The media has one set of rules for Christian fascists and one for everyone else.

I will never get over how in an election between a candidate who wished his chief of staff emulated the Nazis, and a candidate who married a Jewish man, the later was the one who had to prove she was not antisemitic.

Listening in June of 2025 and lol.

Probably because there haven't been enough Democrats in the House & Senate to get them passed & the electoral college would require the years long process of amending the constitution.

The live-on-the-scene reporter style reminds of me what weβre shown reporters do via media. Itβs giving Guy Smiley!

The Democratic party has done nothing to limit the power of the executive, overturn citizens united, reinstate the voting rights act, get rid of the electoral college, or end gerrymandering. All of these work together to undermine democracy and ensure overrepresentation of minority rule. These systemic issues in our government benefit both parties who wish to maintain power, but limit the people's influence in government. Sigh.
