump repeatedly talked against the Electoral College system.
