Who is to judge if Biden is actually trying to solve the problem? He said something that was false, that's misinformation. How do you know he didn't know it was false when he said it?

> Who is to judge if Biden is actually trying to solve the problem? I am. It's the difference between advocating or taking specific actions to address a problem and reflexively arguing against and resisting every action proposed. > He said something that was false, that's misinformation. Misinformation does not simply mean "false statement." I'm no dictionary writer, but it has strong connotations along the lines of "misleading to bad ends." > How do you know he didn't know it was false when he said it? Honestly, I don't give your report much credence, so I wouldn't go so far as the say he even said what you claim. Given the presentation, I judge there's quite a high chance he either said no such thing, or your report is distorted (like through a game of telephone). And even if you did quote him correctly, your line of questioning gives the impression of either being sophomoric or deliberately obtuse. The most reasonable course of action is to leave it up to you to figure out how to evaluate (without telepathy) when something is honest misstatement vs a deliberate lie.

  Trusting what politicians say at face value is so naive I don't even know how to respond to you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP_Uuj_ABew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP_Uuj_ABew

    > Trusting what politicians say at face value is so naive I don't even know how to respond to you. Is that what you think I said? I said no such thing, and I didn't even say anything close to that. >>> How do you know he didn't know it was false when he said it? >> The most reasonable course of action is to leave it up to you to figure out how to evaluate (without telepathy) when something is honest misstatement vs a deliberate lie. > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP_Uuj_ABew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP_Uuj_ABew So, honest misstatement or deliberate lie? Also that link is crap. Chronology is important, and when you link to some rando's video with 500 views, it makes it unnecessarily difficult to determine the actual date of the event.
