It’s time, this year, in 2019—as we gear up for another godforsaken presidential election next year—to get this right. There aren’t “both sides” when one side can’t stop lying. There aren’t “differences of opinions” when one opinion is repeatedly, provably false. And there’s not “debate” when the thing you’re debating is built on lies.

Because not calling a liar a liar is how we got here in the first place (I mean someone did and she got called "unlikable" for it—thank God we’re not going to repeat that) and we’re going to end up here again unless we all learn from our mistakes and change it up this time. It’s a new year! How about a fresh start?
