We can have more than one problem. But the 2 party system makes it easier for the parties to suck because there’s no real competition. You can have GOP or GOP-lite. Governments with more parties have measurably healthier democracies.
This feels like an oversimplification – let’s not forget that billionaires have poured untold sums of money into funding right-wing propaganda…and that virtually every major platform is owned and operated by billionaires with right-wing agendas.
Not only did Elon Musk spend billions on Twitter to make sure only voices he like get platformed, but Youtube has a well documented history of pushing more and more radical right-wing content to users, and Donald Trump just made sure that the one online place where left-wing voices were able to dominate (TikTok) was forced to be sold to his buddy, Larry Ellison.

16·2 months agoEverything about the Bin Ladens is crazy…like on 9/11 they shut down all air traffic except for people who were able to get special permission…Osama Bin Laden’s siblings and their families all got special permission to jet back to Saudi Arabia.
Of course I do, I live in the US.
Not to brag, but I can care about 2 things at once. 🧠

Because fuck 'em, that’s why.

The Trump FCC chair started it by threatening ABC’s license as well as licenses of ABC affiliates…Nexstar/Sinclair said they wouldn’t broadcast the show, then ABC bowed to pressure and said the show was cancelled indefinitely.
Disney is worth $200+ billion, and if they fought this in court, the first amendment is clearly on their side. But like Paramount before them, they are complying in advance.
Good job!
Because they buy up companies more often than normal people buy milk.
The (presumably) Feds in the picture standing around with their arms crossed looking at the minor damage to the gate don’t look that terrorized to me, but what do I know, I’m not a big brain cop.

For anyone checking this thread in the future. Qobuz does seem to be the only one not owned by demons. Deezer’s owner was personally sanctioned by Ukraine for his support of the invasion, Spotify pays artists incredibly poorly (and is partially owned by Tencent and Black Rock), Tidal’s largest shareholders are investment banks and Black Rock, and Napster is owned in-part by Live Nation.
Ugh.
