to know what's going on with American politics. If I can find out by googling and watching YouTube videos, why don't Americans who LIVE there seem to know? I don't get it. I see these posts asking why Democrats didn't do this or haven't done that, and wonder what the point is. That the MSM isn't telling them? Since when have the MSM been fair with liberals, been interested in anything but profits? Whenever I see ABC's Nightline and a program full of pop stars and reality TV, I feel bad for Ted Koppel.

People these days have computer machines and cable TV. I know what Democrats stand for without slogans and don't understand why other people don't. It makes me feel cranky.
