Stop talking about Trump. ~~Seriously how the fuck is it that nobody in politics and media have considered this~~. Just stop. Stop putting him on everyone's tv 24 fucking 7. It doesn't work. You aren't going to move the needle a single centimeter. Get the lazy asses to the polls in November. Then you have a slam dunk campaign.
They've considered it. The media moguls make massive amounts of money with Trump around. Bad news sells.

Just in case you're unaware, there's a class war going on, and the people who own the media aren't the same class as us. "It's a big club and we ain't in it."
Damn, I forgot about money. You're right. But I stand by the rest of my comment.
Agreed. The free attention we give Trump is absolutely part of the problem.
Even not counting the rich vs poor, theres a war between the informed and the stupid and gullible. 2016 proved the second group is bigger than initially thought.
