Practically speaking, what is supposed to be done about it? It's all protected by the first amendment. Even if they were to somehow pass a new kind of "fairness" legislation in a future blue wave, the stacked SCOTUS will strike it down.

They could at least try to end corporate personhood.. make it so that corporations are not protected by the 1st amendment and don't get free speech... Anything they blast out needs to be scrutinized and any misinformation needs to have heavy penalties... Sure the actual person saying the thing is protected, but the corporations pushing it out or allowing it to go out through them get crushed under fines... This would require a party that is not working for the oligarchy/donors though

You'd need a supermajority to amend the constitution, and that is completely unrealistic.
It wouldn't be easy, but I think people, especially young people, want to vote for people who will actually fight... Over and over as long as it takes

Bold of them to assume there's going to be a Democratic party.
Okay. Am I to assume this means they have to do interviews on fox News? What the fuck are they supposed to do about this? They clearly know it
They need to come to terms!!
I've been coming to terms and I never see them there!

Anyone with an AM radio has known this for decades.
So Dems don't turnout to vote and this is the Republican propaganda machines fault? The day the Dems actually take accountability for their continual fuckups is the day I might vote for them again.

It was never a tenable solution.
