The media is just a billionaire propaganda machine. They have to make both sides sound equally right so both sides keep fighting each other instead of fighting the billionaires causing all the problems.
So foolish to think this way.
The longer we sit here and make it about the "other" is another day/year/decade that these people play us and stay in power.
The democrats had the house, senate, and presidency for 4+ years. Where is that Healthcare?
Spoiler: Both sides are bad, they both get paid off. Its just that one side is really fucking honest with you right now ... to the point where they commit crimes in public because no one will do anything about it.
Correction: They SAY they want health care and education, get elected, and then spend their political capital making most people poorer, doing fascism, and genociding.
Equal? Universal healthcare is derided as the delusions of radical extremists. A mere pipedream of anti-semitic tankies, if we're talking the gambit of American media.
Actually, the other side mostly wants things to stay the same. Their constituents, on the other hand, would like to see better healthcare, education, unions, and stronger safety nets. But since the other side aren’t fascists, their voters are stuck with them.
This right here ☝️. The grassroots democrats I could support. It's the Chuck Schumers and John Fettermans that will undermine the party from within that make supporting democrats difficult.
Why haven't the democrats kicked out Fetterman?
He was elected in 2022, so his next election is in 2028.
Senators are elected for 6 years. House Representatives have election every 2 years.
Rotating villain. He allows them to tell their constituents "we want what you want, we just don't have the power because of thay one guy, but if you vote just a little harder, we won't pull the football away this time", while telling their donors "we ain't giving them shit lmao".
How would that work, exactly?
PA senators are not subject to recalls, so it's out of the hands of the voters. He could technically be impeached and removed from office by the Senate itself... but for what, exactly? It's not illegal to vote a certain way, even if it's against the wishes of your constituency.
And even if Fetterman were somehow removed, PA is an extremely competitive state. Remember, he won against Doctor fucking Oz, so the chance of someone even worse coming in to replace him is quite high. The devil you know, etc etc...
Best case scenario is that he gets primaried into irrelevance in 2028 by someone with actual integrity. But even then, I'm not holding my breath...
Which side wants healthcare and education? There's some independents that may want that but the two parties of the apparatchik are the same except one has a veneer to mask the racism. Lest we forget, both sides have bombing brown people schools in the middle east as a hobby...
the media is owned by private individuals with their own agenda.
No, the media doesn't think that, the owners of the media wants the media to say that they're equal
We need to keep repeating this, it's a CLASS war.
It's always been a class war. Sometimes we do some of the fighting but the rich are always fighting.
