Yeah you're right but I think they're more concerned with their music being politicized. I know I would be. I can post one of the articles I did a quickie search on earlier if you'd like.

Good catch. I was 10 years old and not hugely into music yet. I never even knew this happened. Music labels were at peak douchiness in the 80's-90's. I still remember having to pay 20 bucks for a cassette or CD if I only wanted a couple songs off of an otherwise terrible album. Not everyone did widespread released singles. I remember when they threw fits over MP3's when those came out. They had to be dragged kicking and screaming to start using them for their releases.

I've asked this before, which democratic leaders would we consider far left and what policies have they enacted that we see today? What I mean is, who is at the opposite end of the spectrum from say empty G, Gaetz, Gym, Trump, and the bunch, because I just don't see it? I get it though, the far left are loud and obnoxious but they have no real power. Most of us ignore their nonsense as it is of no consequence. The same can't be said for the far right imo, as they a currently setting policy all over your country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same can't be said for the far right imo, as they a currently setting policy all over your country. Like I've said plenty of times in my posts. This all started because of the right. The Tea Party is and was the bane of political discourse. The left sprinting even further to the left was a predictable and direct response. We all used to talk about it on CDC when the Tea Party was on their rampage. I was once a left of center independent. Now, it all depends on who you ask as to where I would be.

That's so high schoolish. I wish they would push back on that moniker. Fox News further leaned into it and created "The Five". It's all so childish.

They need to be careful if that is their plan though. It could spark an intra-party schism. I have my doubts, but stranger things have happened. Like a reality TV star becoming president.

If Biden packs it in there will be aground swell of support for whoever succeeds him other than Harris. My hope would be that the DNC will throw an olive branch to centrist GOP voters so that Trump craters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
