    Why shouldn’t we downvote horse-race bullshit that accomplishes nothing but to give credibility to and normalize a group that is no longer a legitimate political party, but is now a fascist criminal conspiracy/cult/terrorist organization instead?

    The correct reporting on this is “too many Americans still suffering mass delusion while traitor to the United States inexplicably remains out of jail.” This shit is not politics as usual!

      Because it is reporting reality as it is now. The reality is America is still polling a certain way. You see is as bad. Which allows you to take rhe actions and feel the feelings you are feeling.

      It’s a data point. A wise person once told me, news is news.

      I suggest treating it as data.

      Now I don’t like that climate change is happening and rapidly so. But I don’t also ignore or down vote the weather report because I don’t like it. It’s happening and I can take action or whatever else but it’s the weather.

      News is news.

      It’s okay to down vote opinion pieces (looking at you Murdoch media) but news is news.
