(41,960 posts)And we feed it by responding. They dont care if responses are positive or negative; they just want attention. Its a tragic facet of media. And the competition is so fierce and attention spans so short that shocking people sells soap. * sigh*

(15,325 posts)...Began fullforce in 2013 with Zack Exley' s trip to Russia.
His movement is a fraud, his funding & messaging from Pete Theil's Silicon Valley.
Saboteurs intent to merge the ends of the 'horseshoe' by destroying the Democratic Party 'from within'.
They come from the same place of support & funding..
But 1st they had to spend the past 6+ years convincing the public that the Democratic Party "needed replacing", which it really didn't, except to serve their goal of ending our American Govt system, & installing an authoritarian system.
"We will tell you how to think"~ joseph goebbels on the use of media, propaganda, mass messaging.
Yes "it is THEY who are both the same", afterall.

(4,190 posts)The press/pundits are always wanting a D prez to have an R VP. Did anyone seriously suggest a Trump/Clinton ticket? Bush/Gore?
And why would we do that? A reporter or pundit pursuing something like this can't be taken seriously as a journalist. How long before they suggest a Biden/Kanye ticket?

By Thomas L. Friedman
As Ive noted before, one reason I pay very close attention to the Israeli-Palestinian arena is that a lot of trends get perfected there first and then go global airline hijacking, suicide bombing, building a wall, the challenges of pluralism and lots more. Its Off Broadway to Broadway, so whats playing there these days that might be a harbinger for politics in the U.S.? Answer: Its the most diverse national unity government in Israels history, one that stretches from Jewish settlers on the right all the way to an Israeli-Arab Islamist party and super-liberals on the left. Most important, its holding together, getting stuff done and muting the hyperpolarization that was making Israel ungovernable.
Is that what America needs in 2024 a ticket of Joe Biden and Liz Cheney? Or Joe Biden and Lisa Murkowski, or Kamala Harris and Mitt Romney, or Stacey Abrams and Liz Cheney, or Amy Klobuchar and Liz Cheney? Or any other such combination. Before you leap into the comments section, hear me out. In June, after an utterly wild period in which Israel held four national elections over two years and kept failing to produce a stable governing majority, the lambs there actually lay down with the lions.
Key Israeli politicians swallowed their pride, softened policy edges and came together for a four-year national unity government led by rightist Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and left-of-center Alternate Prime Minister Yair Lapid. (They are to switch places after two years.) And for the first time, an Israeli Arab party, the Islamist organization Raam, played a vital role in cementing an Israeli coalition. What forced everyones hand? A broad agreement that Israeli politics was being held hostage by then-Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, who resisted putting together any government that he would not lead, apparently because, if he didnt lead, he could lose his chance at some kind of immunity from prosecution on multiple corruption charges that could lead to prison.
Sound familiar? As Hebrew University of Jerusalem religious philosopher Moshe Halbertal put it to me: What happened here is that there is still enough civic responsibility not everywhere, but enough that the political class felt that the continued breakdown of the rule of law and more elections, which was leading nowhere, was an indulgence that Israel simply could not afford, given its highly diverse population and dangerous neighborhood.
