Because YouTube is not, despite their claims, a private company. They are a political actor. An illegal, undeclared PAC for the DNC.

So is Google, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, and pretty much every other social media company. And the worst part is that doesn't even make the Top 5 for reasons why these social media should be forcibly disbanded.

I'm not sure that it's not simply that the DNC is doing Alphabet's bidding.

Because youtube run is by democrats and democrats still have Trump Derangement Syndrome.

The dems committed to vaccines as our saviour from coronavirus, meanwhile, Trump was confident that we could largely treat our way through the pandemic.

TDS causes the afflicted to vehemently oppose anything Trump says, no matter how mild or reasonable a statment it may be, with absolute cast-iron, no-negotiations, my-way-or-the-gulag fervor and zeal.

So whenever a drug is tested on coronavirus patients, it doesn't matter if it reduces serious cases by 70% and recovery times by 50%. It's a drug, and its success would make Trump right, and nothing is more important to a TDS sufferer than dedicating your every waking moment to making sure it looks like Trump is as wrong as wrong can be. It becomes a obsession, a compulsion, to go great lengths to prevent anyone from saying anything that would imply Trump was even a little bit right about something. Even half a year after he left office, there are people spending huge amounts of time and effort in this bizarre endeavor.

Trump has literally broken the left's brains. He has somehow caused their neurons to become connected in a pattern that is no longer able to percieve reality. They get stuck in loops of repetitive behavior, such as compulsive chanting, and screaming and crying at cameras.

I honestly think these people need clinical study and some kind of treatment for psychological trauma.

I find his word choice a bit midwit, and combined with this slow, choppy way of speaking it's difficult to listen to.

Lex's native language is Russian. Most Russians don't sound as good as Lex because the language is way different from English.

The fact that he's able to express himself in English as well as your average shouldn't-have-gone-to-university kid is quite impressive, but it doesn't make it any easier for me to engage.

He'd very bland and talking in thick Russian accent vould spice it up a lot.

I’ve probably been tainted by TFATK subreddit, but he’s an insufferable dork.

You're describing a grey area. That's where tyrants hide.
