I disagree: "equal justice under law" and the same rights, even for oligarchs.
Not, *more* is what is causing all these problems in a democracy.

Public infrastructure, in particular for #SocialMedia, should never be privately owned.

Wow. Just looked at a “canvass” for the Trump campaign hosted on the WinRed platform. It’s a thinly veiled donation ask (and only a donation ask as there’s no way to submit your responses without donating).

There are several YES/No questions with the “correct” answers marked with “MAGA.” One of the questions appears to misgender Kamala. Was that intentional?

After a quickly scrolling marquee of recent donors, we’re presented with the purpose of this canvass: donation options.

Donation amounts are tied to judgements of the presidential candidate with the $100 amount pulsing.

Recurring donations seem to be hidden behind a pledge of support. An additional donation amount is tied to some long inspirational verbiage. Checking the box causes an explosion of U.S. flags.

These last two options use Unicode characters that Voiceover reads one character at a time “mathematical bold F”—every, single, letter.
