of course if you are demrat you can do this.
Like many sentient beings, we are often frustrated by the rank hypocrisy of politicians and the press whose moral compass is always set to True Left. But sometimes we forget just how flagrant it is.
Case in point is the hysteria over President Trumpās election ādenialism.ā The press automatically appends the word ālieā anytime anyone suggests that the 2020 election wasnāt on the up and up. Democrats portray Novemberās election as a āfight for Democracyā because a vote for a Republican is a vote for election-denying-Jan. 6-terrorist-sympathizing fascists. Just bringing up the idea of election fraud is tantamount to treason. Big Tech tries its best to suppress any form of this dangerous āmisinformation.ā
Well, the other day we came across this video and were truly shocked at how widespread election denialism has become.
This video is a collection of clips of prominent politicians and personalities claiming outright that the election was stolen and that the president is illegitimate, and that the Electoral College should ignore official vote tallies and appoint the next president.

The difference is that
everyone in this video is a Democrat or a journalist ā Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Kamala Harris, top news programs, late-night āentertainers,ā advocacy groups ā all asserting that the 2016 election was stolen. It is truly stunning.

Yet none of the people in this video was ever branded a liar. All of them are still held in high regard by the press and fawned over by celebrities. They all have clean records from Big Tech.
As Matt Taibbi writes in his
Substack:
Those comments were not censored or suppressed when made the first time around, by the likes of Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Karine Jean-Pierre, Adam Schiff, Rob Reiner, Tom Arnold, and Chris Hayes, among many others. Nor did any platform step in to issue warnings when my former boss, Keith Olbermann, promised with regard to Trumpās ascension to the White House, āIt will not be a peaceful transfer of power.ā
Watch for yourself (itās embedded below). And the next time anyone starts wetting themselves about how election deniers are an existential threat to Democracy, share this video with them.
And then ask them to repeat what they just said.
And hereās the final bit of hypocrisy.
While YouTube took no action against any of those individual comments when they were made, it decided to demonetize this video. Because it apparently doesnāt like videos that make Democrats look bad. As Taibbi, who by the way is no conservative, writes:
The decision to assemble these materials in one place, inviting audiences to consider their meaning, apparently crosses a line. Now we know: you can deny election results on a platform like YouTube as much as you want, you can even promise disruption, but drawing attention to such behavior angers the algorithm. Itās hard to imagine a better demonstration of the double-standard in content moderation.
