Topic: "Was Twitter Right To Have Booted Trump?"

On the one hand, I am glad that the company de-platformed President Trump, because there was an active threat to the US government that he was abetting in real time.

Okay, that's false. One of the many reasons why that is false is because Trump was in fact telling people to go home from the protest. Let's take a look at the counter-point.

...by all accounts a dangerous leader who goaded his white supremacist followers into violent actions

Umm, that's even more false. For even more obvious reasons.

So, what is the point of your new left-wing echo chamber again? There are plenty already--you do realize that, yes?

Maybe you could suggest[0] that as a topic:

"Were President Trump's words and actions part of the reason why the Capitol was stormed?"

Presumably you think the answer to that is "No", in which case you should put yourself forward as one of the experts. If I'm misrepresenting your position or asking the wrong question then hopefully you can find a more neutral way to phrase it.

Agreed. We'd be happy to host a conversation on that topic!
