It’s almost as if corporate media is biased towards corporations over workers 🤔
This is why the right (and the Enlightened Centrists ™ ) get so flummoxed if you ask them just where IS this supposed “liberal media” I hear so much about?
It definitely is not ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, PBS…

Yeah, it is. Liberal ≠ Left wing
Neoliberalism (which is the kind of liberalism practiced in the US) is a center right to right wing ideology.
Just because something is to the left of literal fascism doesn’t mean it’s left of center.
I always recommend this 4 part philosophytube series on liberalism as a good starting point for liberals to understand their own ideology and how it enables fascism:
Neoliberals are rich and/or influential in higher echelon.
There are regular liberals. Who are definately left to far left of center. We’re just more neutral to the economic system and more into preserving human rights.
get used to it, it’s only going to get worse from here on out, as if that seems impossible, it isn’t. now that trump has been re-elected, there’s no surprise this time around, and after he was rightly targeted in criminal probes these last 4 years, he’s going to take the gloves off, and come for owners, producers, and journalists of anything he deems disloyal. what we thought we were sure of about the united states and how it should operate is quickly coming to an end. this is what fascism means.
A depressing take that I 100% share but wish I didn’t.
The only way I’m going to be able to deal with this bullshit is to tune out or numb myself to it in some way

Yup.
Ignorance is bliss.
The next 4 years minimum are going to be a non-stop onslaught of depressing and outright embarrassing headlines. I plan on cutting all news pipelines out of my feeds at the end of this calendar year.
Yup.
Fools think there’s a magical reset button ever 4-8 years if we regret our decisions.
I implore those fools to pick up a history book and find out why that isn’t a guarantee. But we know they never will.
By the end of whatever this is workers in America will have less power and our institutions will be weakened, if not destroyed.
Americans are about to find out what actual suffering is.
protip: no matter where you live, you’re about to find out too. no fault of your own, completely our fault, but it’s coming sure as night follows day. the inter-connectivity of the worlds only western superpower is about to be made abundantly clear to everyone thinking this is only an American problem.
I guess genocide joe let this leopard judge chill out for 4 years without doing anything but eat ice cream cones. Let me guess - he couldn’t do anything about it.
Pretty much, once judges are installed, the only way to remove them is through impeachment and that’s not a process the Executive is involved in.

“Only Congress has the authority to remove an Article III judge. This is done through a vote of impeachment by the House and a trial and conviction by the Senate. As of September 2017, only 15 federal judges have been impeached, and only eight have been convicted. Three others resigned before completion of impeachment proceedings.”
List here:

Most recent impeachment:
“G. Thomas Porteous, Jr., U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives, March 11, 2010, on charges of accepting bribes and making false statements under penalty of perjury; Convicted by the U.S. Senate and removed from office, December 8, 2010.”
Died 11 years later:
Remember the right-wing frenzy over “Rich Men North of Richmond”?
Oliver Anthony almost immediately clarified that Trump and Republicans were *also" the people he was talking about…
This is the danger of Dems moving “to the right”. They’re doing it on topics that lots of rural voters already hate that Republicans do.
The only people happy with the Dems move to the right is wealthy donors. It doesn’t gain any ground with voters, just normalizes the shitty stuff republicans do and gives more credence to one of the most common reasons eligible voters don’t vote:
Who am I supposed to vote for? The Republican who’s blasting me in the ass or the Democrat who’s blasting me in the ass?
But…the price of eggs!
I thought everything donvict did was for the little guy!
