The reason I said, “inside the system” is that we need to use the avenues provided to us to try to fight back along side other means, such as protests. We need to unify now more than ever, so lumping everyone who uses the system to affect change into “blue MAGA” is only harming progress.
Phrasing matters. There is a reason I put “Inside the system”.
You are aware that people can hold two beliefs at once, right?
- Democrats are not doing enough and were actively allowing a genocide under their watch.
- Inside our current system, the most powerful act a citizen can perform is voting.
So, not voting and encouraging others not to vote because “blue MAGA” is actively helping the people who are currently enacting genocide+.

Please read the article. Is it possible tiktok can/is being used for nefarious purposes? Yes. Is this specific argument, which will set a precedent to be used in future court cases, the way to go about banning the platform? No.
I am seeing a lot of “Good riddance, tiktok bad cause brainrot.” on other tiktok ban posts, so I’ll put this here:
This article from 2024 gives a pretty good rundown as to why using this reasoning to ban Tiktok will set a very bad precedent:
If the govt cared about your data privacy, they would create data collection regulations that they could then use to ban tiktok if/when they violate them.

The decision to step down confused some Republicans, but others suspected the move had something to do with the House GOP Steering Committee not giving her a coveted post on the House Ways and Means Committee, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter.
Spartz, who has had problems with retaining staff, said she’d prefer to “spend more of my time helping” the mission of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, which is meant to help cut government spending.
The above statement is correct until this text is replaced with a surprised pikachu meme.

Almost there…
I would hope with all that big talk about morals, you two go out and do something to help the USA from it’s slide into facism in real life. Otherwise, you are morally worse than the people who try to affect change.
That is, if you are US citizens.
Ah, my bad I was thinking of world issues and how to slow the crawl of Facism in real life.
I hope you have a better plan for pushing the Palestine Movement than sitting on the sidelines and saying your hands are clean.
Yep, if you don’t have the courage to sacrifice something for a cause bigger than yourself, that is your choice. Just don’t shit on the people who are trying to push the USA in a better direction.
