Dems turn the tables on Trump's game against blue states. Should they weaponize state funding where they have power, against the areas that vote Red?

I am from US and I am seeing the same pattern of attacking the media of negative Green coverage as supporters of Trump here. Both left wing and right wing populism can’t take media criticism it seems. There is always a deep conspiracy because dear leader is a “danger to them” or “elites”. US Democrats are treated pretty negatively by right wing, even left wing media here but they don’t stoop to this level. They continued going on Fox and never called them “enemy” even after network broadcasted stolen election claims. As a liberal, that’s why I feel uncomfortable being alliance with left wing populism, it also has its “enemies” list. There will always be ideologically opposite media to one’s ideology with partisan attacks, the best is to handle their criticism wisely, than make them your enemy. Greens now have only 15% support, making enemies out of media won’t help them.

Unless left populists stop making enemies list, they are unlikely to gain support from liberals. That’s why many left leaning voters are still with labor or Liberal Democrats. Green should self reflect on why these left leaning voters are not still with them amid Statmer unpopularity and policy overlap. People like me can be potential Green voters, but some of the behavior from left populist leaders and voters makes it hard to do so. That is just my suggestion as a liberal, how you guys can win our votes.
