The American public has been completely duped by mainstream media in this election process. The Democratic campaign has been advertised as being between only two candidates and that is further reduced to race vs. gender. What’s mind-boggling about this is people are falling for it. The media has turned this into an emotional decision that will determine an American “first.” The issues are not truly being addressed, and polling, which is always performed using leading questions, shows voters as only being interested in the media darlings. Dr. King must surely be rolling in his grave, as this election is only proving that we have not moved beyond the issues of race and gender and still have no real equality.
