The young voices in the messages left for North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis were laughing, but the words were ominous.
“OK, listen, if you ban TikTok I will find you and shoot you,” one said, giggling and talking over other young voices in the background. “I’ll shoot you and find you and cut you into pieces.” Another threatened to kill Tillis, and then take their own life.
Tillis’s office says it has received around 1,000 calls about TikTok since the House passed legislation this month that would ban the popular app if its China-based owner doesn’t sell its stake. TikTok has been urging its users — many of whom are young — to call their representatives, even providing an easy link to the phone numbers. “The government will take away the community that you and millions of other Americans love,” read one pop-up message from the company when users opened the app.
Cool zoomers to US congress and senate members : 
If they’re not willing to fight for my vote then yeah they’re as bad as republicans who also don’t fight for my vote. They expect to get my vote just because they are slightly less bad, but that’s not enough in my opinion.
But then you're willing to die on this one hill at the expense of everything else?
While each party isn't perfect, you should still look at the whole and judge based on that whole. No party can be 100% of everything you want as no one will want 100% of everything you want too. If they tried to be everything you want, then they would lose against so many others. And from what I'm seeing, this seems to be mostly complained about from the under 18 year old crowd that couldn't vote anyways, meaning it's most likely been considered of the for and against and the vote age (and their block) are for it.
At the expense of everything else? What, like doing nothing to preserve Roe v. Wade, continuing evil border practices, and supporting a genocide?
Them working to ban TikTok is at the literal bottom of the list.
How is it that libs wander in here and pretend every issue is in a vacuum and that everything the Dems do is fine otherwise? Not 100% perfect? They're not even 10% perfect. The only thing they have going for them is that they're not the Republicans, and that hasn't been enough for a long, long time.
it's incredibly condescending to assume that you are seeing the whole picture and that anyone complaining is not
and then to double down by claiming that the people who are against this aren't even worth it anyway cos they're too young to vote right this second
and libs wonder why they keep shooting themselves in the foot
oh, we are.
I don’t need them to be 100% aligned with my views, but it’s okay for me and anyone else to recognize that they’re not even trying to get my vote. Most of what I want is very popular among the masses of the country but democrats couldn’t care less. Fuck em. If they don’t want to represent even 1% of my views, why should they get 100% of my vote?
The Democrats are actively aiding and abetting a genocide in Palestine. My judgement based on the whole is that the entire party should be tried and hanged for war crimes.
