Sounds good. I hereby volunteer to serve as the arbiter of truth for political campaigns.
- YeBanKo 3y agoWell, how do we know that your truth is truer than mine? There has to be a formal certification process. It can be called a “certified truth sayer”, and only those with such a certificate can tell us what’s true and what’s not. And to get certified you need to take a course and pass a test, which are managed and administered by accredited NGOs running on grants from the government and private entities.

- rqtwteye 3y agoDuring the whole election fraud situation a lot of republicans wouldn't publicly say that the allegations were nonsense although they privately knew that there was no massive fraud. So with truth standard I mean an ethics standard where it's just not OK to lie blatantly. Basically have some integrity.
