11. Me too. ZERO

Aug 11

I stopped watching after the election and only tuned in again, briefly, to see coverage of the LA fires.

I follow the news online and, of course, here on DU.

I'm tired of disingenuous multi millionaires soft pedal bullshit, and lecture me on how smart they are, while refusing to use their platform to NUKE the Republicons and the Billionaires.

Done with them.
