California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said the governor was denied entry into a venue at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 21, after being invited to speak at the event due to “pressure” from the Trump administration.

Newsom had been scheduled to speak with Fortune at the USA House, Davos, a privately organized event, at the World Economic Forum, which has been recognized by the U.S. government as the nation’s headquarters in Davos.

      According to a bunch of supposed lefties, you don’t vote at all, and then bitch on twitter that nobody picks correct rulers, and the west is falling

        That is according to the democratic establishment that sells those points to the weak minded to shift the blame from their unpopular candidates running status quo campaigns losing.

          Well, some of them are here now, but you’d be surprised how many of the permanently online American “left” is addicted to that hellhole. They’re addicted to angry arguing, and twitter being ruled by mekahitler is an ideal platform for it.
          But it actually doesn’t really matter which social media they bitch on this days.

            I see what you mean. My thought was more that if one’s still on twitter at this point without taking any steps to offramp oneself, they are taking a reactionary stance that is upholding Musks monopoly on online communications.

      Socialists. And if there aren’t any on the ballot, then spend some time to actually organize your community so that next time there are.

      If the election comes and there isn’t anyone on the ballot you want to vote for, you have wasted your political power.
