At the February monthly member meeting, the Clinton County Democratic Party unanimously decided to leave Twitter/X, effective immediately. This decision was not made lightly, but it was made with conviction. We refuse to remain on a platform owned by Elon Musk, a man who has repeatedly used his influence to amplify hate speech, promote conspiracy theories, and undermine the very foundations of democracy.
Continuing our presence on X would mean lending credibility and driving engagement to a space that promotes division and misinformation. Our commitment is to foster a community that upholds equity, inclusion, and truth. For these reasons, we are taking our conversation to Bluesky (@ClintonCountyDems.bsky.social)—a platform that better aligns with our mission to nurture constructive dialogue and positive community engagement. Make no mistake: this is not a temporary departure. We will not be returning to X.
Some may ask, if we are leaving X, why not leave Facebook as well? While we deeply disagree with the actions of Mark Zuckerberg and Meta—particularly his pivot to the right, the abandonment of critical diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, and his support for policies that favor divisiveness—we find that his actions do not yet rise to the same level of egregiousness as those we see with Musk. Moreover, in a more rural county like Clinton County, the public interface that Facebook provides remains invaluable. Its community and group tools are especially accessible to many of our constituents who may be less computer savvy, making it a critical channel for staying connected and informed.
Our decision to remain on Facebook for now is born out of necessity and practicality, not endorsement. We will continue to engage with our community where they are most comfortable, even as we reallocate our energy to platforms that more faithfully reflect our values.
We invite all our supporters to follow us on Bluesky and join us in building a future rooted in justice, equity, and democratic integrity. Together, we will ensure that our voices continue to be heard—on the platforms that matter and in the spaces where our shared values thrive.
