Donald Trump’s conviction on 34 felonies counts. President Biden’s debate debacle. Democrats and Republicans had radically different responses to recent news about their presidential candidates, illustrating something important about the two major parties.

You know... after yesterday's "I don't vote and you shouldn't either" by a dude who DOES VOTE - FOR THEOCRATIC FASCISTS - you are really showing how fucking transparently you're trying to stack the deck, here.

The nyt profits more when people are terrified then when they aren't They prefer trump, because everyone looked at the news every day, because everything was on fire and people were being black bagged into vans at blm protests That sells newspapers, or at least it gets clicks on the link

Fair, but again, they would have abandoned the heel turn if it didn't get them clicks and attention In an economy driven entirely by click through rate, any click is a good click With companies this big, ideology barely matters, its money.

As someone who worked at a company that big: You would be amazed at how petty and arrogant folks making the decisions are. If they can get the person removed and replaced with "their guy", you'd better believe they'll take it, hit to the reputation be damned, because it solidifies power.
