The answer you get is going to be, "But they own all the media outlets!1!"

Which has been the case for at least 30 years. And people seem to feel that saying this, and then wringing our hands, is an appropriate response to that situation. Which has brought us to where we are today.

After 30 years, we need to finally figure out a way around that. And there's plenty we can do to get around it.

I will say that the Democratic substack is a nice start. Everyone should be joining it, but I haven't heard about it anywhere but here in a thread that dropped like a stone. Every Democratic rep should be mentioning it every day, all the time, so we all know it exists and can join it and know how we can support them.
Here's the info on that: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=20304539
