    Wouldn’t be if it was anyone besides the Republicans. If Bernie was president you’d hear about how this is what socialism gives you and wouldn’t STFU about it.

      100%

      Even in the UK we have a moderately left wing potential candidate for Prime Minister who’s already being heavily criticised by the right wing media.

      The sad thing is that people lap it up. When I was 13 I could see that our newspapers were wildly biased. I don’t really think of myself as being above average intelligence, but at 48 I marvel that any reasonable person would read and believe that garbage.
