You and everyone else who's seen them know: these presidential debates are a JOKE. Just straight up biased towards high impact cuts for people zoned out of their minds on echo chambered social feeds

I know. Doesn't change the fact he said it and went viral on social media two days before the election. Whatever it is he was trying and failing to say, I seriously doubt he's going to recover from the attempt.

I wouldn't put much stock into the "fact checking" newspapers that AIs are sourcing truth from either. Those are all known to be biased towards him. They'll do everything in their power to paint him in a favorable light.

These are post-truth comments. You don't care about how things really work, you just care about winning over the other post-truth incompetent. It doesn't matter if you are right or left, this stuff is what is sinking the world.

I do care about how things work. It's a fact that this viral stuff could sink him when election begins in a few hours. It's also a fact that these leftists totally hate the "fascist" police and want to destroy it. My honest opinion is he merely revealed his true colors in public, but if you think otherwise I'll respect it.

By how things work, I mean the truth of how things work. The truth is that he didn't mean to abolish the police. But you repeated that as if it was true. You spread the "viral stuff" and then in the next comment you say that it's a "fact" that the viral stuff could sink him. Your words are all over the place - post truth. The reason this is a problem is that the truth is out there and it bites hard when the post truth people govern based on fairy tales.

Doubt. See my other reply:
