After all, when Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, and Clinton lost, we were inundated with advice from the MSM & pundits that "Democrats need to move to the right." I certainly don't recall any kind of advice like that given to the Repukes that they need to move more to the left when George H. W. Bush, Romney, and McCain lost.
This has been discussed to death, but again, I have NEVER seen the level of media bias given to the Repigs than I have seen in this election. And I have seen a lot of elections.

(28,835 posts)Between the billions in free airtime for Trump and the incessant criticism of Clinton, from both the right and the left, I think that one takes the prize for media bias.
This one has been bad, but that one was on another level. In 2016, the media didn't know what to do with Trump or how to cover him. In this cycle, there's been much more cohesion in the coverage. He's covered much more negatively than in 2016, the claims to the contrary notwithstanding.
In both cases, the women running for president pretty much had to be perfect. The main difference is that Clinton was also taking hits from the left - I will never take Salon seriously again after how they treated her in 2016 or how they gave a platform to cranks - where Harris hasn't had to deal with much of that at all.

(2,403 posts)The media has lied to you all along. The media will tell you the Democrats effort to suppress your vote was successful because they paid off the evil liberal left media. They will not tell you the truth, the truth being that TSF won the election with margins Kim Jong-Un would envy. We now must act to ensure this gets to the Supreme Court. The profits from the purchase of our latest NFT collection will allow our media company to become the only source of news available. Please give generously.

(790 posts)...to make Republicans rethink their whole strategy rather than do what they do best: double down and try again.
The sad thing is that strategy can pay off, in time, if the American public stays on this ridiculous razor's edge when choosing between decent normal human beings like Harris, Biden, and Clinton vs. depraved narcissists like Trump.
Choosing anyone but Trump should be a natural, easy choice. Not a struggle.
I think only a crushing Republican defeat will pull the electorate and the Republican party back from the precipice for a generation or two. Otherwise, even with a Harris win tomorrow, we'll be playing autocracy Russian Roulette every four years.
