So we need another FDR. Can we do it without a preceding depression this time around?
We can't because we have corporate ~~propaganda~~ news outlets that will work tirelessly to frame this "new FDR" as a fascist communist racist woke elite conman.
Pick your outlet and that will determine the words chosen to disparage them.
Hell just look at the supposed "liberal media" treating Bernie Sanders when he looked to be taking the lead in the primaries, suddenly every story was "Bernie loves Castro! Bernie loves Cuba! Be afraid! He likes communist stuff! Boo! Ahhh! Oh no it's Bernie!"
Don't forget the low blow campaign tactic of the "Bernie Bros" - and how I cannot be a feminist if I don't cast my vote for Clinton. I couldn't believe how biased NPR was in their coverage and framing of that primary. It caused me to stop being a supporter.
I’m still proud to be considered a 21 year old russian man named Vladimer online!!! (I am not even close to any of those but my twitter replies insist i’m wrong about that actually)
