(5,272 posts)24. argh...I was making the point that these are media hit jobs, and I have to wonder how you missed
that. Yes they are dealing with ruthless people who lie cheat and steal, and Gods be good, it better not be as you suggest, that they actually don't understand this. You're saying I'm calling our leadership losers while you put that in your post?
I think Democrats are content to play the corporate game, on the playing field as set up by the corporations, rather than railing against a rigged system that is keeping them in second place. I'm not sure why you aren't frustrated with this, given that you do see that the media does hit jobs, always against one side if you hadn't noticed that, which suggests that it has an agenda. It shouldn't be much of a stretch to see that that agenda is to support the interests of their parent companies and their advertisers. It isn't a ratings game that is driving their shitty-ness. They led with emails for two weeks! Tell me they simply capitalized on that excitingly esoteric topic's legs, rather than growing them themselves.
So yeah, Dems should kind of start calling out that cheating and stealing, don't you think?

Let's hope they run a progressive who appeals to a huge swath of the electorate.

Except the STUPID question about going 3rd party which is walking to your own political execution.
