THE PRESSES: STOP
ATLANTA --- ha ha, seriously cut it out atlanta news-medias you have illustrated quite clearly now the compromised nature of commercial journalisms. No need to further document the depravity of regularly purposefully leaving facts omitted from yous reporting to frame things a way which lands different than here in our reality.
longer not shall we have to watch~aslike a trainwreck~while we those supposedly informing us about important happenings in our world of much consequence to frame our sick society as something palatable but lacking the fact that we have majorly been brainwashed by capitalist misinformation messaging that our normalized hyper-waste consumerism violent hateful fearful society which foundationally is the exploitation of the poor for the benefit of the wealthy is at all defensible.
we could be having reporters speaking & respeaking truths about regular systemic injustice & inequality if our news wasn't so carefully marketed with the aim of profiteering ahead of moralistic informatations; which severely limits the scope of how & what is made "news" by editors with a perspective of business rather than one of responsible journalism.
this here campaign's metaphysical whirring newspresses stopped the past week not just because i was busy drawing like 400 wieners and such for an animation project; but to allow the cavity of that period be a marked reminder that i was at this junction extremely disappointed in our collective reporting on the 2021 elections. i justly worry that given lockdownery; we might see a lower information election than 2017; wheren the media failed to even mention a candidate(keisha lance bottoms) illegally blocking another(alex barrella) on twitter.
the worry on this campaigns side is that by conducting reporting on the 2021 election as piss-poorly as the 2017 one; we will again be allowing oligarchy unchecked & all too largely unspoken of. we will have another 4 years of hopeless establishment can-kickery as radical foundational restructurings like abolishing police / implementing a basic income /getting descendants of slaves reparations / fixing traffic lights to stop being so bad / strengthening labour law / eliminating homelessness & the housing crisis via giving a middle finger to the current greed based market via making one's own dwelling a right rather than a privilege.
we cannot hope to pass the above things with another establishment candidate who regularly acts to preserve status quo most hateful/violent simply because they either think there is supposed to be inequity or they just care about maintaining their own positioning where they hold power explicitly at the expense of the majority of people; who are oppressed as a function of keeping industry happy/growing.
furthermore; we cannot well hope to avoid another establishment executive if we don't work hard to create a more inclusive informative respectful election. i as a candidate in my position have to believe i can do it by myself because; heart-brokenly, ive seen my contributions & relevancy completely edited out of many a situation i am involved in.
other than some spots landed on cbs46 news we have seen virtually 0 mention in reporting on either election yet far of this coolgood campaign. my obscurity alludes me because i try so hard to not only be grounded+present but also sky-eyed and aloof, interesting & certainly worthy of consideration(im running for mayor of atlanta don't-cha-kno?) which makes it confusing why although i am very much working hard every day to not only create a well rounded set of goals / plans for shifting government radically to create something that works for everyone rather than for a few but also working hard to actually win this election by managing my own messaging & outreach initiatives. also remember i am running without accepting political donations because i am against money in electorialism; as i perceive it as yet another way the powerful can inequitably manipulate results to favor themselves at the expense of democracy itself(& those forced to live under the facade of it).
sure would be nice to see such words(or more even!) accompanying news pieces relating to matters of atlantas very important election on november 2nd 2021 where we can choose more of the same or something different; made much more likely if that 'something different' is even known about at the polls..
