I really think you need to recalibrate your political scale if you believe there is any “far left media” in the USA that has any kind of meaningful mainstream reach. It’s simply not the case.
I disagree. Online mainstream media seems to be operating like a polarizing algorithm, focusing on maximizing the engagement. And more traditional media is following that as well, since this is now the mainstream.
So I'm in the Philippines. These things have far-reaching effects outside of the US because of the dollar. This is why Filipinos (and Latinos, and Muslims) love Trump. A female Filipino business owner gushed to me a few hours ago (awkward!) about how she's happy because now she'll be able to afford to fuel her car (gas/petrol is notoriously expensive in SE Asia for most people).
Point is, business, markets and consumers vote their interests. Look at Wall Street, Bitcoin, &c. in the hours leading up to the election.
Bitcoin is interesting. So far it had been responsible for a lot of waste of manufacturing mining equipment, completely unnecessary CO2 emissions, a lot of fraud and money laundering. And now we add to the record of Bitcoin some dark money donations from crypto companies to support Trump campaign. Without any way to track, if the funds were originally coming from Putin or not. Great.
