I was suspended by Twitter for the following comment regarding Herr Drumpf…“If enough Americans overcome his Redneck Strumpets with their vote, he will be. Then there will probably be cheering in the UN Chamber.”

I appealed and got ignored. This was at the same time they were allowing him to make all kinds of outrageous & abusive comments about everything. All I suggested was that America should vote him out. Any attempts to contact Twitter to reason with them simply get the same “please note that while we review your appeal, you won’t be able to access your Twitter account. We’ll take a look and will respond as soon as possible. If you’d rather just delete the content, you can cancel your appeal.”
I do not see what in my comment is so offensive that it earned such a ban. So I will not delete the comment as a matter of principle.
Herr Drumpf meanwhile stirred up an insurrection and attempted to stage a coup with his lies and misinformation, but Twitter did nothing about him until after Jan 6th. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Everything is people of color. Did you know white and black are not colors? But you are right in that this case is covered more, not because she was white just knew the right people.
Did you know white and black are not colors? I agree that this case has been all over except tv. They just know the right people. Sad but they do not deserve what they got but if you stay with an abusive person then oops
