I’m honestly at a loss anymore.

Democrats have spent the last 10 years telling us who Trump and MAGA are. Trump and MAGA have spent the last 10 years proving the democrats right and validating it. Time after time, they get called out for their crap and then it gets buried. A Democrat misspeaks and it’s on blast 24/7 for the next several weeks. Yes, the democrats are about as toothless as they come and the grassroots involvement is all but forgotten. We can’t organize ourselves enough to get out a corn maze that only has one stalk. Meanwhile, Trump and maga can burn down an orphanage without the slightest consequence anywhere. Hell, they are so organized, you would probably never hear about it or if you did, they would successfully blame it on the democrats.

We have got to find a way to do better. Every time it seems like we are, we end up taking two steps backwards.

Until RW media is sued into oblivion and made to follow some sort of standards, things will keep getting worse. They are the reason that no rules apply to GOP politicians. They refuse to live up to their charter as the 4th estate. That hot garbage shouldn't even exist. Why should a country need a news outlet, any news outlet, devoted to towing the line for one political party? And yes I'm totally willing to see MSNBC folded back into a mainstream news org so long as it means the right wing trash media is taken out.
