why does the media refuse to acknowledge people who didn't vote for drumpf exist?

This was a pet peeve of mine after 2016.......... every voter "roundtable" and "man on the street" interview was always with drumpf supporters. It was like people who voted for Hillary didn't exist. Now that he's lost, who is ABC doing a roundtable with? drumpf supporters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE EXIST TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that anyone who's smart enough to put their pants on the right way and tie their shoes would vote for Trump. These people get interviewed because the phenomenon is so inexplicable. If a reporter asked me why I voted for Biden, my response would be something like, "Well, duh! How could I not vote for Biden? I'm neither stupid nor crazy!" And that would be the end of a not very interesting interview.

Discourse sells. And it is after all a for profit industry which is always chasing the next shinny object.

Got a ton of Medical Killer Drugs to sell or Ambulance Chasers needing Clients to fleece.
