Aaah, the good old "you can create your own platform" argument. Please remind me again how that went for Parler and Gab.

I have these 2 questions/thoughts:
1) Do you think it's a good idea to have all the branches of the government controlled by 1 party? We actually had this a few decades ago in the Czech republic and we refer to that period as "totalita" or dictatorship. Let's say the wet dream (based on comments like yourself) of all Democrats becomes real and they control everything from communal level to presidency. How is it different than China, USSR or Czechoslovak Socialist Republic?
2) What has changed in the past half a year? If I am not mistaken, Democrats have had control of the presidency and house for over half a year now. I admit HN is my only source of news, but it seems like there are still ICE camps. There is still half-built wall between US and Mexico. The US still drones countries on the other side of the world. From the statistics people are still living paycheck to paycheck and can't afford healthcare (I understand the plague has its fair share here too). The US still helps Israel, which is IMO a rogue state at this point, as per the Pegasus scandal.
