Et tu MSNBC?

whatever stokes the fear and ignorance and racism among the base seems to work just fine for them

than to truth and hope

Some of the anchors may share views similar to my own, but the bottom line is that it's all Bullshit.

I'm finally accepting of the Shithole country that we are, and don't need the media to point it out to me on an hourly basis, and then NOTHING changes.

There's lots of thorough and thoughtful analysis on MSNBC @ night, Rachel and Lawrence shows this evening in particular very informed.

if Democrats really had a unifying message— whatever the heck that is and who says we don’t have one?

But you are right, GOPers unify around hate, terror, etc.

Because MSNBC should know more than anyone that the Democratic message is always the same and it's what you have in your post watermark/stamp: Civil rights, civil liberties, social justice, stewardship of the planet. If MSNBC serves as home to Rachel, Symone, Lawrence et al, then they should lead with the objective fact that the Democratic message has always been the same.

Right-wing attacks on Democrats: big government overreach, tax & spend, socialism. Attacks from elsewhere: shadowy Democratic "establishment" ignoring the working class, "identity politics," not being socialists.

So everybody knows Democrats are the government party, for equality, health care, social safety net, civil rights. Republicans are the anti-government party (until it comes to taking away rights from anyone who is probably a Democrat). That's why people get so mad when Democrats are in office. Carter/Clinton/Obama/Biden: why didn't they fix everything immediately? They're the government! Only Democrats are blamed. Suddenly the federal government is expected to fix everything everywhere in a very large country with state governments and Democrats are mocked as losers for trying to help people by trying to make government work.

But somehow the Democratic message is a big mystery.

They lost due to not doing anything with their majority or voters had that perception.

They have no policy, nobody expected anything. Republican voters don't vote for policy or getting anything done.

are republicans and see how your criticisms change. Or vice versa.
