This is so lazy. The burden of proof is upon the claimant. Feel free to toss out wild claims without providing anything to support what you are saying, but then don't be surprised when no one believes you.

Hillary Clinton was widely respected every year
(source needed)
Here's a list of objectionable stuff Hillary was involved with prior to running for president:
- Hillary Clinton's hawkish stance on war, being more hawkish than Barack Obama and Joe Biden. She is specifically noted for advocating an escalation in Afghanistan.
- Clinton's involvement in the 2009 military coup in Honduras. Rather than condemning the coup, Clinton pressured other countries to recognize the new right-wing government, leading to increased violence and instability in the country.
- The firing of seven employees from the travel office during the Clinton administration in 1993, an act that some critics attribute to Hillary Clinton's influence. The fired employees were later reinstated due to public pressure.
- Controversies surrounding her commodity trades from 1978 and 1979, in which she turned an initial investment of $1,000 into nearly $100,000. No official investigations were carried out, but the incident raised eyebrows and led to criticism.
- Involvement in her husband's controversial pardons during his presidency, including those for the owners of a carnival company convicted of bank fraud.
- A controversy regarding gifts taken from the White House upon the Clintons' departure in 2001. Some items, worth $28,000, were meant for the White House estate and not as personal gifts for the Clintons. These items were returned after complaints from the donors.
For me, it's this:
[Harris] fought for this law, which raised the financial penalty and made it a criminal misdemeanor for parents, up to a year in jail, when their children missed at least 10 percent of school time.
Well hell man, give us the details.
OK, if it's so easy and the workers create all the value, those workers are free to start their own competing company and become the billionaires.
Because there are also CEOs and similar executives that do NOT fuck up and make billions for their companies. Big risk, but big reward.
Nix and Common Lisp seem to sit in the same space -- it's spoken of extremely fondly but has difficulty escaping the lab. For some reason it's extremely technically capable, but fails to find widespread adoption.
brings jobs back to America
NOOO not THOSE jobs
modern content ownership is grey
It's worse than grey. It doesn't exist unless you hold physical media in your hand.
So you stop and then it goes unchecked.
But de-federating ENSURES it goes unchecked....
Certainly, if it's baseless propaganda you'll have no trouble rebutting all the points instead of attacking the source.
Free speech like this?
Legislation in Tennessee could potentially criminalize speech that causes 'emotional distress' to or 'frightens' another person, which could be seen as a suppression of free speech (www.alternet.org/gop-revolts-against-free-speech-republicans-push-anti-protest-bills-across-the-country/).
In Washington state, Republican Senator Doug Ericksen introduced a bill that would allow state authorities to charge protesters with "economic terrorism" if they participated in illegal demonstrations or coerced private citizens into doing so (www.alternet.org/gop-revolts-against-free-speech-republicans-push-anti-protest-bills-across-the-country/).
In Kentucky, a bill was passed criminalizing the act of insulting a police officer (www.alternet.org/gop-revolts-against-free-speech-republicans-push-anti-protest-bills-across-the-country/).
