At this point it's on the Democratic Party for never calling them out on the obvious. The GOP is so openly corrupt, disgusting and straight up retarded but the Dems continue to normalize it by not saying jack shit about any of it. They would rather focus all their ire and attention on "the radical left" in their own party.

    Yep, Ive gotten a lot of harsh words for being more critical of the democratic party than the Republicans. But at this point it's like people being mad at hyenas for killing and eating a child at the zoo.

    They are hyenas.... What did you expect? Shouldn't we be more focused on the parents who lowered the child into their enclosure? Maybe question why the zoo left a bunch of ropes tied to child sized baskets near their enclosure?

    I should also say that as much if not more blame belongs to our media environment. But even then the Dems never bother to try and utilize our pro-corpo/fascist media to their own ends like smart politicians should. So it still ends up on them imo

    THIS, until the U.S. fixes the mess they’ve made with the media like FOX infotainment, the slide to oblivion will continue.

    You can’t have a media juggernaut constantly spewing garbage to the uneducated, ignorant, masses and expect to have a decent country.

    In Canada I’d like to see a no more than 20% foreign ownership rule, event that is too high. The media is such a weapon that it is be a national security concern that is bizarrely overlooked.

    This isn’t answering the question but imagine someone like Jon steward running. I’m not saying he’s my guy or anything but he would know how to work the media and us to get his message out there.

    The right figured it out. It’s not even about just the media too. Left leaning places like Reddit have the rights message plastered on the front page 247 via snarky tweet replies not realizing that all publicity is good publicity. Someone on the left needs to figure out how to amply a left wings vision onto every platform every hour of every single day.

    What are you talking about never calling it out? As if that is our problem.... And "it's on the democratic party" - again what are you talking about? What do your extremely broad statements mean to you? Schumer/Jefferies style governing are definitely not the answer, but "it's all on..." Is a ridiculously odd, shallow take
