The problem with the American left is that it hasn't moved away from their Bush-era mindset of the 2000s, and there's a big gaping void in their memories with the sign, "Obama Years" that has a spritz of flowery perfume on it. They still think they are counterculture rebels fighting against "The Man", when the truth is the establishment has been catering to them for at least a decade. But they still like to pretend that they are the ones having the boot in their face, that government and corporations are censoring THEM. That the MSM is biased against THEIR candidates. It's the 'Grass is greener on the other side' mindset. No one wants to think of themselves as being the ones with institutional favor. However they so badly wish and say they are OPPRESSED, conservatives are actually experiencing that right now on all fronts. It only becomes obvious when you go from one side to the other and see the stark contrast in institutional treatment.
