Why is that? Because Biden is truthful? Because he won't be tweeting 10 times a day? Because the media will (effectively) do the tweeting for him? Because the media will simply not challenge him, and ignore his critics?
All politicians lie, or perhaps to put it more charitably, they promote a very one-sided point of view. It's almost the definition of politics. The only reason anything will change under Biden is that many of the people with the biggest megaphones support him.

- AlexandrB 6y agoThe nature of the modern right is a perpetual persecution complex. It doesn't matter that we just finished 4 years of a republican president with two of those years including a senate and congressional majority. According to their rhetoric they're still the voiceless, powerless underdogs persecuted by "the system".
- throwaway201103 6y ago"Vast right-wing conspiracy" It's politics, as I said. Two sides of the same coin. It's not a right/left thing.
- loopz 6y agoExactly. People get lost in ideology, and lose their principles. Left is just a reaction to Right, and vica versa. Both parties hostages in a two party system of stalemates. These political axis are defunct in the rest of the world too. They serve only the purpose of career politicians. And no, the "rebels" aren't the "final solution"..
- nostromo 6y agoThere's no question Democrats have a stranglehold on our education system, news media, Hollywood, and all major tech companies. That's what drives the feeling of frustration -- of being voiceless. (The left has rightly told America that representation matters, but it only seems to matter on identity axes. Meanwhile 50% of America has no newspapers, few schools, no social networks, few entertainment options...) Besides, there is no shortage of left-wing persecution complex. It underpins so much of the woke movement it's been given it's own neologism: grievance olympics.
- loopz 6y agoIf it's a call for platforms for lying, it is not welcome.
- throwaway201103 6y agoI don't see how you come to that conclusion. I didn't in any way say that Trump has not had his voice heard.
