    Complaining about the media coverage. They’re treating this like it’s actually a real race and not a clown show.

      I don’t like the coverage either, but it’s a double edged sword.

      It’s fairly annoying that it’s resulting in a ton of click-bait headlines, but it’s probably for the better in a weird way. Those same articles are the start of scaring people into voting. While voting is good, it’s difficult to justify the emotions it takes for people to do so. I just hate that is the way things are now, TBH.

        I strongly disagree. People recognize when they’re being manipulated, so they tune out the elections because the media is always trying to scare them and it’s all a dramatized clown show. It stopped being scary years ago, now it’s annoying.
