In an alternative reality, in which mainstream media, provided a real service, this *scandal*, would be all over the news.
Instead, we live with a two party duopoly - masquerading as democracy - with a bought and paid for corporate media.

Excellent thread by @editorialboard.bsky.social well worth a read.
1. At this point, I think it needs to be said that there’s a great big feeling among liberals and Democrats, and I would suggest especially *affluent white* liberals and Democrats, that liberal democracy isn’t really dead.

The culture war is the grift imo.
Defending Sarah McBride is absolutely the right thing to do, and yet there’s also the risk of being baited into yet another culture war cycle that distracts from the Republican grift. Her statement suggests she wants to move forward, and I think it’s wise to take the cue from her.
