The Democratic has done an OK job on this & definitely needs to do some more & u r the sort of person who could make it so.
The way to do it though is definitely not by aligning with saboteurs like Glen Greenwald.
Trumps handing out parsons you should write a nice piece ab how handsome and charming he is (don’t forget huge hands) and he will probably pardon you lol. We need candid journalists like you
Both parties have advocated and enacted neoliberal economic policies and neoconservative foreign policies, which have screwed over the majority of Americans. #eliteshavenoskininthegame

The emergence of a Trump has its source in capitalism. In that way the cause is systemic. To suggest injustice or "whatever your haveing" is the cause is to attribute cause to the symptoms. But justice etc. are mere abstractions that dont mean much --ideological constructs.

Well that and a US Press that allows it's coverage to be determined by politicians.
IMHO: That's a predictable result from receiving billions in political ad dollars.
