In reply to the discussion: It's now accepted that Trump will fuck with the election. [View all]ancianita
(43,314 posts)52. I've been bitching at them all morning: "stop problem flogging or get off the platform
if you don't have solutions," in so many words -- to WaPo, Medium, Wonkette, Robert Reich, Nick Hanauer, TomDispatch, the ACLU, Adam Schiff and Democratic leaders.
Example from a half hour ago:
WASHINGTON POST! TOM DISPATCH!
STOP NORMALIZING OUR PROBLEM. STOP IT.
SOLUTIONS. AMERICANS NEED SOLUTIONS. AWARENESS BUILDING TIME IS UP.
COME UP WITH ELECTION SOLUTIONS OR STOP FLOGGING THE ELECTION WITH TRIFLING, NIGGLING "OH NOES" FALSE ISSUES.
FOCUS ON ELECTION MACHINERY SOLUTIONS OR
GET THE FUCK OFF THE PLATFORM.
STOP NORMALIZING OUR PROBLEM. STOP IT.
SOLUTIONS. AMERICANS NEED SOLUTIONS. AWARENESS BUILDING TIME IS UP.
COME UP WITH ELECTION SOLUTIONS OR STOP FLOGGING THE ELECTION WITH TRIFLING, NIGGLING "OH NOES" FALSE ISSUES.
FOCUS ON ELECTION MACHINERY SOLUTIONS OR
GET THE FUCK OFF THE PLATFORM.
It's time for media to shift the conversation. Thousands of social media participants will demand the same will if we demand it first, or shut them up and block them.
I've no patience anymore for "awareness building" or normalizing problems or niggling over VP choices or speech or looks.
We either fight and beat the machinery that hacks the Democratic vote or we lose. The rest is just "concern" spectatorship.
Fuck all that. The vote machinery fight is on so we get a free and fair election.
Democrats need to get on with that fight.

Obviously you haven't been watching Ali Velshi, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell.

It's not about what I think. It's about the numbers. You should be worried about talk radio numbers.

165,041 dead as of today. And they never say it as if it's 'just a number' on MSNBC. Never.

How do you win an election when the media gives the opposition hours to spew lies free of charge

I wish some brave reporter would ask him why can't we have a free and fair election?

Watch Lawrence O'Donnell who rails at least once a week about how Trump "DOES NOT READ" and "LIES."

Exactly. That's who we look for and work with -- people who are doing what will stop it.
