Why can't all the people just shut up and believe what we tell them - Huff Post

I was taught a long time ago that "democracy" is a key word that really means "communism" just replace democracy with communism any time you see it in one of the articles from someplace like HP. It has held true for over 40 years now.

So it's good when they have a megaphone but terrible when everyone else has one as well. I don't think 'democracy means what they think it means.

Jews, blacks and SJW cucks cannot exist where freedom of speech is allowed. It is very damaging to their platform because the vast do not agree with them.

Democracy and Free Speech go hand in hand. Free speech is how a society error-corrects, finds out what works and what doesn't work. Voters must have honest and open conversations in order to determine what is true and what needs to change. This is very basic.
If you are against free speech it is because you are against a democratic society. That is where Huffpo has planted its flag.

Huffpo is openly Socialist which can't exist without censorship so it makes absolute sense for them to think this. Any platform for speech that isn't censored immediately becomes right-wing because logical arguments always trump emotional ones

...in the long run, yes!

Is there an official statement that self describes the site as Socialist? I know that that's their orientation, but that's an observation only the versed can see, I'm sure normies see it as a non political/centrist website.

And by democracy, they mean as practised by States like the glorious old Deutsche Demokratische Republik.
