Unpacking complicated issues.
I don’t think anyone is using “systemic racism” to avoid prosecuting crime. Statistically, black people get longer sentences for the same crimes. DA’s should definitely be giving longer sentences for violent crime, across the board. 👍

AI can be a decent tool for fact-checking, as long as it’s also supplying credible links/sources for validation

Hehe, yep. And elections are razor thin these days -- every vote counts. We have to do better in the future.

It blows my mind how many people said that, and then self-righteously sat out of the election. Now they get to watch the genocide that they supported. 🤷‍♂️

Oh I’m sorry — I meant an example of Biden having a facade, like “he says X but he does Y”

Both you and the videos you posted used the word "facade" a bunch -- can you give an example of that?

So there's a million ways we could spin Biden's behavior into something bad -- but we have to reality check ourselves a little.

I think the main issue from those videos was just the bias. Whenever I think of bias, I think about a grandmother cooking somebody's favorite cookies for the holidays. If you hate that grandmother, you could argue that she's trying to kill you with obesity. But in the real world, she's just nice.

Always possible. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt -- I've had a lot of people be patient with me, so I'm paying it forward.

I'm not a Biden fan -- but this video really missed for me, because it's extremely biased. For example, they concluded that he was a narcissist because he had a white-house policy that staff members couldn't be disrespectful in the workplace. That's just good leadership, and protecting workers. 🤷‍♂️

Jimmy Carter is definitely a good dude. I'd love more presidents like him.

Google is a bias-confirmation machine -- it takes a lot of honest effort to not simply believe the first thing you see.

I'll watch these videos and get back to you.

Telling people to “do a quick google search” is always a red flag that somebody is drowning in bias, and disconnected from reality. 😢

I could give you countless examples of Trump being a narcissist — but if you don’t even have a single example for Biden, that should speak volumes.
