no one reads the articles. all of the quotes assume this is because the party is broke because of (spins wheel) whatever that person is mad about today, but the reason they’re scrambling is because they’re trying to run moonshot campaigns in deep red districts they ordinarily would never attempt

Quick story. My op-ed on how corporations that kept their DEI programs performed just as well financially was accepted & factchecked at TIME Magazine. Just needed "pro forma review by the legal department." Suddenly the piece is spiked Why? Benioff owns TIME and wants to ingratiate himself to Trump

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)
