      Because the other billionaires who own the media really really really want to avoid progressives accomplishing anything.

      So now that neoliberals are out of control of the DNC, the media isn’t going to have many good things to say about the DNC.

      I’d say that’s obviously, but holy shit some days I feel like I’m explaining it to the same 12 people who just can’t fucking grasp that billionaire owned media favors billionaires.

      Like, could you imagine someone falling for that dumb shit and getting mad at anyone other than the fucking Nazi in your gif and the media system defending fascism

      That’s partly because unlike Democrats, he’s actually speaking out and taking a contrarian stance on topics.

      When he thought he could work with Trump, he went all-in. Now that he realizes that two narcissists will always have conflicting goals, he’s all-in on fighting Trump.

      The Democrats, on the other hand, have mostly spent this time saying “let’s discuss working together to come to an agreeable compromise” while doing not much that’s actually useful one way or the other.

      Elon may be politically inept and only looking out for his own interests, but he does know how to grab the public’s attention and how to force people to act.

        Find me the quotes where Democrats say let’s come to an agreeable compromise and I’ll match them with Democrat quotes actually speaking out and taking a contrarian stance on topics. Heck I’ll triple them.

        The issue is that corporate news sewers do not care about the public’s interest or a healthy government. They care about money, and Elmo stories generate money.

        That’s why the Democrats have to start lighting some shit on fire.
