because one side is prioritizing democratic principles and the other is making an argument that could be related to the first amendment. Twitter absolutely isn’t doing this for any good reason, but the argument could be used for one.
If you have to tell deliberate lies to influence people then that isn’t democracy. That’s fascism or at least a kakistocracy - the worst and stupidest rule because they can’t get elected otherwise. Fuck twisting the First Amendment into a tool of lies and corruption.

I propose for every lie someone tells, we (we’ll vote on who) gets to punch them in the face.
There are so many flags right now it’s just a sea of red undulations. Done by design, so that we don’t notice the death of democracy.
