Not that simple. The 1st Amendment keeps the government from stopping you from saying that.

However, it does not protect you from private actors who take umbrage.

The core problem for the Democratic party is to move past the traditional interest group model of the New Deal coalition.

In today's media environment, you can't tailor messages to different groups - everything leaks.

So you have to move to a "universal approach" based on first principles.

Bluesky is a great improvement over "X," my feed isn't full of crazy MAGAs, women doing soft porn for clicks, jihadists, Russian bots, and whatever else that algorithm dumps on me.

But the tone here is too much MSNBC echo chamber, this place shouldn't be the anti-Musk.
