True words, John.

But again, I go back to the Dems. It is on them to educate and win that messaging war. In an alternate universe, if they weren't beholden to Wall Street, they could be fighting daily to help working people, Biden could sign 100 executive orders, and they could all be messaging on that to gain support and popularity.

Instead, they think people care about bipartisanship and constantly extend olive branches to a rogue Republican Party that will never work with them, leading to more perceived dysfunction. And they blame the voters for not liking them. Every appearance these days Obama is passively chastizing voters for not showing up in high enough numbers. It is on them to inspire confidence and trust.

You're right the media plays a massive role. But Dems are corrupt, delusional, and conescending to the very voters they need. Republicans are hellbent on burning down democracy but Democrats deserve 50% credit for providing all the freaking kindling.
