Still waiting for the list of what he's been right about.
A list (you may not like it).
Medicare for all
Wealth/income inequality/neo-liberalism
Infrastructure spending (human and physical)
Environmental protection
Money in politics

Re: Banned
I do value being able to come to a place like this where people can say whatever they want. At the same time, I have always taken the position that, while everyone should be free to say whatever they want, no one else is obligated to provide them a platform from which to say it.
One has to ask where the point of refusing to provide a platform is.
I look at it as similar to what used to happen back in the day when I used to write a lot of letters to the editor for the local newspaper. I got a lot published. But I never looked at them as obligated to publish any of them. I can remember a time when I wrote one and used a particular book as a source. The guy in charge of things called me and told me somebody on the group that made the decisions said the source I was using was not reliable. At first I was a little aggravated but in time I learned that somebody was correct.
Facebook is not obligated to provide Trump a platform to continue to lie to people; nor should it be. There is a difference between "political speech" and out and out lying.
In my own experience, there is PLENTY of conservative speech on Facebook. In my own feed I see a whole lot more conservative speech than liberal seppech. What they are doing isn't about conservative vs. liberal. It's about truth vs. falsehood. And, even then, an awful lot of what I see that I characterize as "conservative speech" is falsehood. It pains me to say that because I am a conservative. But it's the truth. The conservative movement has serious problems with the truth right now.
And truth is truth. It's not a subjective thing. When you make an assertion it is either true or it is false. It's not a matter of perspective.

Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

I’m probably a free speech absolutist, but I might ban any JSO post with “I’m a conservative” in it, on grounds of misinformation.

Where did I even so much as hint about cancelling him? I don't agree with his white supremacy and support for pedophilia but he's entitled to his beliefs. Acting on them could bring criminal charges but he can believe what he wants.

Most? What is it like 51% to 49%?
Both parties are filled with self-righteous hypocrites who think they have the moral high ground to dictate what is and isn't acceptable based on their own inherent biases.
