The press must get across to American citizens the crucial importance of this election and the dangers of a Trump win. They don’t need to surrender their journalistic independence to do so or be “in the tank” for Biden or anyone else.

It’s now clearer than ever that Trump, if elected, will use the federal government to go after his political rivals and critics, even deploying the military toward that end. His allies are hatching plans to invoke the Insurrection Act on day one.

    The DNC would have to accept that they need to nominate a truly progressive candidate

    I think they’d rather die.

      I agree. Centrist leaders will do anything for their overlord billionaires to fight the (real, actual) left. Look no farther than the lead up to Nazi Germany. It’s why the commies hate liberals (as in moderates, centrists, etc) so damn much.

        And unfortunately, that gives them power in undermining progressives.
