An extremely left-wing MSNBC producer provoked massive mockery when he tweeted on Saturday that he refuses “to leave” Twitter.
“I refuse to leave,” MSNBC producer Kyle Griffin tweeted.
Look:
I refuse to leave.

The mockery erupted immediately with critics first sarcastically praising Griffin over his courageous willingness to remain where nobody’s said he’s not wanted.
Look:
Congratulations on your brave courage to be brave and courageous by refusing to leave when no-one asked you to. Everyone on Twitter should congratulate your congratulation deserving courage to take such a brave action. Make sure to tell us every day for the next 5 years of this.

Forget military heroes, religious martyrs… When I think of heroes… I now think of you. Stay courageous and brave. Every minute you stay a bell rings.

Other critics zeroed in on the fact that nobody is forcing Griffin or any other leftist off Twitter, the reason being that conservatives aren’t censorious zealots.
Plus, Twitter isn’t even owned by a conservative — it’s owned by billionaire Elon Musk, a right-leaning centrist who dislikes extremists on both the left and right.
The left have nevertheless portrayed Musk as a far-right conservative because of his support for free speech, which ironically used to be something liberals backed. But apparently not anymore. These days, conservatives are the free speech advocates.
Look:
Liberal privilege is when nobody is forcing you to leave because they disagree with your politics.

Nobody is asking you to. Is this you refusing to do what you told yourself you would do? Debating yourself out loud is an early sign of dementia.

Whose asking you to leave? Grow up? Listen? Admit when your side is wrong? Those are things I’ll ask. But not leave. Leaving is giving up on growth.

Then don’t. No one is forcing you to do anything either way. And if you feel pressure from colleagues or followers to leave, then that’s even more of a reason to stay put.

No one is forcing you to go. We probably are muting you, but your grandstanding is pitiful.
Besides, you are a good exemplar of someone without ethics, integrity, honor or an honest self worth assessment, according a buddy.
Good example of who not to be.Pitiful and shallow.

Note what one of the critics wrote about “pressure from colleagues or followers.”
Many leftists have been voluntarily jettisoning Twitter in favor of alternatives like Mastodon, a left-wing-only safe space for, you guessed it, left-wingers.
Some of the leftists who chose to remain on Twitter are now apparently facing pressure from their fellow leftists to get out. But again, this pressure is coming from the left, not the right. Those on the right don’t care who stays or leaves.
Indeed, the last set of critics bluntly pointed out to Griffin that nobody gives a crap if he stays, leaves, or does whatever else on Twitter.
“This is not an airline, dude. No need to announce your departure, arrival, or… anything else,” one critic succinctly explained.
Look:
This is not an airline, dude. No need to announce your departure, arrival, or… anything else.

Nobody cares. Why do y’all have to tweet about yourselves not leaving. It makes you look like an attention whore.

Nothing would happen if you did. Nothing will happen if you stay. The sun will continue to rise and set… Nobody cares either way.

Are you being delusional Kyle no one cares if you stay or leave you don’t have to announce it like you’re leaving on an airplane you’re a legend in your own minds?

Griffin is, as noted other, extraordinarily left-wing and also very anti-Trump.
Back when then-President Donald Trump promised in May of 2020 that the COVID vaccine would be released before the end of the year, Griffin sought to “fact-check” him.
“Experts say he needs a ‘miracle’ to be right” about the vaccine, Griffin tweeted at the time.

He was obviously very wrong. In fact, he’s very wrong very often …
