Journalism fails miserably at explaining what is really happening to America

Will Bunch expresses what I've been thinking since Trump was elected. American democracy is under attack from within. The fascists who yearn for an authoritarian government in the media are promoting it, and the media who supposedly don't support it fail to recognize it. They are busy trying to follow the political playbook of the 20th century.

I'd bring back the Bill Clinton days in a heartbeat.

ALL politics is about compromise. Anyone that thinks anything can get accomplished in Washington without compromise doesn't understand how our government works. Bill made the right choices the majority of the time and our country and the economy was booming because of it.

Compromises that make grandmas homeless are bad compromises. Clinton got away with it because nobody gives a shit about the projects, poor people don't vote, and because black folk have been saying the system is rigged for far longer than literally anyone else. D's don't gain credibility with their ostensible base by stabbing them in the back.
