When Threads launched on Wednesday, numerous right-wing users shared(opens in a new tab) their dissatisfaction(opens in a new tab) with Twitter’s biggest competitor — on Twitter of course — over having their accounts flagged for disinformation. As of Friday, however, it seems the warning label on accounts that reported the issue has since disappeared.

    if you merely believe in smaller government and think the GOP will give that to you, then you’re delusional and gullible

      Sure, but that doesn’t make you a bad person.

      I grew up as a fervent GOP supporter and thought they just weren’t able to execute because I lived in a blue state, and then I moved to a red state and realized the problem isn’t with any given party, but the lack of accountability when they have a clear majority.

      So I now consider myself libertarian and vote for whichever candidate has a decent platform in a given election. In my state, that’s usually libertarians and Democrats, and for President, it varies by election. My vote doesn’t matter that much either way, but I try to do my due diligence anyway in case I can influence others who live in more interesting areas.

      I dislike both major parties, but both field decent candidates from time to time. Unfortunately, that hasn’t happened for President in quite some time though.
