It's unbelievable how narrow the overton window is, and people think it's larger than it really is. There is very little separating Democrats and Republicans in 2018, at least from party officials (I believe the population is further left than represented). Voting rights, universal healthcare, public education is not a concern of any "left" wing media any longer; that ended a long time ago. "Left" wing media also helped push us into the Iraq War, helping to set the stage for American approval.
- mozumder 9y agoIt's gotten a lot larger this election cycle, though. Trump really enabled the liberal base, enough so that you hear talk about repealing the 2nd amendment.
- prolikewhoa 9y agoI think it has gotten larger in reality like you said, but our Media doesn't display it even in the slightest because none of it is free from corporate interests.
