  4. 60% of Americans are reading and writing at a 6th Grade level. 1 in 3 of these are reading and writing at an 8 year old level. This means that they haven't progressed from concrete to abstract thinking and the do not know who Murdoch is or what he owns and what his vested interests are.

  8. You are right critical thinking and media literacy needs to be taught. 60% of Americans are reading and writing at a 6th Grade level this means that they haven't progressed from concrete to abstract thinking and don't know who Murdoch is or what he owns. This is a reason it's a close race. A lack of critical literacy skills has had a huge impact. There is a lack of a living wage which means that 66.2% of Americans are living pay check to pay check and are working 2 or 3 jobs and can't pay rent and buy food for their children is the reason the race is close. The lack of time to read the news is having a huge impact on the understanding what is going on. The media sanewashing, poverty, illiteracy, Intergenerational Trauma and neoliberalism where Democrats and Republicans conspired to use "Poverty as a Policy Choice" and the reasons why it's a close race and what is needed is enough money to pay rent and buy food for their children. On top of that critical literacy and media literacy are desparately needed.

  9. It was brilliant timing on multiple levels. Biden flatlined the typical poll bumps that would have typically been expected after the RNC for the newly introduced VP and Republican nominee.

  10. Elon Musk has spent $44 billion dollars to purchase Twitter in order to buy the election for Trump. Musk flooded the zone with disinformation.

  15. SCOTUS failed to implement the American Constitution otherwise Trump wouldn't have been allowed to be on the ballot due to his involvement in the insurrection. SCOTUS is corrupt.

  18. Harris will have to be perfect to win the debate. Trump will get away with continuously lying like he did with Biden. The corporate media is holding her to a very different standard than Trump is. https://youtu.be/MXXNybD86yY

  20. I think you do need to talk about the racist lies of saying folks are not eating dogs and cats, because it's Trump & Vance's way of using the N word against Kamala Harris without saying the N word. It takes one or two minutes to debunk this. There will be folks watching that don't know that is a slam dunk of a racist lies. They are your Independents, they are your Undecideds and they are your Low Information Voters who are just tuning into there's a presidential election in November. Please don't assume folks have your common sense critical literacy skills. They don't. 60% of Americans are reading and writing at a 6th Grade level. 66.2% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. They are working 2-3 jobs and they are don't have enough to pay rent & buy food for their children.

  29. Cenk went on The Mark Thompson Show and said that Harris was a DEI hire and did not deserve to be VP, nevertheless run for president. Harris was educated in ways that Trump will never be.

  31. The New York Times ran 196 negative articles on Biden's mental decline vs 6-10 negative articles on Trump's mental decline during the same time period. Trump received $6 billion dollars in free coverage in 2016 and free coverage continues in 2024 without fact checking.

  35. SCOTUS refused to apply the American Constitution. Trump should have been banned from being on the ballot for his involvement in the insurrection. Anyone else would be off the ballot for insurrection and out of the election. Trump bought his three SCOTUS judges and they paid for themselves.

  43. As a fellow Queer person I can say that Tim Miller is brilliant but he is hopeless around sexual assault, rape and abortion. He's going to have a steep learning curve with his daughter. Roger Moore didn't have "sex" with underage girls, that is rape Tim. That is why it is illegal. It's called statutory rape. Don't alienate your own fan base Tim.

  55. To my way of thinking it is Intergenerational Trauma, poverty, illiteracy and a complete lack of time to engage with the media which makes folks very vulnerable to cults, lies, disconnection, disinformation and manipulation. There's some statistics that are worth knowing. 66.2% of Americans are living pay check to pay check. They work 2-3 jobs and can't pay rent and buy food for their children. Then they have to "volunteer" for food stamps. They are time poor and often do not engage with media. 60% of Americans are reading and writing at a 6th Grade level. 1 in 3 of these are reading and writing at an 8 year old level. This means that they haven't progressed from concrete to abstract thinking. This means that they haven't got critical thinking skills. They do not know about billionaire media owners and their agendas. How they want their Trump tax cuts. Both Republicans and Democrats conspired to use neoliberalism's "Poverty as a Policy Choice". Neoliberalism shifts a citizen of a country who has rights and responsibilities, a sense of belonging and purpose to being a consumer in a market place who is to blame if they do not purchase the right life despite not having a trust fund. The shaming and humiliating of the poor is a feature of neoliberalism. Folks who are vulnerable become desperate to scapegoat others which feels like a huge relief that they are not the at the brunt of the scapegoating. Intergenerational Trauma, poverty and illiteracy makes folks very vulnerable to cults, lies, disconnection, disinformation and manipulation. Trump and FOX news use amygdala hijacks, that is they play on fear responses or fight, flight, freeze or fawn responses. If you are in fight, flight, freeze or fawn responses your rational mind or prefrontal cortex has shut down. Biologically your capacity to think has been shut down. There's no capacity to rationally think things through. Without access to adequate food, housing, stable employment and education folks don't have the capacity to process and engage in moral thinking.

  56. America voted Trump out in 2020 and he did not accept that vote! Gerrymandering and voter suppression are serious problems. Trump is ready with his insurrectionists this time. Millions of people believe Trump won last time. They are brain washed. They are ready to fight.

  57. Teachers need to be paid enough to live on. So they don't have to work a second or third job.

  60. I understand your frustration but it's more complicated than that. Don't be conned by superficial analysis. 66.2% of Americans can't get $500 together for an emergency. They work 2-3 jobs and can't pay rent and buy food for their children. It is the Democratic and Republican neoliberalist use of "Poverty as a Policy Choice". A living wage could have prevented the rise of Trumpism. If you are working 6-7 days a week you don't have time to read the news. You barely have time to think. 60% of Americans are reading and writing at a 6th Grade level. 1 in 3 of these are reading and writing at a an 8 year old level. This means that they haven't progressed from concrete to abstract thinking. This means that they do not have critical thinking skills. So I would argue that a combination of Intergenerational Trauma, racism, poverty and illiteracy leave folks disengaged, extremely time poor, desparate and vulnerable to cults like the MAGA cult. Trump and FOX news use amygdala hijacks. This means that they activate a fight, flight, freeze or fawn responses. This literally means that the rational thinking part of the brain is shut down. It is used by strong men figures to create an environment of racism, sexism, homophobia, Antisemitism and hatred of the other. That hatred of the other is dangerous see authoritarian leaders. Those doing the othering have been othered by poverty, illiteracy and not belonging. To disregard their suffering by thinking it's about stupidity is to miss the cultural moment. It is to alienate those that we desperately need to build bridges with. It leaves us powerless and helpless. If we can see why folks might want to burn things to the ground then we can interact with them and build coalitions

  64. 1% of abortions occur after 21 weeks in America and they are the most heart breaking moments in the world. It can take a woman or a couple years to get over a late term pregnancy loss. To discuss these abortions as cavalier or birth control is either wilful ignorance or sadistic. There is an uptick of suicidal ideation among women who hear these discussions who have been through this terrible experience. These lies can cause serious harm.

  69. The majority of Americans won't pay attention to the presidential elections until after Labor Day. You are among a minority of engaged folks. There's a few other complicating factors if you are interested. 60% of Americans are reading and writing at a 6th Grade level. 1 in 3 of these are reading and writing at an 8 year old level. This means that they haven't progressed from concrete to abstract thinking. They have not developed any critical thinking skills. 60% of Americans can't get $500 together for a medical emergency. They work 2-3 jobs and can't pay rent and buy food for their children. They have to "volunteer" to get food stamps. They are not analysing the news, they read headlines (which are usually click bait). They are extremely low information voters because of their combined too poor Intergenerational illiteracy and poverty impacts folks in profound ways.  Neoliberalism shifts a citizen in a country who has rights and responsibilities as well as a sense of belonging and purpose to being consumers in a market place. Consumers have to purchase wisely their own lives and it's their own fault if they do not have a trust fund. Neoliberalism has destroyed the psyches of so many people. The poor are blamed for their own situation.  Fox News engages in amygdala hijacks that is it activates the fight, flight, freeze or fawn responses. This literally means that their pre frontal cortex has shut down. They don't have the ability to engage in rational decision-making and thinking.  So those feeling profound shame about their lives engage in scapegoating others. They are desperate to vent and punish someone even if it is themselves.  A living wage, enough to eat and pay rent may well of staved off the rise of Trumpism.

  70. It is much deeper than the price of eggs. Don't be conned by surface analysis. 66.2% of Americans can't get $500 together for an emergency. They work 2-3 jobs and can't pay rent and buy food for their children. It is the Democratic and Republican neoliberalist use of "Poverty as a Policy Choice".

Those doing the bothering have been others by poverty, illiteracy and not belonging. To disregard their suffering by thinking it's about egg prices is to miss the cultural moment. It is to alienate those that we desperately need to build bridges with. It leaves us powerless and helpless.

  81. Due to Intergenerational Trauma, poverty and illiteracy 60% of Americans are reading and writing at a 6th Grade level level. 1 in 3 of these are reading and writing at a an eight year old level. This means that they haven't progressed from concrete to abstract thinking and they don't know who Murdoch is or what he owns. They also have no time either. 60 per cent of Americans can't get $500 together for an emergency. They work 2-3 jobs and can't pay rent and buy food for their children. They have to work for food stamps. They are the low information voters.
