the negatives those 1200 coordinated radio stations could generate were a big part of the reason they got it anywhere near enough to steal but the idea that a major party can put up this orange asshole and continue to deny global warming and still win more than 30% of the vote signals that something huge and major is wrong and we'd better fix it.
gotv isn't going to do it - dems have to stop ignoring rw radio and have to go on the offensive
if you want to wait for limbaugh and sons to stop on their own you're not paying attention
