    Sure does say something that 8 million people was able to stomach watching Faux News because the content was worth it for a brief moment.

    I am watching it now. I would never choose to watch Fox by choice other than the viral BS videos. She is doing well. He is talking over her, and it’s GREAT. Great from the perspective of poking them on their turf. She is holding her own. Is she who I would choose if I was a chooser? No. But you know…fascism…so…here we are.

      “Becket Adams is a columnist for National Review, the Washington Examiner, and the Hill. He is also the program director of the National Journalism Center.”

      Greasy smarmy conservative creep thinks Democrat didn’t do well, news at 11

      They do of course. If you’re in battle ground states they matter a TON, and they matter for everyone in local elections.

        In 2020, one state (Georgia) can make or break an election, but in 1963, and 1865, one nutjob with a gun can change the coarse of history all on his own…

        In the 2060s, I sure hope we have better measures in place…

            How many places does it not matter what you vote whether it be “rural red” or hardcore “big city blue”? Answer -a lot. Better answer -any is to fucking many.

              Far less than hundreds of thousands of towns and municipalities where local elections have pitiful turn outs most of the time and things are regularly decided by just a handful of votes of difference. 5 people could mean the difference between a far right fascist city council or school board and something sensible.

              Even in my fairly decently sized city, our school board was just 300 votes away from going full tilt book banning and transphobic.

              Just vote. It’s one day a YEAR, stop worrying about how many people are on your side and just do it. If nothing changes, then nothing changes but at least there exists the possibility of good change
