Nothing concrete yet, but there is hope. The fact that mainstream media aired this may actually cause investors to start pulling out. The bubble is kept inflated by investor confidence, after all.

I see you are no longer interested in a rational discussion. Get blocked.

America is already doing more harm to itself than any external nation is, so you don't have to worry if you want it's people to suffer.

Your argument is that TikTok creates a national security risk by directing users to right or alt-right leaning views.

You are ignoring YT's documented past of doing this exact thing because "China bad".

YouTube also funneled German users to that same alt-right party.

Brother, according to that logic, YouTube is a national security risk. I was refering to things the American govt labels as a national security risk to protect corporate interests.

I guess. TikTok did raise awareness of the Gaza genocide and, by extension, create instability in the US. It also distanced the public from the US government's closest ally, Israel.

What is the national security concern?

I can't wait for this to be announced as a threat to national security.

Ah, my bad, I misunderstood that as proof of which D candidate was stronger.

I said current evidence of which candidate the Republicans were potentially supporting. Is that source not evidence? Is it just fake news?

Nowhere did I say hard proof.

Volunteer count: Abdul had 10k people sign on to help with the campaign.

Polls: Abdul constantly led in the polls.

Democracy: Michigan Democrats believe he is the strongest candidate, so the majority voted for him.

Current evidence says otherwise in regards to who the 'weaker' candidate is, but that doesn't mean the fearmongering won't activate enough R voters in the general to out vote the progressive's momentum.

Echelon Insights suggested that Republican-leaning voters may have helped Stevens in the Detroit metro area.
