In regards to the press and billionaires, it appears autocracy came early.
Our primary votes are being denied. A handful of self-important people have decided what Americans want.
The press, who was unable to get traction with “Biden is old” in 2020 has now a receptive audience.
The ignorati have followed along, incapable or unwilling to accept that replacing Biden guarantees a Republican win.
The rich and the media have decided we are incapable of making decisions. They know best.

The reality TODAY is there has been little to NO DISCUSSION about policies. Yes, more people are working than in 50 years. Yes, wages are up. Yes, inflation is down. Yes, the Biden Administration has been incredibly successful.
Those things don’t matter, declares the Press and a handful of Actors and
Politicians. The only way to save democracy is to ignore the will of the people!
I don’t recall anyone but Biden when I voted in the primary. Do they not count?

Jon Stewart says Biden should step down to save democracy. It’s funny, no one elected Stewart to make decisions about our country.
I guess his large megaphone which influences votes is more important?
He also is more concerned about Biden’s age than policies or Biden’s record.
Because of course he is.
The problem (no pun, I sorta promise), is that he is part of the plutocracy, whether he wants to admit it or not (mostly not — he is under illusion he is not part of the 1%)

And the allegedly “smart” politicians who are quick to throw Biden under the bus?
Is this country BETTER than it was four years ago?
Yes.
But they want to throw those policies under the bus as well?
What the fuck?
It’s amazing how quick BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE want to take away my primary vote.
We the people don’t decide elections… the self-important assholes do.
We remain ignorant chattel in their minds.
This is a problem.

I’m here to ask how did it reach this point? Why are people allowing this kind of manipulation?
The answer lies, in my humble opinion, on the need to be right.
There were many on the left and right that argued a Biden win GUARANTEES another Great Depression. That didn’t happen.
Or HIS AGE HIS AGE and HE IS OUT OF TOUCH and that blew up in their face.
Policies have always mattered more than anything else. You can argue a lot of things, but Biden made us a better country.

Let’s face it, voting Biden in has a VERY REAL chance of a Democratic trifecta. You know who has the most to fear from this?
The rich. The 1%. Those with a lot of money. Like the owners of the NYT and WaPo.
The MSM.
I’m not arguing a conspiracy, far from it. This is as old as history itself. The rich want to control — “You are either with us or against us” is an old, very old, dog whistle.
Left out of this convo is the Biden Policies.
As if they don’t exist.
@feloneouscat Boom - this is the crux of the biscuit: the oligarchs are trying to use the remains of the press, now in their sweaty hands, to take control by convincing us to do it to ourselves.
