Moneyed interests simply hate a foreign competitor doing this well ย Not to mention American owned platformsย have just as much pro-Palestinian content so itโs not like if America was sold it that it would suddenly find its content clamped down on Edited March 14 by Redstreak

It completely has to do with it being Chinese owned The Chinese fearmongering has been a reason for them to ban TikTok multiple times since the Trump Administration and every attempt until now has flopped tremendously. ย The most successful efforts have come ever since Jonathan Greenblatt complained about Israel having a TikTok problem lowering support for Israel among American youth. After October 7. They don't want Gen-Z exposed to videos of the IDF's blatant, unforgivable war crimes. Basically 99.9% of all American lawmakers conflate criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism, so they believe anti-Semitism is being driven by TikTok and that's why it needs to be banned. ย Deflecting all of the motivation purely being to "preventing China from influencing our elections" is ignoring the absolute influence that Israel DEFINITELY and PROVABLY has on our elections that our Congressmembers enthusiastically allow to happen on a daily basis. One would be highly mistaken if they believed the alacrity with which this cause is being taken wasn't due to pressure from AIPAC, DMFI, J-Street, and the ADL. 2

It is my understanding that the required signatures is 1000 for a statewide elective office. So, pretty easy to get on the ballot in New Jersey.ย ย

Hillary Clinton dedicated a part of her 2016 convention speech to highlight that Trump is too insane to be trusted with the nuclear weapons because he said, "If we have them, why don't we use them?" To her credit, that's a totally valid point of concern because it's such a ridiculous thing to ask. But, then Trump won and he... didn't use the nuclear weapons. The fears of what would happen when Trump gets elected have been end-of-the-world scenarios since before he got elected and that's largely why voters are now saying Trump was "better than expected" [ref]. Trump is not a hypothetical candidate. We've all literally lived through a Trump presidency. So you can't really convince people into believing stakes that they don't already believe. ย If the Dems just run on "Trump bad" then they will lose. All of us (well, most of us) know this. But, the real kicker is that the stakes that Dems are currently running on aren't new. Trump was always sold as an end-of-Democracy candidate from the start. ย A simple example is this meme from the 2016 primaries:
