The public doesn’t understand the risks of a Trump victory. That’s the media’s fault | Margaret Sullivan

With democracy in the balance, the press must relay the crucial importance of this election and the dangers of a Trump win

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.

      I don’t even know what point you’re trying to make, other than that you are very angry and want to blame someone for that. Hopefully channel that anger into something productive, like pressing your representatives to support better candidates. And actually voting for the better candidate instead of sitting back and helping the greater of two evils win.

        This tracks. It didnt come out of the mouth of your party leader, so you dont even try to understand it. We get it.

      I think what rubs me the most about these morons is how high and mighty they fancy themselves as they support evil.

      And they are so delusional that they dont refute it anymore, it is just a never ending circle of this:

      “I am the good guy, I am voting for the lesser evil”.

      But you just said you are voting for evil.

      “Yes, but its the LESSER evil.”

      So you are claiming to be good by supporting evil.

      “Yes, the LESSER evil.”

      You realize that doesnt mean you are good. That means you are LESSER EVIL. I wont be lesser evil. I wont be any evil. Stop being evil and trying to bully me into being evil.

      “No, I’m good, because I vote for LESSER evil. You are the one that is bad, you wont vote for evil.”

      So not voting for evil makes me bad and voting for evil makes you good?

      “THE LESSER EVIL.”

      Rolls eyes

      They are conditioned sociopaths that have lost the difference between right and wrong decades ago but keep running their mouths and supporting monsters.
