Trump's latest idea has renewed Democratic criticism of pro-Palestinian activists who encouraged voters not to back Biden or Harris in the presidential election.
I am saying that when you apply the exact thing you just said to the Democrats, I agree with it completely.
I’m saying that with the Green Party, it apparently becomes important that the media presents the case accurately, which they’re currently not doing, which is terrible journalistic malpractice. That’s the first time I’ve heard that statement from anyone but myself in this conversation. I agree with it of course, for both the Democrats and the Greens, but it sounds like some people here are applying it only to the Green Party, and apparently staying silent on the media’s absolute betrayal of the American people by not making it clear what was at stake in this past election.
I’m not trying to absolve the Democrats of their complicity (either as regards war crimes in Gaza or as regards an overblown and mostly useless campaign apparatus). I’m just saying, like I keep saying, that blame can be shared. The media shit the bed letting people know how much worse Trump was, and the Democrats being flamingly bad in some areas doesn’t change that, because Trump was objectively worse even than the low standard the Democrats set, by miles and miles. It seems like every time I talk to a certain population of people, it’s entirely the Democrats’ fault that they did bad, not just partially their fault, and I am very interested to observe that the media has now suddenly popped into the equation, now that I framed the question as being about the Greens, instead of the Democrats.
what does this edit mean?
