Who are these depressed Democratics that Joe and Mika

[redstateblues]

Are talking about? I’m excited about our prospects.
A new poll out yesterday has Bredesen up by 1 over Blackburn in spite of the national media declaring him dead in the water.

[Cracklin Charlie]

1. They are the ones that Mika and Joe want to stay home on Election Day.

Agenda.

[comradebillyboy]

8. Bingo, we have a winner.

[recentevents]

12. And lets not forget

THEY were a big part of putting Trump where he is. Mika blushing all over herself when he'd call in EVERY FKN DAY. The two of them calling Trump "their friend"

[BigGermanGuy]

15. it's not just them

Joy Reid the other night was pretty much bashing every possible dem candidate for 2020.

msnbc is the wolf in sheeps clothing.

[democratisphere]

2. The MSM is always trying to level the political playing field

in an attempt to hold viewer and listener interest. The MSM got drumpf elected and they don't want to give up their biggest attention getter.

[Cryptoad]

20. Damn Right

Just look at their election specialist Corn-Pone Steve. If it can spun Red he can do it!!!!!!

[RKP5637]

3. They want to keep stirring the pot so as to not lose viewers of all stripes. It's all about $$$$$'s.

If the anxiety level goes down, generally viewers might not tune in as much, and the bean counters see that as lost revenue.

[whathehell]

11. I believe it's also the show's "Both sides-ism" policy..

However bad the news on Republicans, they must always find SOMETHING "bad" to say about Dems for fear of looking "too partisan" or some such bullshit.

[Iliyah]

4. Democrats, Indies depressed, I would say pissed.

This is not the USA, the land of the free, opportunity, et al.

As usual the hounds of propaganda on steroids have been coming out in full force. Of course the conservatives owns corporate media.

Vote them out.

P.S. I do not trust the GOP to do the right thing. They will cheat, steal and suppress.

[qazplm135]

5. people still fear Trump

they think he's somehow figured something out after one narrow win, and they are afraid of underestimating him and his base again.

So they go the other way and thus even strong polling that highly suggests we take the House has them scared because "the polling was wrong last time" even though it really wasn't.

[vsrazdem]

6. It's BS.

Just love how they have Millionaires on the show, talking about what the people care about and how the economy is doing so great. Get real. When they start having REAL people from the middle class on their show talking about the economy I might be inclined to listen to them, until then, I don't give a crap about the dream world they live in.

[RKP5637]

7. Exactly!!! Just about every person they have on that show is wealthy. They hardly talk about what

is really going on for the majority of Americans. Much as with Fox and Friends, it's really IMO often entertainment. The only show I listen to anymore is Rachel. And I do often wonder how much RW Comcast has shaped her agenda.

[whathehell]

14. Yes, I've noticed that .

and I believe yhere ARE some editorial "mandates", even for people like Rachel & Chris Hayes.
You will notice, for instance that the subject of "Unions", as in "Labor Unions, is rarely, if ever discussed.

[RKP5637]

21. Yep, "Unions" seem to be the third rail. n/t

[whathehell]

24. Yes, The Money..

Kinda tells you something, doesn't it?

[Garion_55]

9. You can be depressed for the country

And still fired up to go vote to make a change. They are not mutually exclusive

[recentevents]

10. They were pissing me off this morning

First they ask a question about "Has the Republican party always been this way" (answer: yes)
Then talk about "Republicans will take your head off"

Maybe that's why your party is such shit now Joe. Because we democrats are the adults and don't behave in deplorable ways.

[yuiyoshida]

13. ITS NOT KAMALA HARRIS!!

16. They are the ones who

don't repeatedly resort to fear, anger, and hatred in their messages. They don't pound the table with angry outrage, like Scar.

[elmac]

17. they are the victums of no real news corporate networks. nt

[Cary]

18. +1,000

[Cryptoad]

19. there seems to be ,,,,,,

number of "sortof" Democratics who were Republicans four years ago. All I can say is Welcome to the Big Tent!

[Cha]

22. Turn them OFF!

[MineralMan]

23. Why do you keep listening to Joe and Mika?

I've never understood that. If you don't like what they're saying, just turn off the TV or change the channel. I stopped watching Morning Joe a long time ago. I have never found the show to be informative or helpful in any way. Instead, I check out news on the Internet and come to DU.

Morning Joe did not help in 2016, and it's not helping now. Instead, try some phone banking or other GOTV efforts. That will actually help.
