More than a decade after joining the platform, one riddled with scandal and chutzpah, former president Donald Trump’s relationship with Twitter has ended in acrimony. For years, Mr. Trump has tested the limits of acceptable speech on the platform, exposing the arbitrary enforcement of the ‘community guidelines’ that theoretically govern major social media platforms, while […]
Earlier in November, the world watched as Joe Biden was elected as America’s next President, making history in the process. Not because Biden is the 45th white male to ascend to the nation’s highest office, and not because he will be the oldest elected President ever (haps baps for Friday, Joe – the big 7-8!). […]

Given this, it will be easy for the Democrats to believe that a repeat of Hillary Clinton’s crushing defeat to Donald Trump in 2016 […]
Joe Biden, considered the moderate, safe choice for the Democratic Presidential Nomination since he entered the race April 25th last year, is not doing well.
