Then Twitter's ToS was designed in a manner that promotes one political party above the other. It's not complicated.

That's silly.

If I start the "Election Fraud Party", I don't get to complain that enforcing free and fair elections is an attack on me.

Do you feel your logical extreme is a good rebuttal here?

The article indicates the party account got locked for doxxing a nine year old rape victim. If there's an extreme here, it's not my position.

Hm, maybe. But maybe, some parties are worse than others. I can think of 10s of political parties that should not have been allowed to participate in the democratic process as they (before elections) shown to condone political violence.

So? Condoning violence is irrelevant to if a party represents the electorate.

They’d have to make it legal to condone violence first then.
