  1. That's true to a degree but the what we saw in the UK with Jeremy Corbyn Labour party shows how they can fight the media by bypassing them with social media and mobilising the young voters, it worked really well in the UK and I believe it could work for the Democrats because they have the same problem the Labour party does in the UK, too much of the right wing media is bias against them.

  2. Maybe thats true but what we've seen happen is the Democrats and Labour parties have moved more to the right so they become more electable, in some ways, both the Republican and Democrat party are both right wing in the US just that the Republican party is a bit more extreme to the right compared to the Democrats and we've seen with Labour under Corbyn how theres is a big push to push them back further to the left even with a lot of resistance within his own party but the people seem to like what he's saying, in any case, most of the major parties the last few decades have become more or less the same, offering the public little choice which isn't good for democracy but things do seem to be changing with some good and bad results as we are seeing in the UK, US, France and the rest of Europe and should be interesting to see how all this pans out over the next decade or so.

  3. Try telling that to the scandinavian countries that are probably some of the most socialistic countries in the modern world and yet they have some of the highest quality of living in the world, they also have some of the highest taxes in the world which means spreading the wealth out more evenly among the population. It's ironic but most don't realise that lower taxes just means wealth ends up in fewer hands because the smarter people take advantage of the less smart in society, higher taxes gives the government more of a role in distributing the wealth more fairer and it ends up being the poor and middle classes that benefit the most from that.
