In 1941, following such mistakes that were obviously bad ideas, and following the Nazis ridiculously good use of the media to gain and maintain power, the fairness doctrine was passed in the US. Until Clinton's repeal of the doctrine all media that reported orr discussed politics had to do so with equal weight to all sides of an issue and without bias towards any group.

The media working for politicians or political parties leads to Nazis, every time. Just like liberals compromising or choosing a moderate approach.

Except she didn't campaign in most states, hence her loss in even democrat leaning swing states in the general election.

Media is supposed to be neutral and was until the 90s. Media is not supposed to take any particular side. You're confusing the medias right and responsibility to criticize government with extreme bias against part of government.

They could, they'd just make less money if they had to, you know, pay for their labor and give their employees rights..

The US is keeping Iran out. If the US even suggests it won't invade Iran in response, Iran would eliminate Israel within an hour of that statement being made. They proved they can defeat the iron dome, cheaply even.

There is no right to paid medical leave in the us. You can request up to 180 days unpaid that is protected... But realistically you'll be fired within a month after coming back due to "performance issues." Your employer can also always ask the reason and fire you for not telling them, as then you have no protection from discrimination as your employer can argue they didn't know enough to discriminate.

Workers rights in the US, unless you're in an incredibly powerful union like the police unions or the aviation industry, are non-existent compared to any developed (and most developing) nation.

Because HIPAA has no protection against the state and never was meant for that. There are no federal privacy protections and no federal right to privacy, medical or otherwise.

They actually do go hand in hand. Just not under the american economic system. China has cheap evs higher average wages when factoring in ppp, and a better environmental track record and future than the US.

Incredibly incorrect. SF has done less than nothing to solve the problem for 20 years, and is shocked when doing nothing did nothing.

Because, quite frankly, there is no place for inefficient vehicles, and without ecus/other electronic controls ICE vehicles are basically unable to compete

Yes, the entirety of both wars had indiscriminate shelling of non military targets. The US from every perspective was the bad guys for the last 20 years globally due to their explicit murder of over 1.5 million known civillians

Around 30% tops but more importantly what do those trump supporters want? The exact same things you do, they just believe different causes for the problems we all see and thus have wildly different solutions.
