    Dumb bullshit.

    If that’s where voters are, that’s where a campaigner should go. And it’s not an immediate ban, it’s a requirement to sell that part of ByteDance to a not-Chinese company, or else it will be banned. Americans are free to use it in the meantime, and probably even afterwards if they feel like jumping through hoops to make it work, as no penalty is applied to any users.

    Not that I expect a propagandist to give a shit about the details.

      I suggest watching the video so as to learn in detail what Sabby Sabs explains, but that would require getting past your own bias as well.

      The DNC helped push for the ban; Kamala is a part of that administration, while using the fact that it is owned by a “Chinese company” as an excuse to censor any opposition to the establishment.

      Hypocrisy: the practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness.

      Now that it is a positive for their campaign, they use this “Chinese company” to push DNC and owner-class propaganda to the younger generations of the working class.

      The title still stands.

        The DNC is not what pushed for the ban, that is a false statement. It is a broad, bipartisan position. Even Trump supported a ban while he was president.

        It has nothing to do with censorship of critics, the NYT was brutally critical of Biden after his debate, yet no one pushed for censorship. Twitter features extensive criticism, yet no bans. It has to do with China being a potential military rival in a future war, and social media apps being able to gather intelligence.

        If Harris provides no useful intelligence to the Chinese, then there is no falseness. She does nothing illegal or unethical until the ban goes into effect.

        Like I said, propaganda. No basis in factuality, and full of made-up things.

            Spoken like someone that owns nothing.

            And no, just common fucking sense when we have guaranteed Taiwanese independence and China has said military force is possible for re-unification. You can put those two things together, right? Is either one of those made up in your opinion?

              It does not seem to be “common sense” when you straight up believe in US military and duopoly propaganda like if it’s the holy scripture.

              It goes back to those critical of the owner-class and those that are apologetics for them.

                Well, I do believe it when my country says to Taiwan we will defend their independence with military force. Do you think this is false, and we will not do so?

                I also believe Xi Jinping when he says that military force is possible to reunify with Taiwan if necessary. Do you think this one is false, and he has not said this?

                Assuming neither is false, can you detect a potential problem with Chinese software being prevalent in America?
