    Honestly I think it’s fine, smart, and like they said, a little bit funny.

    If some portion of Trump’s audience is on Truth Social, it makes a reasonable amount of sense to go there with targeted messaging for them. Posting clips of Republicans complimenting Biden or criticizing Trump is a good way to stir up a bit of division amongst Republicans, and it shows that the Democrats aren’t afraid of Trump’s echo chamber.

    On the plus side, it won’t be long before they get banned for trashing Trump, and that’ll only show what completely spineless bitch asses the far right are.

      I doubt Biden will get banned. It’d be much better to just shadowban or at least limit the amount of exposure. You accomplish the same thing without looking like you are censoring.

      Banning will give lots of Republicans cognitive dissonance since this platform and other right wing platforms that are slowly being legitimized like Rumble heavily use free speech in their marketing.

      Easy to ban and ignore regular people, but banning a president will inevitably end up on the news. Maybe Trump will decide that the media exposure will be good anyways, though. Any PR is good PR has essentially been Trump’s main strategy since 2015.
