All youtube did was fan the flames of political division. Imagine after 2016, youtube decided to ban everyone accusing Trump of cheating. Do you think that would make the democrats "see the light"? Or do you think it would galvanize the democrats?
This election is ultimately going to be decided in the supreme court. Not on youtube. Youtube should have just kept out of this issue.
Trump is celebrating this right now because not only does it rile up his base, it makes independents and even some democrats take notice and sympathize with Trump.
Even if youtube had good intentions ( and I'm not sold on that ), they ultimately are damaging the country. But I guess that's why they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
- donkeyd 6y agoTrump did cheat, in a way. Foreign actors clearly influenced those elections and Trump won with a minority in the popular vote. Democrats accepted that outcome and conceded the election. Many democrats gave Trump the benefit of the doubt. Barack invited him to the white house and allowed him to start the transition. All this even though many people already hated the idea of a Trump presidency. I don't have to imagine the democrats did anything like the republicans are doing now, because it didn't happen.
