But there is not a whole lot we can do about the corpo/fascist 'news' monopolies, currently--other than to try to influence our Democratic Party leaders to use their unfairly small time slots to best advantage (--being tough, kickass supporters of Obama's program).

What we really need to worry about--because we can do something about it--is rightwing corporate-controlled, and 99% to 100% non-transparent voting machines. The corpo/fascist 'news' monopolies may write the false narratives for the stolen elections, but those narratives would not hold up if we had transparent vote counting--vote counting that everyone can see and understand.

That is the actual power to elect. It should be in full public control, and conducted in the light of day. And it just the opposite of that.

As I said in the other thread, South America has worse corporate media than we do, yet they have mounted a huge, democratic, leftist revolution all over the continent. How? They've worked on transparent, honest, fair elections. That's where the power is--in the election system itself.
