    What you’ve shown is the system -democracy - working as intended. I’m not sure how that’s a criticism.

    That’s the problem. You get one party in power who doesn’t like it for some reason, it’s gone.

    except your “evidence” proves the exact opposite.

      Kinda like how Reagan removed the fairness doctrine… Oh, sure, any ol’ President could have it restored… 8 years of Clinton, 8 years of Obama, 2+ years of Biden… Hey, it’s only been since 1987… 36 years… I’m sure it will be back any day now…

          My argument is that anything the government grants you can also be taken away… and if the counter is “But it can be restored too…”

          Yeah, still waiting on the Fairness Doctrine, which, yeah, also has a direct impact on journalism.

            it’s easy to win your own arguments when you put words in my mouth. why even bother pretending to have a debate when all you want is to put on a performance?

            you can wallow in defeatist nihilism. I have better things to do.
