What sucks is I’m sure no conservative reads Vanity Fair.

They might if Jennifer Connelly or Hannah Waddingham is on the cover, but you're right. They're not going to read think pieces like this.

I mean... There is. But, Trump's side represents a much more imminent and intentional threat.

I think you've missed a few key conversations. When people say "both sides are bad" they're equating Biden's neoliberalism with Trump's fascism, as if they are equal in their destructive power. This article is clearing the air. Biden, for all of his faults, is far and away the least existential political threat to the USA.

Then the DNC better primary Biden and get someone in there thats not taking us further into war, and getting Palestinians slaughtered by the 10 of thousands.

I agree with you on the Palestine comment, however, that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. How would DNC primarying Biden in any way have an impact on how media and political parties are framing readily available and verifiable facts as debatable political points?

Because they're astroturfing and they are literally and ironically bothsidesing this issue.
