    I don’t disagree, but the GOP and Trump have not been the voice of the working class. The fact that enough people have been convinced that they are, is just sad.

    This election was also about women issues, and that fell on deaf ears.

    The media has a lot of responsibility for this shit show.

      but fairness!! S/

      the press are either cowards or love the money the drama of trump brings

      in the meantime the independent voices in the media are getting shut down

      just look at the drama of trying to bring this sub on lemmy under “control”

        Yeah the whole ‘fairness’ thing is a load of crap. With the election one side (generally the leftish leaning one) has to be perfect and spotless, meanwhile the other side might a slap on the wrist over something terrible.

        One reason I love the ABC and SBS here. The only reason they appear to lean ‘left’ is because they report facts and don’t favour either party, generally. It’s just one side of politics tends to be shittier than the other.
