32. Not sure

Sun Jan 19, 2025, 06:26 PM

Sunday

I am not sure what blame the media or don't blame the media means exactly.

Job one for us on the Left, including the politicians we support, is to prevent what is happeig right now - at all costs, whatever it takes. Nothing else matters. We have failed. We can blame the voters, or not, blame the media, or not, whatever.

We would have won if...

We would have won if it wasn't for the MSM.
We would have won if it wasn't for social media.
We would have won if it wasn't for AM radio.
We would have won if it wasn't for Citizens United.
We would have won if it wasn't for inflation.
We would have won if it wasn't for racism.
We would have won if it wasn't for misogyny.
We would have won if it wasn't for voters being stupid.
We would have won if it wasn't for the Supreme Court.

All of those obstacles were known ahead of time, and all of them took decades to develop to the point they are at now.

Overcoming those obstacles is the job. We failed.
