    Even if you say CNN is, they are still not bigger than Fox. It's also still ignoring the massive right wing shift that's on social media right now.

    My point is the GOP has no problem getting their message out. It's not like this small rebel gang running on rogue pirated radios. They are as mainstream as the Democrats.

    No legacy media outlet is bigger then Fox... nobody is making that claim. That's the one big conservative legacy media outlet. Their viewship is not split amongst any other outlets. That's the biggest reason they are so big. Conservatives concentrate there.

    The claim is the vast majority of outlets and people working in journalism are leftists. It's been that way for decades. Nobody really disputes that... except you I guess.

    Mail-in ballots take longer to process. It is a little crazy that our federal elections vary state to state and even sometimes county to county.

    Yeah I do, because I'm not sure what qualifies as being liberal here. Sounds like if you criticize Trump too hard, that makes you a liberal journalist and not just a 'journalist'. If you talk to liberals, they hate all these same networks and don't see them on their side.

    You also keep ignoring that a site like twitter is a massive right wing propaganda machine. Where someone can sign up for sports and video games AND STILL get right wing propaganda on their feed.

    I find this "what are her policies" concern trolling to be a little rich whenever I don't think Trump or anyone who supports him could tell you wtf he plans to do about anything meaningful.

    Yep.

    If Democrats want to move on and move forward there must be admitting that there were issues with her campaign.

    She got blown out. She ran worse than Biden, worse than Hillary.

    It's like your team going 0-9 and going "The Quaterback is playing fine, there are no issues!"

    Leftist social media is not as pervasive or popular as right media.

    You have twitter for example etc.

    There are plenty of liberal outlets as well.

    The point being that it isn't a one-horse town in 2024.

    The duopoly is not engineered. It's an emergent property of first past the post elections. If you want to get rid of the duopoly, you need to have some kind of ranked voting first.

    It is very much engineered, as in, there was never going to be any other outcome given the rules as written.

    Engineered does not mean conciousnessly created btw, but it's absolutely pre-determined and not a spontaneous or abnormal result.
