      Why?

      Like, obviously bullshit propaganda, but name a cable news network not owned by corrupt billionaires who only bought it to manipulate public opinion.

      Bernie’s been on there so often they probably have a chair with his name on it.

      If you genuinely want to talk about helping Americans, it’s not impossible to get your message out.

      Hell, Pete goes on there all the time too. It’s not just progressives.

      We can’t reach them by being more conservative, but still to the left of Republicans.

      We have to reach them by authentically telling them how we’d help everyone. That can be sold on Faux News these days even if the hosts fight against it.

      But you can’t just trot someone out there to say “my name isn’t trump!” and expect to get applause.

        It was the right thing for him to do- to go on and talk to those viewers - but i felt dirty watching the channel and changed it immediately after.
