The Dems do not have any power. They were cut off at the knees in Nov 2016. The media (not just Fox) are corp owned. Guess which side the corp owned media is on? All hands are on deck, which is being expressed all over the internet. Yes, I'm well aware of the net neutrality issue, but the FCC is majority repub. They can do what they want!!!!

So until the Dems win elections, they don't have the power you seem to think they do. Put your efforts into beating the crap out of the repubs. Attacking the Dems makes it seem like they have the power you want them to have. Yes we need to push the Dems and let them know what we think, but for the most part they are on my side of the issues. They just need to be in charge which is why I do all I can so they will win in November 2018.
