Right wing media: I care about you! Vote for me and I’ll fix all your problems by kicking out immigrants and making everyone pay tariffs!
Left wing media (like lemmy): I don’t represent your interests, our democratic structure will prevent your views from being represented, nothing will ever get better. I am, at best, not as bad as the other guys.
Where’s the excitement and purpose and sense of possibility?

Yep.
The left wing seems to have amnesia about… Obama/Clinton… they actually offered voters something to vote for.
