It is not the government's job to 'stop right wing populism'. This is a criminal conspiracy and DHS should be severely punished.

It's not the government's job to monitor speech at all!

    BBC says Republican ads are almost entirely about guns and how they could be taken away from you if you vote Democrat (absolute bullshit).

    The ads I am seeing are all about inflation, crime and protecting children from trans, guns aren't really being talked about

    And Democrats are focusing almost entirely on a woman's right to choose an early abortion

    They are mainly focusing on Jan 6, magaism, and election denial, but some on abortion too

      Its interesting that it was about guns and abortion. I have noticed Daily Mail is pretty conservative, but they are definitely pro-choice and anti-gun, which as an American is strange, but it seems like you guys must all agree on this.

      Honestly its a pretty sad bunch of campaigns with no policies, just calling the other guy evil without suggesting much

        I think the reality of how this is going to play out is quite different. Running on how bad the other side is only works when your party isn't the one in control, especially when there are economic problems. I don't think this a winning strategy. It worked in 2020 when it was a referendum on Trump, this is a referendum on the Dems controlling the house, senate and presidency, they need to run on more than 'those other guys are worse than us'

          The BBC is right about the fact that US voters are voting with their emotions rather than their brains

          Yep, the BBC is right about this

          inflation is a non issue because it's a global issue and the US isn't doing that bad? what the fuck are you smoking? food prices are up like 1/3 in a year.

            the US doen't have as much of a problem with this as other countries

            Bro, half of us can't name other countries on a world map. It is a real tangible issue, and will probably fuck the Demonrats if it's not fixed by then.

            Even if what you say is completely true, it is still a terrible idea to give the government enough power to act on it. The tides will turn, and you will someday have a fascist/authoritarian conservative regime.

            Equal speech, equal gun rights, and equal protection under the constitution is what makes the US better than most. Thank God our ancestors were so much smarter than you.

              With the removal of that FCC law, we're now seeing the SAME lies and fascism 100 years later.

              Okay, so let's re-establish the fairness doctrine. The dems really need a platform, so this could work. But I thought we were talking about DHS and Kate Starbird censoring conservative populism by non-broadcasters on Twitter and social media?

              That's EXACTLY what NOT SPREADING LIES would protect.

              No one can determine what is a lie and what isn't. Especially in this post-modern clown world. It is not sustainable or practical. YOU ARE LITERALLY ASKING TO LIVE IN 1984 the book.

              The Supreme Court recently made is MUCH easier for people to carry lots of gun and ammo around.

              I must have missed that story. Sweet.

              Again - the lies are developing public opinion in dangerous ways.

              Howso? Arguing that populism is an inherently bad thing is fundamentally insane and shows that you have a lack of empathy.

              Extreme income inequality since the time of Reagan will continue to turn the US into a fascist banana republic if the lies continue.

              Both parties have been doing this for decades. You have false hope.

                It's not unrelated to 1984, you are a fan of the government reading everything and discarding some things down to the memory hole/incinerator. Do you think that the government should be censoring posts on this site? Do you feel that the sort weights here are accurate? Are your posts being drowned out by misinfo?

                Alas, the feds and leftist social media companies have already shown that this goes far beyond censoring objectively inaccurate statements. Or ad campaigns from 'Russians'. Did you miss that whole covid pandemic where literal doctors were being censored for speaking against the government's covid narrative? Did you miss how every YouTube video on a controversial topic has a warning and a link to shittypedia?

                You're a goddamn coddler and you have no faith in mankind.

                    What part of the SPREADING OF LIES did you not understand?

                    What part of free speech are you confused about?
