The Telecommunications Act of 1996 is one of the worst bills ever signed into law.

I especially love how these stations, along with Fox will make these assertions of how, “lights are on but no one’s home”, then follow it immediately with how he’s the mastermind behind political prosecutions, controlling the DoJ and executing a coordinated anti-republican regime.

Fascist societies rhetorically cast their enemies as “at the same time too strong and too weak”. On the one hand, fascists play up the power of certain disfavored elites to encourage in their followers a sense of grievance and humiliation. On the other hand, fascist leaders point to the decadence of those elites as proof of their ultimate feebleness in the face of an overwhelming popular will.

He is mentally unfit for office. Along with trump. They are both shot the fuck out and it’s a complete joke we are required to elect one or the other.

And it’s a joke that has been played on Americans since forever. There’s a way out of it, but it’s not easy, and you better bet your ass that BOTH parties will fight to keep the status quo. If you want change, you need to do the following things.

  1. Vote for Biden because if Trump wins, he has plans to take over.
  2. Push immediately after the election for Ranked Choice Voting.
  3. Unless and until 2 is achieved, get your guys and gals running as Democrats and vote for them in the Primaries, then vote for the Republican in the general. The GQP showed how well that works as Team Pepe is getting exactly what they want.

Oh for sure! Would be amazing if we had ranked choice, but sadly it will never happen. The deep state loves the 2 party system, they get to maintain control of both sides. Look at all these stupid fucks downvoting me too, pretending that Biden is actually a good candidate. They might even believe their own bullshit lol. Fucking losers, of course I’m voting for Biden I don’t want a shitbag wannabe dictator that trump is, but it’s insane if you think bidens a good choice. Dudes about to die, just like trump. Out of touch old fucking men with no skin in the game.

I down voted for the deep state comment and the general both sides nature of your comments.

If only we enforced anti-trust laws…

Back in the day wed split up monopolies with those laws.

DOJ went after Sinclair like 5 years ago, but it was about price fixing with other stations because they were colluding to raise ad prices for billion dollar corporations.

And they just had to pay a settlement.

It’s sucks the government acts to defend corporations but not people.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
