"There are concerns"

Can you link to something describing the basis for these concerns?

I absolutely agree that we should not give the Executive any more power.

So... Harris 2024, yes?

Snark aside, as long as democracy functions, all power ceded to the government is ceded willingly by a majority of the people.

That is, by definition, the people exercising their collective will, which is to say it is the decentralization of power.

And please, we are nowhere near communism in the USA. We aren't even approaching socialism, despite what your bogeyman solicitors are shouting at you.

Do better.

Is money tantamount to power?

Is the centralization of power bad?

If yes to both, then the centralization of money is bad.

You have no argument against this. The best you can do is to attempt to refute the notion that money is tantamount to power, which will be laughable. But please do try.

>There were a large body of studies showing that Ivermectin helped with COVID.

No, there wasn't. I haven't kept up with the science, so there may be such studies now, but there certainly wasn't back in late 2020, when the ivermectin craze spread like wildfire among right wingers.

It's difficult to parse subsubzero's post after his edit, but he's saying Zuck believes Trump will win in 2024, so Zuck's spinning a narrative that he was forced to remove COVID misinformation, because COVID misinformation was largely a right-wing phenomenon.

My response to him was to point out that Harris is strong and trending stronger, while Trump is weak, so the tea leaves are saying the opposite of what he thinks they're saying.

Things are headed strongly in the opposite direction you're implying.

Prove that it wasn't fair.
