Remember when Trump was on Twitter and mocking his self-obsessed bullshit made us feel good and important but it also always delivered him the attention that he craved and made him even more powerful?
I hope we all know that we're running that exact same playbook again.
Everything's normal?

One of the great failures of our media in this country is the regular both sides-ing of ‘far left’ and ‘far right’ as some sort of matching counterparts.
The far right cozies up to Nazis and incites political violence. The far left wants Medicare for All and a Green New Deal.

The false red wave narrative pushed by the US media is yet more evidence that these polls are designed to influence public opinion, not gauge it. A tool used to manipulate voters and manufacture consent.
