    Republicans will bitch and moan about “equal time” requirements…but, then turn around and literally buy entire networks, just to promote their side over the other. How is this even legal?

      How is it legal? It’s not just legal, it’s paraded in front of you! They’re using your tax dollars to campaign! And they refused to stop on a judges order.

      This shit isn’t just legal, bud… it’s fucking celebrated. And will remain this way until America gets off their fat bloated asses, disengages from their sad little Facebook accounts and actually decides to do something about it.

      Because… abuse is always going to be the abusers fault… however, if one chooses to stick around after the 30th or 40th time, at a certain point, you’re just enabling it.

      Stop enabling this shit. You have the numbers.

    If the consequences for all of this ends up being “they were voted out” I’m never fucking voting again.

      Look just don’t worry about them, they were voted out so they can’t do any more damage. There’s a gentleman’s agreement that we don’t prosecute our opponents when in a position of power otherwise it makes it okay. Also it’s not right to meddle in the affairs of the private sector. They can hire staff and direct them as they want. We really want to roll back all the work done by the last administration but lots of people made critical financial decisions based on the rules at the time so if we roll back anything those people will lose some money. Just sit back and be happy that the adults are back in charge …

        Overton window creaks and shudders rightward on its tracks, with a distressing, audibly ratcheting under tension, click, click, cliiicckkk…

    CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss has been pushing reporters to use incendiary language and go on goose chases in attempt to attack Abdul El-Sayed and James Talarico.

      What’s sort of funny about this generation of fascists is that they’re way lazier than their historical counterparts.

      Early voting has already started, asshole. You missed your window weeks ago.

      Most of the US over the age of 50.

      This also happens to be the largest voting bloc in the US. There is a lot of vested interest in controlling what this demographic sees.

      Not to say that they don’t care about other age groups, hence why they also focus so much on the algorithm. But it’s simpler to manipulate more voters by just saying the right things on the evening news.

        Got it. I guess if it wasn’t a factor they wouldn’t be spending millions to capture it.
