       These toxic as hell overpaid political consultants who have given democracy in the US so many losses over the past few decades keep insisting Dems move to some imaginary middle. Never mind that clear majorities -majorities, not pluralities- of ALL US people want STANDARD PROGRESSIVE policies like universal healthcare (about 60%), a living minimum wage (80+%), better climate change legislation , tougher laws against corruption, clean air and water (etc etc)This has been true for years.

       yet corporate entities that largely control what is considered  mainstream "news" never seem to frame it - that- way.It's obvious to millions of us. But it's not to millions more.To varying degrees those millions ARE content to watch whatever (carefully marketed) swill is served up to them. I'm not talking RWNJs, I'm talking about "minimally engaged" types who remain impressively unaware of how they are being manipulated, used, lied to etc. Folks who typically -don't- analyze stuff.

       @cjpaloma Bigger problem: the news is a business, and it pitches what its audience wants.Now consider that most news oulets lean Left...

       they exist in greater numbers than would be ideal, partially because they are busy struggling to make ends meet and just keeping their heads above water. But if men -especially- are encouraged to become more compassionate, caring, and emotionally self aware, donny and his toxic brigade of abusive folks WOULD BE far less appealing.This is a basic observation, but it works. The RWNJs have been relentlessly PUSHING toxic visions of masculinity on these guys, Push back with healthier stuff.
