Similar to fact checking the debate, the level of lying and weirdness is not remotely the same. People eating pets, and abortions in the 10th month, garner more attention than Trump left us with the highest unemployment since the Great Depression.Gil Dobie wrote: ↑Sat Sep 14, 2024 5:06 amI'm not comparing Trump to Harris, I'm comparing their media backing.

I’m not here to defend lying politicians. We could pull up some data and lie counts comparing Harris to Trump (several news orgs do that) and I’m quite sure it wouldn’t be close. But they all do it, including Harris. Campaign rhetoric and promises vs. action in office. That’s normal.
To try and compare any other politician to Trump’s dishonesty, criminal behavior, and lack of intellect is silly and you know it. Not everything in politics is equivalent. Trying too hard to be centrist (both sides do it!) is, similar to atheism, a religion unto itself.
Harris is: Man rescues cat from tree.” Trump is: “Three alarm fire in your town, set by terrorists. Suspects still at-large.”
