And what does that say about the omnipotence of the media, social, anti-social, or otherwise? As long as PACs are able to throw billions into campaigns, who then funnel it straight into the networks' coffers, this media-industrial complex will keep the weak-minded populace enthralled. Step one: elect Harris-Walz; step two: secure majorities in congress; step three: overturn Citizen's United. Until dark money is controlled, nothing will change.

Maybe we're building a miracle.
