A lot of things worry me about a Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration, but nothing troubles me more than that it will accommodate the left's disturbing march toward selective suppression of free speech.
Much of the war against this sacred liberty occurs at the level of our culture, but when a leftist-friendly administration is in power, our efforts to combat this culturally will be more difficult.
As a result of structural and technological changes in our society, threats to free speech no longer come from the government alone, and so, our constitutional guarantees against encroachments are now inadequate. There has been such a consolidation of power in the media and social media that these two institutions pose a great danger to our speech apart from any state action.
As you know, the federal Constitution and state constitutions only restrict government abridgments of speech, not those emanating from privately owned entities. But lately, these institutions have become increasingly powerful and alarmingly censorious toward conservative speech, and their actions clearly impacted the presidential election.
The mainstream media doesn't even present both sides of issues anymore, and its coverage of President Donald Trump has been entirely negative, despite the enormous successes of his administration. The media conspiratorially shielded a cognitively failing Joe Biden and abdicated their reporting function concerning his condition and his unprecedented absence during the campaign. They wholly ignored credible corruption allegations against his son Hunter Biden. They invariably present their editorial views as straight news. All of these practices and more deceive and poison their viewers.

Actually, the government is shielding social media from lawsuits stemming from their censoring conservative speech.
Because of the way the law is written they cannot be sued for what they are doing.
What do you expect from a socialist? Freedom of Speech
There is always the chance that Biden's age will catch up to him before Dec 14th... as far as I know one can not vote for the dead. The dead may vote illegally, but the decesed may not accept their votes. The actual election of the President and VP doesn't happen until the 14th of December... the November election was a vote for determining who would receive a State's Electors... not a direct vote for President. Kamala Harris would not become VP or President either, as she is part of a ticket for President and Vice-President, if one party isn't available, neither part may takes office, as the people did not vote for her alone... and the electors are committed to a joint ticket no longer available..
