“The FCC chair is clearly undertaking an effort to bully and intimidate independent journalism, which is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes where democracy is under siege,” said one critic.

    And I’m telling you, yet again, non-voters are in no way culpable. It was Biden’s job, and then Kamala’s job to gain voters. And they both did so terrible we ended up with Trump again. And again, if you think voting will save the US from fascism you’re incredibly naive.

    Also, it was never irrelevant. Again, the Supreme Court gave Biden immense power through their official acts ruling. He did absolutely nothing with it. He could have thrown Trump in prison and said tough shit. But he didn’t, and now we have Trump again.

      I guess you’re one of the culpable morons who didn’t vote.

      Again, both Biden and the voters are responsible for Trump being in power. Stop trying to pretend that not voting was some noble action. It wasn’t. It directly led to trump being the president.

      Also, the democrats running a bad campaign is a monumentally stupid excuse for ushering in fascism.

        It was objectively noble, it didn’t support genocide. Meanwhile democrats did nothing to stop fascism or genocide and I’m supposed to blame non-voters for this? You all think voting would magically save us. As if it wouldn’t just be another 4 years before the next “biggest election of our lifetimes.”

        Also, just like where you’re placing your blame, your assumption is wrong.

      You are supremely ignorant as to how the us government functions.

      Do you think the conservative controlled government would have declared biden throwing trump in prison an official act?

      Disingenuous fuck.

        Conservatives wouldn’t let Trump be put rightfully in prison according to you. And I’m supposed to believe voting actually does anything?

        You’re incredibly naive and ignorant
