    Please pick the appropriate response in the poll between Joe Biden and Trump. Also, make sure you pick the answer that reflects on your voting status. Feel free to comment/debate about the candidates in the comments but please keep it civil. Thanks

    Would you like to, maybe with less directed and harmful insults, explain why you don't like him? Personally, I don't see Biden as a better alternative.

    Is Biden perfect? No, he's a bit crazy. But Biden is more competent, thoughtful, compassionate, honest, and frankly capable than Trump,
    Trump has consistently showed all he cares about is himself. Trump is objectively unethical, immoral, and unfit for the office.

    Honestly, this is kinda shocking to me. Do you mean you trust him better to handle the economy and country's political issues? Or like trust him with what he says. Because based solely on facts I don't think we have ever had a President tell more lies than Trump has. I mean just recently he tweeted about the old man who was shoved down by police being a possible member of ANTIFA with absolutely no evidence whatsoever.

    He doesn't seem coordinated with himself and what he's doing. He says things that make no sense, stumbles through a lot of his speeches making it look like he doesn't know what he's talking about some of the time, and he contradicts himself (as Scout said, a little crazy).
    Will I be exasperated if Biden becomes president? No. Will I be overly excited if Trump becomes president? No. They both have their ups and downs.
    I won't be responding after this post because I really don't want to get further enveloped in political debates.

    I trust Trump to run this country better, that's what I mean (sorry if i wasnt clear)

    He says some stupid shit on twitter, ye, but IMO I'm fine with my president being a goofball on twitter if he's running our country well outside of that universe. The dude is a business man, and from the stuff I've seen/read (very brief stuff I may add, because I don't follow politics that much) is that he's done wonders for the economy and our status in the world

    meanwhile, I've recently heard Biden wants to disband the police or some shit like that? Idk the specifics, and even tho our country is in chaos because of police brutality and racism in general, disbanding the entire law enforcement in general would only make our society crumble

    ye, this is along what I'm thinking too

    This is an example of fake news and information pushed by Donald Trump on twitter. Biden never said he wanted to disband or defund police, in fact he said the opposite.

    Not trying to get too involved in this thread but you did just use CNN as your source 0_0

    although he does not support defunding the police try to use better more unbiased sources

    I would prefer Bernie over either of the candidates. Unfortunately, everyone knows Bernie would never beat Trump in a race... so here we are voting for the greater good.

    Going a to go a little off-topic here but yeah one of the more trustworthy news sites out there. Any major news sources such as NBC, CNN, CBS, and FOX News are reliable in most all of the information they provide. However they also all have biases and lean in a certain political direction. CNN leans left as does NBC, FOX news leans Right, and CBS is the most moderate out of all of them. But their political bias doesn't keep them from telling true facts. As billion-dollar corporations, it would be financially taxing if they knowingly spread fake news.

    The only time you should be skeptical of any of these news sources is in their interpretation of information and their own opinions. (Which is why their televised news is better to speculate as most of that is opinion-based and based on the commentator's political views).

    The main point is, CNN isn't going to fake a quote from a Joe Biden interview to push a political agenda. It's so easy to fact check this information and would again just be detrimental financially for CNN. Like I said new sources have political biases but none of them knowingly push out false information.

    Bad sources are like Wikipedia, social media, and smaller blogs and sites such as Infowars, which are controlled by individuals who don't have much to lose by publishing false information.

    Sorry just hate this whole #FakeNews shit. When most of the time its people who read the actual fake news from the sources I just listed above.

    I don't want to pick on you, but this line of thinking that is the most horrifying to me. People just assume what they hear is true and don't bother to fact check or read into it.
    Similarly,
    People just assume that imperfect media channel = fake news. Objective fact is objective fact whether or not CNN, FOX, or God himself reports it.

    Regardless of your country, you should take it as your responsibility to make your political preferences on objective facts and logic that stems from said facts. Actually look into what you hear.

    Media literacy is a huge issue in todays society where "information" isn't really vetted or sourced. Challenging yourself to actually understand what is going on is something that you should be striving for, regardless of who you vote for.

    ye, like, all my opinions and shit are based off stuff I hear. I don't like diving into politics because there's so much bias and shit, to the point you never really know what's true or not. If you read fox you're going to hear good stuff about trump, if you read msnbc you're going to hear nothing but trash about trump. like, I'm hearing all this stuff about hes racist, but ive yet to see something that explains why he's racist. everything is fueled by bias and social norm; say one thing, get it trending, and it's automatically assumed to be right (that's basically why i thought the biden thing about the cops was real - someone started a rumor, it got popular, so people automatically, like myself, believed it was right)

    if you wanna talk about the shit trump says then look at this LMAO
