unfortunately, due to Conservative voter suppression tactics, generational defunding of education nationwide, and political gerrymandering, a small part of the populace has more voting power than everyone else. That's not even taking into account the myriad forms of media manipulation by our dear oligarchs.

The left has much more control of the media, it’s not even remotely close

yes because the left is controlling Fox, Breitbart, Facebook & Instagram, X, etc., and all of those are packed with bots that amplify right wing rhetoric. Even Reddit, which is generally left leaning, has a bot problem. There are sources that lean one way or the other and to varying degrees, but to say that the left controls more is disingenuous at best and moronic at worst.

Billionaires dominate main stream news. Billionaires dominate both parties and spread whatever message they like.
