certain orange man making all sorts of commitments in Afghanistan in the last weeks of 2020 to complicate the situation for Biden; but of course the media praised him for his "statecraft" and then, a nano-second after Joe took the oath of office, started screaming about how incompetent he was because the situation was a mess.

Folks, there are a number of reasons why we didn't win two weeks ago, but the biggest one is that the mainstream and rightwing media (including social media) continues to pedal sanewashing, gaslighting and outright lies 24/7. Until we figure out how to counter or drown that incessant noise out, a good chunk of the voting population will be beyond our reach.
