Spot on - next Dem Pres shuts down the right-wing channels & restores Fairness doctrine to all media - including social media. I'd ban social media 6weeks before any election.

What do you think the Fairness Doctrine did that would address the failure of the press to report a particular issue? And by the way, there was a flurry of stories a couple of weeks ago. I will post a few below but please let's do discuss what the FD would fix about this. Here it is, if you want to

So the next Dem president should follow in Trump’s footsteps and continue trashing the Constitution?

Fight fire with fire, else you're just spectators.

So if the next Dem president is equally determined to burn the U.S. to the ground why should anyone vote for him/her?

The dial has been turned hard right, it needs a reset. When all the checks & balances - SCOTUS, free press, unbiased judiciary, congressional oversight - it requires firm action. We've all seen what this right-wing white supremacy leads to. Dems have brought a toothpick to a knife fight.

So you don’t mind a dictatorship as long as the dictator is on your side?

Franklin Roosevelt: "He may be a bastard, but he's our bastard."

Sorry - you may be willing to give up on democracy, but I think it is worth fighting for.

This particular crowd never does. They're authoritarians first, and allegedly left/progressive a distant second.

So what the fuck are you? A "moderate"?

I agree. People having a "one issue" that decides who people vote for is wacko. No October surprises, either. Civics courses MUST be mandated when things are rebuilt from this nightmare.

That is actually a smart idea!👏👏

Bill Maher had a frighteningly good point though, that if he 🍊keeps up this military presence building or even martial law, even the democrats win the election, this regime is not going to give up power easily. Hacking so many Republican politicians be so damn complicit?

Yes. I know. Like Russia, Hungary and Belarus.

Once the army tastes power they v rarely step back quietly. Witness Pakistan, the army run their own hospitals, residential compunds, even sugar mills and any Govt is at their behest. We have let social media & billionaires become the Kingmakers. Time to burn it all down. Break all monopolies.

Trump recently said he is identifying "loyal NG" and only sending those to blue states. This is a two-sided sword. Now we also know who the patriots are... those who weren't sent. The ones who went need to be removed from service.

If you let the martial power genie out of the bottle, the only way to return it is through a national armed conflict.

With so many guns in the US a civil war would be devastating

It's your choice. We are not being given any alternative. bsky.app/profile/ghos...

2018 Steve Bannon went to live in Europe. He was butt hurt at the time. We know he and DRUMPF have made up. Both of them said in 2014 that the US needed to be burned down. So we start all over Bannon has The Movement, his far right org. Could they have been coming here on visas the last few years?

I have no doubt that will happen. In their idiotic attempts to "make peace" Biden and the DNC have guaranteed there will be a civil war. I just hope the left is smart when it happens. We only get one chance at this.
