...a sizable portion of the profit-hungry media, legislators who suppress votes and gerrymander the hell out of communities, shameless pundits who lie, corporations that have successfully consolidated media, and of course the GOP who propped up a candidate whose extreme limitations and dysfunction have always been obvious to those who look. etc..
