This whole cycle is giving me huge 2016 flashbacks.
The race is significantly tighter than in 2016, at least per the polling. Mostly, people are excited because its such a vast improvement from the Biden polls that had Trump winning in a landslide.
But folks on Lemmy don’t realize how hard-in-the-paint rightwing talk radio is currently going for Trump. The degree to which “Haitian migrants eating your dog!” and “Venezuelan terrorists have seized a condo in Colorado!” rhetoric has inundated the discourse can’t be overstated. People are taking this shit seriously and sincerely thanks to the breathless bombardment of migrant panic stories crashing over the news networks like a tsunami.
If I didn’t know better, I might suspect there’s a collaboration among arch-conservative megadonors and media organizations to saturate news networks with this fearmongering. I can’t think of any instance in which a news network spewing anti-immigrant sentiment to whip locals into a panicked frenzy has ever happened before, or what the consequences were, but I’m sure that’s not what is happening this time and even if it is everything will be fine.
Thank the deregulation of the 80’s and 90’s, coupled with the internet making it easier than ever to access anything and everything.
It used to be that spreading falsehoods or political bias on network TV or the airwaves via radio could get your station’s license revoked by the FCC. But Reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine, and with that out of the way, there were no barriers for Rush Limbaugh and similar ilk to make more money by saying whatever kept the hyper-conservative, over-religious pearl clutches tuning in.
But Reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine
I have mixed feelings about the Fairness Doctrine, because the practical consequence of the rule only ever seemed to give you a narrow “moderate liberal says X, moderate conservative says Y” corporately approved view. Hard to look at the modern media landscape and think to myself “Damn, if only we had more episodes of Crossfire to fix this”.
But yes, after the Fairness Doctrine, you saw an absolute flood of Rush-tier content that could blast uncontested bullshit all over the airwaves endlessly. The FCC went limp and allowed this to roll over the country.
I might also throw in the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which started a Katamari-esque consolidation of local radio and tv networks into the modern Clear Channel and Sinclair Media mega-monopolies. A big reason why Rush was a household name by the late '00s stemmed from all these local stations being force-fed his syndicated content, which was blasted practically 24/7 in rotation with a handful of other right-wing talking heads. This guy was cranking out three hours of content a day five days a week, and the shows would play back-to-back on a loop morning, noon, and night.
"In 1969, the court “ruled unanimously that the Fairness Doctrine was not only constitutional, but essential to democracy. The public airwaves should not just express the opinions of those who can pay for air time; they must allow the electorate to be informed about all sides of controversial issues.”
That’s how it started. I kept reading and it dawned on me how important it is to re-read what was learned in history class.
Check your registration! Many states have been doing voter purges to try to stop you from exercising your right to vote.
You guys need a real democracy. This is just madness
Do Americans even realise that in other countries that isn’t north korea or russia, the president or representative of the country isn’t treated like a popstar?
Of course we do. The problem is that those that understand are drowned out by loud incoherence of holding on to the past. If you have ONE thing you disagree about it’s over. There is no more of an intelligent discourse. It turns into a sling fest of who is more right and we all lose.
Everyone I know thinks our two party system is shit, but at the same time they think we are stuck with it and that it is a waste of time to worry about things we can’t change.
They’re wrong. We could change it if we all collectively demanded a better system. We are only powerless because we choose to believe we are powerless.
Aussie here. Legitimately don’t even know who our Prime Minister is… Not hard to find out, just don’t remember their name
Please remember… national polls mean nothing as we do not have national elections!
Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016. Donald Trump was illegitimately placed into power by a corrupt and broken electoral system. That was the real stolen election. Same with Bush v Gore.
Not quite the same as Bush V. Gore because they stopped the counting in Florida.
Had Florida been accurately counted, Gore won. This wasn’t discovered until it was too late.

In Clinton’s case, she legit lost enough states to lose the electoral college, no recount would have helped her.
I see the electoral college itself as illegitimate and with it, the US is not a democracy.
I mean iirc Hilary won the popular vote, no? The issue is our dumbass electorial college situation
The Republicans have won the presidency three times this century, but have only won the popular vote once, on George W. Bush’s second campaign in 2004. The Electoral College screwed us over in 2000 (Bush vs Gore) and 2016 (Trump vs Clinton).
The Deomocrats have also won the presidency three times this century, but also carried the popular vote every time they did. (Also, every time they won, Joe Biden has been on the ticket…)
so is that because of gerrymandering or how come the electoral college creates a different result?
It’s not intentional gerrymandering the same way that can happen when laying out congressional districts every 10 years, but it’s a form of gerrymandering from where the state boundaries got drawn. In addition, smaller population states have a disproportionate number of electoral votes, because every state gets 2 votes from their senators + a number of votes from their House members proportional to their population (minimum 1 representative, so minimum 3 total.)
Other than Nebraska and Maine, that splits their electoral votes, its winner take all within each state, so if you win a state by 1 million votes or just 1 vote, either way you win all of the state’s electoral votes.
Someone ran the numbers, based on the 2012-2021 congressional map, and worst case, you could win the popular vote 78.7% to 21.3% and still loose the election.
It’s not dumb. The EC is working exactly as designed.
The EC is the fulcrum that allows the rich and powerful to bypass the will of the people by applying only minimal effort and expense.
Built to appease a former slave state, oppressing us all through the amplification of like 18 fucking red necks in one rural Georgia county…
Yes and No. Yes she won the popular vote, by close to 3 million, but No not in the “swing states” that had been considered “safe”. A margin of 10,000 votes in Wisconsin Michigan? Something like that. Anyway, part of that was Democrats seeing she’s a shoo-in and not bothering to vote.
You Could Fit All the Voters Who Cost Clinton the Election in a Mid-Size Football Stadium
This latest number comes from Decision Desk’s final tally of Pennsylvania’s votes, where Trump won 2,961,875 votes to Clinton’s 2,915,440, a difference of 46,435 votes. Add that to the official results out of Wisconsin, where Clinton lost by 22,177 votes, and Michigan, which she lost by 10,704 votes, and there you have it: 0.057 percent of total voters cost Clinton the presidency.
Electoral College is absolutely the Fuckery Factor though, that’s true.
