The political debate should be won on the merits.
You should not have to lie to win votes.

I continue to believe, even among the worst of MAGA, that if Americans are fairly and accurately informed on an issue, they'll come down on the side of right every time.

But Americans are not getting fairly and accurately informed. They're being inundated with BS to incite them or to entice them make a decision that is not in their best interests or the best interests of the country.

What I'm seeing in social media is worse than ever.
