      That media has gone unchecked for many decades. They shouldn’t be able to spew lies and ignore key facts to create a false narrative like republicans have been doing for 50+ years.

      Shit should’ve been regulated long ago so as to not have the current situation we’re in where a portion of the population has become brainwashed.

          Studies have shown that dem positions are overwhelmingly popular when they’re not labeled as specifically dem. The problem is laws that allow media to blatantly lie to people who are desperate, stupid, or both.

            He’s saying you give more attention to progressives who won’t kowtow to democrats in their speech, when they vote for democrats with their votes. The real issue is a system that let’s a R win when they don’t get the majority of votes (that last part is my addition)

              The only thing I’m asking for is voting for Dems - specifically to stop trump and his evil horde of idiot rapists.

              Speechify however one likes, I’m more than likely in agreement - but there is a significant number of commenters specifically positioning themselves as “left” or “progressive” who very specifically refused to vote Democratic despite necessarily punching themselves in the crotch out of ignorance.

              If someone’s onboard with voting to defeat MAGA but wants to rag on the Dems or the administration for less-than-whatever, bring it. I 100% support that.
