I have msnbc on in the background doing some chores

And I heard this anchor say, “ what does MF45 have to do to get his poll numbers up”?

I am like WTF why are you asking this question? Of course I realized they are going to revert to wanting to have a horse race between Biden and MF45 because that beings in ratings.

But it’s one of those things that make me go GRRRR about cable news.

That makes it sound like this is some sort of usual politics and ensuing election and it most certainly is not and should not be treated that way. To do so is dishonorable at this point and even ignorant.

The question, concerning somebody who is a threat to our national security and everything we hold dear, including life itself, is: ""What do we have to do make sure MF45's poll numbers continue to drop by way of ensuring that people really, truly understand the gravity of this situation?"

Treating it flippantly and like business as usual is despicable. We are seeing an almost apocalyptic confluence of events rising up to meet us face-to-face and the GOP and their Predator Grump are offering no true concern or leadership and even appear to be foisting a cult of death on us all for whatever benefits they imagine them and their cronies will get. NO! We need leadership that serves us, not the kind that demands we follow it, especially with fools who clearly have nefarious, ulterior motives.

Otherwise, this isn't a horse race or a political race, its a race to a collective graveyard and wards full of potentially permanently disabled people of all ages, not to mention the rest of the devastation to come.

boycotted, protested and emailed. We have to do something about 92% of all news in this country being controlled by 6 companies.

That shit has to stop.
