    Anyone who believes the NYT is the liberal media is a fool. The NYT is part of the enemy. It is the newspaper of the class which has immiserated the rest of the country: mine. I grew up reading it and I know how its readership thinks. Their slanting of the political news is exactly on point. They are the stenographer of the ruling class. They are the Voice of the Co-opted.

      Hell, to your point, https://www.axios.com/local/atlanta/...und-the-police

      But that certainly hasn't stopped the breathless media coverage, and I'm not even talking about the right wing nonsensesphere.
      That is my whole point the Dems are the ones trying to fund policing yet the media is all over the place saying they want to defund it. There is zero pushback when they are confronted about it or when the GOP lies about it to their face. I get the GOP lying but the Fourth Estate is supposed to be the ones giving us facts, not tacitly (or openly) pushing false narratives so as not to upset their corporate masters. That is why they accused a rape victim of lying about having to travel for an abortion and why now none of the harrowing stories we see and hear every day of the struggle women have are even on the news anymore. (and will likely be off Twitter too which is where most are telling their story)

      Look I have spent most of my 42 years ripping the Dems for their messaging, this election is not one I would do it with. They talk about everything they accomplished, they paint the GOP with the abortion stuff and have stayed out of the culture war nonsense. If people aren't listening and if the media is just ignoring it there just isn't anything they can do about that. If people are so dumb that they applaud GOPers who vote against everything they need then I am not sure what anyone expects the Dems to do. If a bunch of old Boomers are gonna vote to lower their taxes (which wont lower their taxes in any significant way) and then watch as their Social Security is taken away there is just no way to fight that kind of stupid. Same with women. If they would rather fall for lies about crime (crime is as bad or worse in Red States than Blue but hey facts don't matter) and sit back and watch as their body autonomy is taken away how do you combat that? Half this country wants to be lied to and doesn't care how it hurts them because tomorrow doesn't matter only right now.

        Yeah any last vestige they had of being even a "centrist" like voice died in 2016. Trump had been in bed with them for years and obviously MAGA Haberman is a major Trump ally so yeah.

          • I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Democrats would be so ****ed right now if Republicans had selected normal politicians in the primaries, rather than ****ing batsh-t insane morons. That we even have a chance is astonishing, given the history of midterms. Roe v. Wade may still be our 9/11- but instead of losing 50 House seats and 3 Senate seats, our 9/11 will be losing 15 House seats and keeping the 50-50 Senate. It’s terrifying that the overturning of Roe v. Wade may only be good enough for that. I need some more positivity.

                If things go the way they're talking on the telly right now it appears no one really ****ing cared about Roe Vs. Wade at all.

                    Yes, I have. It's literally giving me hope while every news report I see drags me down.

                          • My one post in this thread, and I just want to rant a little- I'm not going to come back and read the replies...

                            We are doomed. Why? Because some long time republicans are incredibly non-self aware of their own party. How is it that conservatives don't know how the previous president held vlad in such high regard so much that he ignored our own intelligence system? None of that was denied by faux news- they basically doubled down on the belief.

                            Seriously- they are confused that people in their own party are trying to be against the support of Ukraine in the war. They really think it's being contrarian- as if that's a better excuse.

                            People have no idea what is going on in their own party that is incredibly damaging to this country.
