Day 2 of lies
The very first paragraph!
There were few false or misleading claims on the second night of the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday. Speakers generally made factual statements, told personal stories, expressed subjective opinions or offered uncheckable predictions.
thanks for the tl;dr !
Yet if you read it. You see the lies.
Yes, I see the ‘few false or misleading claims’. I’d be happier with no lies, I suppose, but the relevant contrast is not with the fantasy land where everyone lives by radical honesty, but with the Republicans, who lie constantly about almost everything.
Little bit shocked that Bernie Sanders was responsible for two of the misleading claims. Fully half of the, uh, four headings in the article: a ‘day of lies’, producing four (4) lies? Guess they weren’t working too fast.
The Project 2025 stuff IMO is fair game till Trump explains what he’d do differently. As far as I can see, it’s at least consistent with his plans. If he wants Dems to shut up about it, he should say which parts and which authors he rejects. He can’t just vaguely say, ‘That document that says I should be a dictator? Nothing to do with my plans to be a dictator’ and expect people to go: okay, cool.
The Project 2025 stuff IMO is fair game till Trump explains what he’d do differently He has. Agenda 47. That’s his plan.
Is that the one that 'Trump campaign officials acknowledge aligns well’ with Project 2025? Loads of the policies are identical, not just well-aligned. It’s fair game to point up the links between the guy and the document when his ex-staffers wrote the document and his current staffers acknowledge the similarity of the document.
He (or his staff) needs to tell people the actual differences, rather than vague disavowals.
To be honest, I have not paid a lot of attention to 2025 since it has nothing to do with the election. I know one point of difference is abortion. Agenda 47 is very different than 2025. I am pro-choice, so I much prefer Agenda 47

Socialists – whose system never works but destroys societies – lie?
Could not be, brah.
