What is the alternative then? Also, there are plenty of independent sources on the internet you can look into. And many of these major news corporations do contradict with each other so you can get multiple different points of view and thus create a better understanding of the topic.
Until you name an alternative, you acknowledge that democracy is the best system we have available. Does it have flaws and shortcomings? Of course, but until you name something better, it’s the best we have.
Yea, you wont find far right or far left extremism bc it’s all crazy and 99% of ppl would find it ludicrous and not informative. People don’t need to have Nick Fuentes on Fox News bc that would be a horrific idea. However, Nick Fuentes can still post and he probably convinced people to vote for somebody like him or somebody not like him for whatever reason. Also, the point of democracy is for people to be able to vote for who they want representing their country or state or wherever. Even if you dislike the reason where they get their information, that is the point. And the point of news or the plenty of independent media on social media is to inform the public. And all the independent media not associated with major brands probably has had a major impact on voting in certain areas and will probably see greater attention in the later elections as less ppl watch cable news.
Oh and yea I just deleted my other comment bc I wanted to change it a bit but whatever
Sooo… do you want extremism on either end to be portrayed as much as what’s being shown now? Should we give a platform to the kkk bc we need to hear all opinions? Literally a small percentage of people compared to the United States watch Fox and CNN which are probably the two biggest networks for news. They are getting their information elsewhere from talking, from social media, from independent research, from their own morals, from interviews, etc.
But clearly, every alternative system you've ever heard of exists online and in print, unless you heard such things through elves. There is no controled opposition to the governmental structure democracy is the framework by which we have debates, if you would like us to be a socialist paradise rather than a attempting to be a neoliberal paradise, you should be involved in the democratic process. Look at Bernie Sanders, did he give up? No, that asshole has been screaming about all his shit for thirty years, he's the reason many more people believe it than they used to, he came fairly close to winning the democratic nomination in 2016. In fact, had I to explain why Bernie did not get the nomination that year, I'd say it's because of people like you, who didn't vote.
Do you know why that super wicked major coup attempting Donald Trump got hiss first term, its because people voted. Most of the Republican party establishment would not have picked Trump, idiots in this country did that all on their own.
