You amaze me with your level of stupidity. Everyone knows Trump is lying, almost all the time.
They’ve accepted it.
They don’t have any faith in any politician, however, so an arch liar to them is an honest politician. How do you miss this?
Biden is a senile moron, a stooge for one last failed attempt at keeping the neoliberal dream alive. Trump is a similar stooge, only you get some gravy for the fossil fuel industry and some tax breaks out of him.
There is no reason to believe in anything either party is offering. You’ve varying degrees of bankrupt concepts and bullshit.
America is still fine, but our politics are dead. Our political systems and economic systems are dysfunctional beyond repair.
I can’t call out “bad faith” anywhere because almost no one is operating in good faith. Bernie might be the only one doing so, and that’s why both sides of the aisle insisted he was illegitimate from the start.
The parties agree to argue about a razor thin delta of economic points that separate them. But that’s subterfuge. To distinguish themselves cheaply while serving their corporate owners they jump onto issues like race, sex, lgbtq. Social wedges are easy mechanisms by which to polarize the credulous, or those who believe the need to or ought to believe in something because neoliberal economics has left them feeling every bit the nihilist they are.
We’re a country of liars and suckers. On any given day, every man is both.
