but also this is a bit of a false binary, truth and lies arent all we have. half truths, misleading truths, and even (my fave) truths only uttered to distract from other things, like "were having a really bad flu season". true, but only said to downplay corona.


I was careful to avoid the word 'lies' in my previous posts. I just said that they support a false narrative ( "things are fine" )

that is some military grade false equivalence right there. your 'totally not a career politician, that's why we support him' leader repeatedly lying about the severity of a global pandemic is excused by 'politicians just lie, that's like their thing, this is fine'... there is no cure to that level of delusional apologism i guess...


MY? my what? That quote does not reflect anything I have ever said.

I'm saying that all politicians are untrustworthy. I never said that Trump was more trustworthy than others. In fact, I explicitly said that he was not.

You keep trying to project positive sentiment toward Trump in my posts when in fact my words express only negativity toward him.

you explicitly said "equally guilty", and you're holding a response to a global pandemic, a really severe crisis, to the same level as what? some unkept campaign promise? sorry, but that is just ridiculous...

My answer remains the same, i want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. if it causes mass hysteria, so be it.

im never going to look at a liar potus and say "well they all lie, and we know they all lie, so its cool". fuck, that.

Who isnt? The entirety of Western and Central Europe is under a more or less strict form of shutdown, as are most parts of the U.S. as far as I can tell.

The politicians haven't changed their behavior. Both sides are prioritizing their political rivalry over making the proper decisions to run the country. The debate over the stimulus proposals are just as childish as every other conflict they've had on less important issues.
