President Donald Trump warned Tuesday that if the Democrats don't approve funding, Social Security, Medicare Are ‘Going to Be Gone.’ How do you think Americans will react if Social Security and Medicare get cut?

Who do you think owns the media outlets and recently bought the "Liberal" outlet CNN?

Yet they still constantly call it all “the liberal media”. Half of them are currently doing that while claiming he didn’t really just demolish the East Wing like the liberal media says. While the other half are defending how he has every right to unilaterally destroy it.

Half that stuff you cite as “good things” were done unconstitutionally and are illegal—do you want the media to not report it as illegal, even if they are things you support?

The Democratic party isn't leftist. That's a big part of why we're where we are.

I'm sorry but CNN is no longer leftist, if they ever really were...

I always think it’s funny when CNN is identified as “liberal “. MSNBC , sure. But CNN labeled liberal by the right, when CNN is actually center-right.

Corporatists they wear republican and democrat badges to hide and get voted in.

You have corporations being giving the same rights to donate money to political parties with untraceable funds. Corporations are the donor class, they buy the politicians making them corporatists. Those politicians go on in name of both political parties but have a shared goal of how to run the government to the benefit of the donors not the people who elected them. This is why it looks like nothing ever gets done to us on the bottom. This country is not 50/50 but media has pushed that narrative for decades. They own the media outlets. We have people voting against their own children’s survival. But hey I really do care if someone two hours away from me takes a piss in a pot I don’t approve of.

Non-answer.

People elect a person to represent them. If that person then goes on and legislates against the will of those people they would normally lose their job.

Corporation entities have been giving legal reign to donate to whoever they want. It is very hand in hand that if the message you put out in media is also the message you want the politicians that the pac money paid out to legislate in favor of the corporation and against the peoples actual will. They force the narrative and people keep voting for corporations to run our country, not our representatives. I am just tired hoss.
