HERE'S THE PROBLEM:. Trump is a decisive communicator but LIES. Biden tells the TRUTH but not as clearly and assertively. It's misinformation vs. democracy — the entire challenge of our nation in one debate. Ugh. #Debates2024.

Dear Republicans,. Worry less about your sons being “falsely accused.” . Worry more about your daughters being sexually assaulted — which is statistically waaaaaaay more likely — and then being mocked and smeared when they speak out. Sincerely,.Reality.

You have to admit, this debate isn't fair. Biden is limited by his desire to tell the truth, and Trump is not. Trump just says whatever he wants, most of it's untrue, and he doesn't care and hopes us voters are too stupid to know the difference. #Debates2024.
