And she gets it now. She's absolutely right that the mass media needs to cover way more than just the surface, like What does it all mean, and what does it mean for our democracy? On this, they have failed abysmally.

I believe that one reason the mass media has been so delinquent in covering what's really at stake and has just focused on the horse race is that without Donald Trump's candidacy, there would be no horse race - a fact that Trump understands and exploits. If he were incarcerated or disqualified, one of our two major political parties would be totally knocked out of commission. And then RFK Jr. would square off against Biden, I suppose. Another possibility is that the whole Republican party would go down in flames.

What we're seeing this election season is total insanity, on a mass scale - a situation that is totally unprecedented in our nation's history. Trump is a damaged candidate, and totally unqualified and unfit in every way possible for the presidency, but millions of people are in total denial of that fact, and will throw our democracy. or democratic republic, away to vote for Trump, who has made it perfectly clear that he aspires to be a dictator, and end our democracy.

Time is getting short, with just less than six months left until the presidential election in November. How do we wake people up???
