We narrowly lost this election because the media dishonestly destroyed Biden and spent the entire election dishonestly normalizing Trump. Don’t let that same media turn around and tell you we lost because there’s something wrong with the Democratic Party. There’s something wrong with the media.

That’s true but 90% of that is Fox and Fox aligned publications. CNN and others did every now and then put some ‘both sides’ coverage on the air, but not even close when you look at the size of audience they serve. There is no fixing what Fox has done to America…

Vefy much agree. But the Democratic leadership also cut him off at the knees. In our patriarchal society we may have won with Biden. Biden beat him once. And, "he" tRump, beat a woman once before...what could go wrong? 🚬😎

White people elected Trump. White people are hot 🔥 stove voters. White people have so many blessings in this country and far too many of us are too lazy to engage in just a tad bit of independent reading and critical thinking I am a white people. It's us, we are the problem . We need to fix our own

This was my impression. Were they hedging their bets in case Trump won. Who knows? But there was obviously a need to make Trump look like a normal human being when he is obviously not.

End Citizens United. Democracy of the people, by the people & for the people can not compete with billionaires! Blue influencers, red influencers, combined. America really elected Elon.😬

Agree.. me thinks it’s the billionaire owners who want us oppressed..I sure wish that a couple ex wives would use their wealth to bring truth to power.. and bring integrity back to journalism

We have: Corporate paid media: msnbc, CNN, abc Corporate propaganda: fox, news max, others AND Real media: Meidas news, BTC, David Packman, Occupy Democratic, Adam Mockler and many other progressive sources.

There is absolutely something wrong with the democratic party. -Liz and Dick Cheney -Bill Clinton -"We WILL have a republican in the cabinet" -Support for genocide -Spending millions on performing artist elites -The disconnect from the majority of Americans who are poor and struggling.

Yes and no. US media is mostly another corporate machine designed to profit. They do that by entertaining and generating fears. Real news is read or on PBS and other solid sources. But, Dems stayed home/didn’t vote. Look up the numbers that showed Trump got fewer votes than in 2020. Our shame.

Yes, if you buy snake oil from a salesman- both the salesman and the buyer are to blame. But also, Team Trump taking all the headlines right now with rage bait, is a purposeful tactic, to make the last 4 years, and Biden's accomplishment NOT EXIST AT ALL.

There was no landslide and no overwhelming mandate. I’m fed up reading about how Kamala should have done this or the DNC should have done that. It was a great campaign and, as she said, she was always the underdog

The issue I see with the Democratic Party is trying to be all things to all people. Stop trying to figure out what’s important to this demographic or that demographic. Chances are they don’t all want the same things. Good policies for the poor and middle class will benefit everyone, even the rich.

Exactly. The media is to blame for normalizing and sane-washing Trump’s insanity. The guy is a convicted felon but never heard ‘lock him up. Stolen documents in his sleazy hotel bathroom just one disqualification among hundreds.

I agree. Especially when you have a good portion of the nation watching Fox who never lets their audience hear the other side except to ridicule & spout misinformation.Yet it’s Trump all day, every day. They’re the equivalent of fanboys/girls.He truly is the emperor’s new clothes & so are they!

Media impact is huge, but the pile of money from Oligarchs to Trump was at least as impactful, I'd say. Every day on FB I'm inundated with fake people and communities spewing misdirecting memes and hate. Somebody is paying for this.

People were more worried about the economy and gas prices and the price of eggs for some dumb reason so this is what we get again for the next 4 years because they liked trumps economy better my wife and I really don't get it these newer people are in for a big let down get ready

We don’t really have to do anything. The GOP will teach them a lesson over the next four years NO ONE will EVER forget. Unfortunately we all have to live the lesson along with them even though we knew better.

We lost the election by a strong margin because Biden’s cognitive decline couldn’t be covered up by the media much longer and Kamala was robotic af and couldn’t distance herself from Biden. If Biden refused to run a second term we would’ve seen a much different election.

It was NOT the MSM. The majority of Gen Z voters that went overwhelmingly for Trump DO NOT WATCH THE TRADITIONAL MSM. Even if the MSM were totally honest it would NOT have mattered if it was Biden or Harris. Gaza also cost Harris a lot and would have regardless of which side she went on.

Sorry, but disagree. Objectively, here in GA for example, Trump's tv ads were MUCH more effective than Harris' in addressing the economy and immigration. The DNC and democratic PACs strategy, as tv ads is concerned, was awful. Interested in other swing state observers weighing in...

Or, and stay with me, the democrats offered nothing to the average voter. Just continuation of the status quo. Blaming the media goes only so far. Policies matter. Alienating your left wing base has consequences. Foreign wars are unpopular.

This seems a good time/place to point out that it's possible to stay informed without watching any tv at all! I gave up television over 20 years ago & don't miss it at all. I can see highlights and read articles online. That's enough to keep me well informed. Try it for a week and see if I'm right

Lying and gaslighting about the mental acuity of a sitting president and then handpicking a successor from above in a very non-democratic process while arbitrarily changing the rules to allow that is a huge problem with the Democratic Party. It already happened with Wasserman Schulz and Bernie

All of this is true up to a point. There actually is something wrong with the Democratic Party. The same corporations which control the Republican party are in bed with the Dems. Let’s be honest.

The media spends a lot of time gaslighting folks who have a problem with them. Morning Joe states “in the real world” it would be ok for him to apologize for all the shit he gave trump in return for any access? One world folks and yes it’s real they are cowards and greedy AF!

No lies told here. Media needs updating. How about a media group that is owned by non-right wing board members within print and broadcasting. Plenty of left and center-left members who can help invest.

And a shockingly embarrassing percentage of the electorate refusing to use ANY critical thinking skills. Their lack of care to fill in a bubble that could have exponentially helped their lives is astounding.

And there were other factors - the war on Gaza hurt us especially the 18-39 demo. But I also do believe that in certain states (mainly red), state and county Dems, and the DCCC in part, failed to recruit candidates and gifted them to the GOP. So there is something wrong on that particular part.

there is plenty wrong with the party and the sooner we face that the better look at Fetterman backing 45s appointees and the "Squad" going anti party because they would rather spread terrorist lies. Yep PLENTY if we don't face it we will repeat it
