A comment on Twitter locked my account for a nine year old tweet.

> It’s honestly a very immature tweet. It’s something I wouldn’t say today. I have personally grown past the hate of the two party system. I feel like I have a clearer and more mature view on American elections…

Congrats on your new political maturity, but no mention or reflection on the deeply sexist language you used makes me think that you haven’t grown at all.

Honestly... Way to give a non-apology and twist the narrative.

'I have personally grown past the hate of the two party system'.

No, your 'hate of the two party system' was not what the problem was and I am pretty sure you are smart enough to figure that out. You were not locked for tweeting against the two party system. Let's not pretend this ban had anything to do with politics. If anything Twitter is full of left-leaning folks many of whom would celebrate such juvenile and crass language.
