That's a takedown notice. Whether it was free speech or not is actually debateable.

Well, at the time, my friends on Facebook just saw it as another sign of tyranny from Sanders and his Soviet-style approach. He would flip out and sue everyone, even those he wronged.

Point being, this stuff isn't limited to Republicans.

He didn't sue them. His lawyers told them to comply with DMCA regulations and they did immediately. Suing them would involve pressing charges or something, not to mention punitive measures. He told them to take his logo off their page.

This is actually a very capitalism thing to do.

Then how about the time the Sanders campaign sued the DNC - even though the DNC were the ones who were wronged?

Didn't the Dnc chairperson give questions to Clinton ahead of time? Either Debbie wassermanwhateverhername or Donna Brazille?
edit: questions before her debates with Bernie I mean.

That's all fake news and conspiracy-mongering by the right wing to keep the Sanders voters and Clinton voters fighting. They saw how well it worked in 2016, so they know that's a winning formula. Divide and conquer. It's ironic people try to claim the election was rigged in her favor given Sanders had white man privilege and was given a free pass on all his myriad scandals by the corporate media while they hammered home emails for 500 days.

But I'm sure you could go online and find any true Democratic article that debunks this nonsense. It's all there to hoodwink the young and gullible Sanders voters, too new to the voting process to understand how it all works.

Hell, DWS was actually way too kind to Sanders. Seriously, ask any Clinton voter that, they'll tell you. So I'm sure the Sanders voters, who feel as if they were oppressed viciously despite being treated with kid gloves, will repeat the same. After the flood of fake news in 2016, I don't trust anything anymore.

I thought Debbie was found dirty.

I was blue and blue in the election. My county voted Bernie. I didn't like the establishment bashing of his as I thought it verged on counterproductive, and his attitude I didn't really liked. At the least I thought it was interesting to wonder what he'd do in the executive branch, but mainly hoped for Clinton because there was a lot on the Democratic side to support her candidacy on different levels.

Still though I heard a lot about how the DNC was doing him wrong.

And seriously, to claim Clinton NEEDED to have the questions handed to her on a silver platter to stand a chance against a shouting old fool who's only political ideas are the same stump speech he's had for forty years, but could never implement into practice, when she's articulate, well-spoken, intelligent, learned, educated, and is always thinking, using her brain on what to solve next... well, that's just offensively sexist. It's something a lot of people criticized about her - that she's "too much of a policy wonk." While Sanders, as a white dude, could offer the sky and the moon to millions of ignorant young voters without any idea or plan on how to make them a reality.
