The fact that someone can tell 1,300+ lies and be considered as a "great" POTUS by so many only because the next jerk told so many more tells you a lot about our political system and where we are headed regardless of who wins in 2020.

Politifact is not exactly unbiased.

[AguaDulce]

Yes!

We must vote harder!

Both parties are horrendously corrupt. However, the Republicans want to make money off from me, which I can decide to allow or disallow. They seek wealth. And since I really don't covet or care about what others have or do not have, their wealth or lack thereof means squat to me.

The Democrats, on the other hand, wish to transform me and my nation into a herd of zombies that thinks, believes, speaks, and does exactly as they dictate with no variation or deviance from their "scriptures." Essentially, they are trying to forge a hell on earth. And I want no part of that hell.

In America you need at least $950 million dollars in campaign funds to run a successful presidential campaign.

And our members of congress spend over 1/2 of their working hours calling people asking for campaign donations.
https://www.termlimits.com/congress-...sing-priority/

The average member of congress spends 30 hours per week soliciting campaign money.

We live in a country where only the super wealthy or those connected to the super wealthy can become president. And our members of congress spend more time soliciting political donations than on legislative work. We are ruled by the super wealthy and congressional puppets who's job it is to beg wealthy people for campaign money.

Both of our political parties suck.

I'm new to politics.
I'll ask the President for expert opinion.
