There is one element that makes lying, cheating, hypocrisy possible, or extremely successful for progressive democrats.
The total control of media and tech. Without that, it would be far more difficult.
Media is 100% complicit.
The media is also why, as an above poster points out, there is no opposition. Slanted coverage makes for a slanted race.
America has no Free Press, without which, it cannot long stand. I suggest our Government figure out how it has abridged true Freedom of the Press and correct it.
