30. Not gonna work. Democracy Now! has no place here.
Thu Jun 13, 2024, 05:44 PM
Jun 2024

It shilled for third party candidates against Democrats in 2000 and 2016.

Truth is that the stars of the shows on the Democracy Now! Youtube channel need to take responsibility and apologize for helping both Bush and Trump to win. Yes, Amy Goodman got rich, but look at all the harm she helped usher in:

- the Iraq War
- the Roberts Court
- the Alito appointment
- the Citizens United Decision
- the end of Roe
- the family separation policy
- unnecessary deaths from covid due to misinformation
- a conservative Supreme Court for the next generation

Democracy Now! amplified Tara Reade's claims in 2020, doing its best to ensure that Trump got a second term, and it currently platforms pro-terrorist propagandists and Vote Uncommitted chaos agents. Yes indeed, Democracy Now is once again doing its best to elect the Republican.

"Amy Goodman won a prize in 2009. She shares that prize with Glem Greenwald. She also got very rich. She has strategy sessions with Neville Roy Singham."


Democracy Now! is garbage. As for Amy Goodman, I don't know how she sleeps at night.
