The Republican Party is dead. Only the corporate media can prop up the rotting corpse.

Did we not all, including all scribes, just now bear witness to just that? Did we not all smell the rot?

Does the mass media know this former party has no political platform? Who does that? It’s not a political party if there is nothing the assembled like minded agrees on except to hail Dear Leader. That’s more a cult.

The Democratic Party platform was painstakingly put together to form a cohesive omnibus contract being offered to the people. That’s a Party.

The former Republican Party literally offers nothing. Zilch, nada. You can’t take their platform out on any policy waters, it doesn’t exist.

The mass/corporate media should focus on how the other side only offers a dead agenda, based on a non exist not political party platform, and a laundry list of non-existent grievances.

It’s like his former Party has turned into Twitter wanting to rule the world by tweets and fantasy theories, not science theories.

The Republican Party is dead, only the corporate media is holding up the corpse.

Why?

Money and power are more important than climate change, minimum wage laws.

Looking ahead to the next election. Looking for appearances, photo ops, sound bites, sports, sports, mass shooting, Susan Collins.

of duty to protect democracy. I thought the press and the people had a deal? I really did, and still so….freedom of the press, you protect the Republica fragile democracy. All democracies are fragile, duh.

Instead the mass media is protecting fascism and deriding a a Party and Party policies that literally have “democratic” written all over it.

Deal is off!

The rest of it is just 'bread and circuses'. Something to keep the masses entertained, having no substance or worth.
