Fox News did not air a second of the speeches from alienated GOP leaders and former Trump officials who endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris at this week’s Democratic National Convention.
The spirit of the law doesn’t mean anything. The law itself barely even means anything given how it’s enforced. I’m not exactly seeing equal access for third party candidates. This is just the ruling class negotiating via the two parties.
Oof, I guess if I’m gonna split hairs, I gotta go all-in. A third party candidates even recognized as candidates by the FCC?
Good God, how fucked is this country?
On this particular topic the two parties basically just throw lawyers at the system they created for themselves in order to fight each other. For example, they made networks take down some reruns of Trump’s shows during the last election. As if that would matter when the networks give him infinite free coverage, lol.
Third parties have little recourse both because they don’t have the cash to throw around and because the two major parties just constantly put up barriers to entry, usually needing to exceed an arbitrary percentage of votes in the last election (an arbitrary percentage that the two parties increase whenever a third party gets close).
This country is basically just 100 capitalists in a trenchcoat making us all fight them and each other and people overseas over all the problems caused by the system that keeps them in power.

Sure, sure… But in return, we get to look down on unhoused people who are starving from manufactured hunger.
Also, that’s a giant fucking trench coat!
