How do these people define democracy? Is democracy defined as only voting for what THEY want? If anything Parler would save democracy cause it allows people freedom of speech to decide what they actually want (At least IF its legit and not a honeypot which it could be) . Twitter is a threat to democracy cause they censor and ban people and don't let people have free exchange of ideas. (Also if they apparently don't like "echo chambers" then why didn't they speak out against twitter censoring and banning people?)

In their color revolution manuals, they literally describe democratic populism as an obstacle to democracy. That's a thing they say.

It means the corrupt elites win.

When people vote in a way that is contrary to the preferences of the corrupt elites, that is a 'threat to democracy'.

Haven't you ever noticed the pattern in those crappy countries in Africa they've been whining about for decades? Every time a political party wins an election that some militant special interest group or another doesn't like, violence breaks out. (And then unicef and care gear up the sob machines. artifically feed the brats so that they can become dependent, and 20 years from now, cause another crisis, like ethiopia, the perpetual millstone of the world.)

That is what democracy is - controlling the mob and making everyone vote the mobs way or sick the mob on them. Tyranny of the majority.

Parler is almost definitely a honeypot, which is why they would talk about it at all. You need to give your phone number to even make an account, as well as other information if use it on mobile I believe. Not trustworthy at all. If Parler was actually a threat to their system they would never mention it, and payment companies would be shutting it and the people who own it down.

This is why I will never make a Parler account.

Why the fuck do they need your phone number?

Anti spam. Phone numbers cost money, making Parler accounts cost money.

There are alternative methods to have anti-spam protection without creating a major privacy encroachment.

Parler seems like a blatant honeypot that is being used to take note of the people who refuse leftist big tech.

Dan Bongino seems like truly a great guy I agree but who knows about everyone else involved with Parler?

People here including me thought Chad Wolf was a complete patriot but he is now refusing to fire the cyber unit guy that President Trump wants fired.

We can't know anyone's true loyalties at this point.

The globalist swamp is quite deep.

I rather not take a chance on Parler at this rate.

it is not good, it is a threat to democracy that these people are in echo chambers, and they’re being fed a diet of lies, essentially.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

CNN and every other mainstream "news" outlet is a threat to civil liberties and our republic.

Talk about being fed a steady diet of lies. It's CNN's entire job. Any truth that sneaks in is incidental to the core mission of deception.

People expressing their opinions is a threat to democracy.

Corporations expressing their opinions is a sacred right.

Honk honk.

Democracy= globalists getting their own way. Threat to democracy= non globalists winning elections.

Everything that allows the demos to voice its own opinion, rather than having Fake news CNN control it, is a threat to democracy.

Democracy is just a form of communism, so "threat to democracy" is a compliment at best and an empty meaningless phrase at worst
