    I don’t think most people on “the left” are doing those things in the numbers you think they are.

      Yeah that doesn’t sound like the left lmao. The American left, whom the whole news-enjoying slice of the population believes to be the left? But which other countries consider right-of-center? Yeah, must be that “left”.

        Young people don’t watch the news anymore because they either don’t want to hear about politics or they don’t trust the news for politics. I don’t even know any old left wing people that watch the news anymore.

          Yeah, my point is really that all those news media convince everyone that liberals and Democrats are left wing, but they are far from it. Hard to imagine why any actual politically left (I.e. not “American left”) person would watch that stuff, it’s all propaganda.
