Biden keeps giving weapons to Israel so they can kill more brown people and these people are like "Gee it's the fucking press' fault". All those uncommitted votes and not one mention of Palestine in the entire article.
The silence is deafening
TBF to the press they did cover the uncommitted votes in the primary. Moderates and liberals just decided they didn't want to take it seriously. They shrugged and said "They'll vote for Biden when the time comes."
Is your last line not agreeing that it’s the fault of the press that the issue driving the votes isn’t being talked about?
Same thing
If that’s the case, you’re saying
People shouldn’t blame the press, because it’s the fault of the press
Did you read the article bro? It's obvious what I've meant. Is English your second language or something?
Edit: fuck it I'll spell it out. The article is blaming the press for not telling people more about Biden administration's achievements. But the uncommitted votas have shown that a lot of people are not voting for Biden because of the ongoing genocide. And not one mention of it in the article. So I'm not blaming the press for Biden's poor performance. I'm calling them delusional to think that it's because of that. Please read the article next time before commenting.
I mean it has been covered. People just ignore it. I'm still getting accused of being a Russian plant even after thousands of votes were cast for uncommitted. Either those votes were cast by Russians or those people don't have internet I guess.
