This debate is a prime example of how profoundly we are ill equipped to deal w/the rise of authoritarianism.
Letting blatant lies fly.
Doing nothing to follow up on lies & ignoring questions.
Normal rules don't apply.
We need to think--CLEARLY--about the best ways to clear the air & support truth.
We—they, actually—have had eight years to think about the rise of authoritarianism. If they can’t or won’t take it on here and now, they will never lift a finger. My only question is whether it’s fear, incompetence, or a cold assessment of self interest.
It’s a shitshow. For-profit media will be the reason dumass Americans will re-elect Trump. It’s the end of the American era. Where can I buy a good Chinese EV?
I HATE Joe Biden for not stepping down!!! I will vote for him, but HE alone has sacrificed our democracy just like Ruth Bader Ginsburg did because their own hubris.
@jaketapper.bsky.social You realize this is half your fault. You realize that, right? You already know this is how fascism rises, and you’re just gonna let it fly?
We all lost when CNN got the rights to it, and most of us should feel doubly stupid if we believed that dying network would actually implement the quality control safeguards they promised.
