Naaah, there's no liberal/Rat party bias in the press.

I think it finally reached its breaking point with Trump. At a certain point pop culture just became unashamedly liberal and never looked back. Resentment is going to brew when 99% of major celebrities and TV shows push some socially liberal message without leaving any room for different perspectives.SFGbob said:
The media that really hurts Republicans I believe is the pop culture/Hollywood. It hurts them with low info, low engagement voters.

Fox kills CNN, MSNBC, etc in cable ratings. How many people watch the ABC, NBC and CBS nightly new anymore? Conservatives own talk radio. Trump has the 21st century twatter bully pulpit. If you're a right winger, it's very easy to get 100% of your news from conservative media. Same holds true if you're a lefty.
Shit, I can't remember the last concert I went to where the performer(s) was under the age of 40 and didn't find a way to work in some message about loving all sexual orientations, genders, etc, without even trying to hide the political undertone.
That's inevitably going to piss enough people off, and Trump captured that anger perfectly. Fuck rich assholes telling you what's right and how you're supposed to view the world. I'm going to tell them all to fuck off. -
Caught Jackson Browne's 2018 tour in Bend. Really a great performance but laced with revivalist fever on open borders and global warming. Dude is worth $50 million and his tour has a carbon footprint the size of a small town. Saw Lord Huron at the Portland Zoo amphitheater in July last summer. Unbelievable concert and not one damn word about illegals or CO2. He also ain't worth $50 million.

Heard the first Biden can pivot from free healthcare for illegals now that he's the nominee hot take tonight

95% of liberals don't follow the Progressive agenda.SFGbob said:
And with that comment you just elevated yourself about 95% of all other liberals.GreenRiverGatorz said:
"You are actively trying to end our Second Amendment right and take away our guns,"SFGbob said:
Biden, gets his facts wrong and lies about his stated position on assault weapons. Yeah, I can see why you loved it.GreenRiverGatorz said:Huh, this interaction makes me like Biden a lot more. Maybe there's something to this whole "decorum is overrated" movement.
For some reason I get the feeling you'd be swooning if Trump had told a liberal provocateur the same thing.
I don't see any statement from Biden that suggests that he's going to repeal the 2nd Amendment or otherwise confiscate guns that are currently owned by private citizens. Feel to free to point me in the right direction if he did in fact say that.
Edit: just saw the video above. I won't run away from this and I'll happily concede that point to you. Whether Biden has it as a platform item or not, he has in fact suggested that he could confiscate assault rifles from private citizens.

True liberals like me yes. That was a hundred years ago.

I'm concerned for what the snap-back on Trump might be. -
Saw Jackson Browne in 1981. Same schtick 39 years ago. Had an opening act of American Indians beating on drums and dancing around to a "Mother Earth" theme. Then out trotted two "save the whales" bull dyke minstrels telling us all how evil we were to not be like them. By the time JB mercifully showed up on stage I felt like I had given birth.WestlinnDuck said:Caught Jackson Browne's 2018 tour in Bend.

He has polluted the environment for 50 years at a high rate while making that $50 million. Probably 500 times what I have generated in pollution. What a fucking hypocrite. Another entitled, elitist liberal. If there is one thing the 60's generation has taught us, it is that it failed. -
And that is exactly what is going to happen. There will be a lot of pivoting and a lot of avoidance. The MSM is already doing what they can to make the Bernie supporters get on board. Last night it was like they were begging the bernie bro's to get on board to beat Trump. They will never make biden accountable for all this socialist pandering bullshit during the dem debates.RaceBannon said:Heard the first Biden can pivot from free healthcare for illegals now that he's the nominee hot take tonight

Props to Jackson Browne for banging prime Darryl Hannah. Respect.
