4. They don't play it ...
they own it!

I keep trying to note that I don't think it is failure on our part. The media is in bed with the Right-wing because they have a controlling interest in it and have been setting this information network up for a long time. In restrospect, it was invitable, but hindsight is 20/20 usually.

If the race is fixed then your horse may not win no matter how much you wish it would.

Lambasting and criticizing the media is a good place to put your thoughts, energy, and communication. If we reject it in favor of alternatives, and encourage others to, we are apt to make some progress.

No point in fretting about what Democrats did wrong at this stage, though we can improve the situation there. That is secondary to the core problem, IMHO. It is also pessimistic and divisive.

Let's quit staring into the headlights ;)
