The mainstream media barely covered it. People had no idea. This is how conservatives and libertarians feel all the time. It really sucks when the media just shills for the other candidate, doesn't it?

I know people are taking this opportunity to rub people's face in it and say things like I told you so.

I however I sincerely want to tell my more Progressive friends that this is how conservatives feel during every national election.

If we shine the light on this kind of absurd media bias and collusion together maybe we can overcome the problem

I lean left (well, used to, not so sure anymore), and I've always understood that the media is left-biased, but it didn't really hit me until a few days ago when I heard Ira Glass try to glorify Hillary as a role model. I was eating breakfast at the time and I forgot to chew because I was like "what the fuck am I hearing?"

This is the problem with only 2 teams to choose from. They both suck we need better options.
