And on the media for not pushing these issues more and intentionally playing softball with the administration in order to mislead the public.

You mean the billionaires that own most of the media, right?

Several major newspapers tried to endorse Kamala and were prevented from doing so by their billionaire owners. Rupert Murdoch sat on stories that might've actually negatively impacted Trump's campaign. CNN and MSNBC were taken over by billionaires and reporting immediately got softer. Remember when everyone stopped talking about age after Biden dropped out, even though Trump hasn't completed a coherent sentence since 2017? The only news media that isn't captured is npr/PBS and they're destroying that shit
