6. "just go on TV and scream about it."

What "TV" networks do Democrats own?

THAT is the problem. We can't "demand" that they put us on or that they bring out a camera crew to cover our press conferences (and there have been many that the M$M didn't bother showing up to despite getting a PRESS RELEASE announcing the dates/times of them).

The only ones who will show them are the CSPANs (CSPAN, CSPAN2, CSPAN3) and although they have a YouTube channel, the stream is often delayed "from earlier", and if you want to watch it live, you need to be a cable subscriber (or other streaming service subscriber that offers it).

We won't spend money on buying media so that we can message without their interference.

We have one tiny light in this dark tunnel and that is one of Soros' organizations that bought the Audacy network last year (with over 200 radio stations and a bunch of podcasts/streaming programs). They are slowly restructuring it and have even prominently displayed their commitment to "DEI". The news radio stations that are part of it are in the top (by population) media markets to boot.
