  1. >Democrats must treat the current state of the information ecosystem as a matter of urgency. The ideas offered by these candidates for DNC chair suggest this process has begun. It can’t be allowed to drop. A key test for any aspiring chair should be whether each is offering a comprehensive agenda illustrating a deep understanding of the information gap—and what to do about it.

  2. It should wake up the country, but that would be woke – amiright?

  4. So GOP has FOX and X, two propaganda agencies, very difficult to compete but not impossible

  6. They need to push back on the “elite” narrative the GOP push. There are few people in the US more elite than the leadership about to take over Washington, but they have the people fooled that the well-educated are the elite somehow. Demonizing education for the people is a big step usually taken toward complete control.

  9. I’m looking forward to Trump eventually turning sour on Musk.

    I’m sure it’ll happen. Trump can’t share the limelight.

    “Hey, that’s a murky immigration story you have there, Elon… Would be a shame if I asked my Justice Department to dig into it…”

  11. I wonder if John Roberts feels any remorse or responsibility for Citizens United?

  12. “Wake up dems”. Wake up to what? We all knew about this and the only chance there was to fight it was in November. There’s nothing left to do

  14. Oh New Republic, always a piece of trash.

    Do you think we’ve not been screaming at the top of our lungs about Citizens United since the moment that case went through?

    We know what the problem is.

  15. Yeah, and stop cutting peoples social programs and start texting these rich guys and ship Elon Musk back to South Africa

  18. So what can be done? Citizens United will never to overturned at this point

  19. John Roberts did this, and he did it on purpose.

  20. Wake up Dems…how? The only option is to overturn Citizens United and put some real teeth into anti-trust enforcement. The second won’t happen without the first, and the first won’t happen until SCOTUS gets purged.

    So…you know, not in my lifetime.

  21. 250 mill?

    More like 44.25 billion.

    He bought Twitter to amplify right wing propaganda to get tfg back in.

  22. What are they supposed to do? Politicians are bought and paid for in this country, this is the way. He better stay on Trump’s good side! But I hope he doesn’t

  23. Should be illegal in a democracy when your donating that much you are buying favor not taking part in a democracy. Elon is a parasite on all working people

  24. Dems? It should wake up anyone who isn’t rich with a brain. The richest man in the world just bought our government. As I keep seeing, MAGA needs to get their heads out of their asses and start realizing it’s not the poor immigrant in the field, or the gay/trans that’s their enemy. The class war is the one that needs to be fought, not the social BS.

  25. Thank the Supreme Court and its citizens united ruling. This Supreme Court has done incredible damage to this country.

  26. I wonder what is going to be written on the casings next time?

  27. I’m so tired of these headlines… lol.

    It happens every time we lose to an idiotic republican President (all of them, in my lifetime).

  28. The wealthiest man bought the presidency. How is this bad for Dems? IS FUCKING WHY WE ARE HERE. The New Republic has propped up right bullshit for a looong time. And every framing of how awful the GOP behaves is ‘why don’t the Dems do something better?’ Implying total hopelessness and the inability of the GOP to BEHAVE ETHICALLY OR IN THE INTEREST OF THE COMMON GOOD. Whole narrative is fucked.

  30. Wake them up to what? They need to get themselves an Elon Musk?

  33. Wake up Dems? wtf are they supposed to do about it? SCOTUS fucked us all with Citizens United.

  34. It’s crazy seeing how the propaganda machine that was legacy media has been flipped on its head by one man. Man, liberals really screwed up when they pissed him off…

  35. We are awake. We have been awake for years. The Undecided and the Republicans are the ones that need to wake up.

  36. My biggest obstacle fighting disinformation and the propaganda machine, is the democrats themselves.

    It’s what I call the “Democrat denial system”. And it’s fatal. Moreover, they’ll tsk, tsk, and shame you for even thinking mean thoughts like that. 🙄

    During the 2020 Bucks County PA school board elections, I told the candidates to band together, and send out postcards of burning books. “Oh no! We won’t sink that low! And they really might get upset with us, too”.

    In my neighborhood, the mayo mafia terrorized the community tearing up, slicing up, and hanging Biden campaign signs from trees. I removed a Trump 2020 sign that was obstructing a stop sign. Within minutes, a gaggle of MAGAts pulled up out of nowhere in their trucks, verbally attacking me.

    A couple Biden supporters came over to find out what the commotion was about. And THEY joined in on the mobbing!!

    Hopeless. Fucking hopeless.

  37. What a weird title. Dems are the ones who are calling out the corruption. Why isn’t this calling out republicans for shielding their eyes and ears to the corruption?

  41. Stop with this fucking Democrats versus Republican garbage. It’s class, all of us at the bottom are getting fucked. It’s a class issue.
