GOP members of the house judiciary committee posted the NY Post article about Biden to the official house website. Twitter is now actively censoring the link Twitter is deciding what the Government can and cant share with its citizens.. So yeah.. i’d say thats a threat to democracy.. https://youtu.be/UgNWKIXvHp8

This the biggest problem with our elected officials constantly using hiperbly. Because they’ve been saying that the other side’s actions are “the greatest threat to democracy”, when it isn’t true. Now in 2020, the threat is real and they’ve cried wolf so many times that many people don’t believe them.

They are, but the biggest threat to democracy is democracy itself. Election through popular vote is naturally flawed because it reflects the majority opinion, and the majority of people are easily fooled and manipulated. Big corporations like Twitter and Facebook can easily sway public opinion, and the Democratic and Republican parties can too.
