He has had companies filed bankruptcy. He has never filed. The two are not the same.

If she had take the anti-fracking stance. I’d make me strongly consider my vote. Fracking taints the ground water. To me that’s just stupid.

For a politician to take the stance of anti fracking would be political suicide. Thanks to Republicans money is speech , its become an incestuous game.

Would you say Harris's lie is as bold as trumps? One is splitting hairs the other is a fairy tail that is made to create division.

[–] wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not really; most Democrats would support a ban on fracking. At this point, never Trumpers would support the ban to stop Trump.

While I strongly dislike Harris, having clean water is important to me. Once you have contaminated the ground water, you are left with few options.

I think your missing the point, we're talking about Harris being a liar. And I am asking even though I don't see her flip as a lie. But for the sake of of it we'll say she's lying. Is her lie as bold as trumps?

Anyway CNN did a great job combing through the debate and fact checking here's an article/video about it

Trying to say which lie is more bold is a tad weird. A lie is a lie. Which lie do you think was more bold than Trump's?

Kamala lied about US troops being in combat. THey still are. Isn't that a pretty bold lie? We have people risking their lives and she is dismissing it?

I don't know too much about the troops in America, maybe they are all out or none or a few, statically incorrect I can forgive with margins of error.

Putting out facebook hit pieces strongly tide to polarisation I expect to hear from my boomer parents is ridiculous. This man is running to be the most powerful man in america and he can't disseminate truth from fiction from such an incredibly flawed source. I wonder what kind of sourcing does he do in his day to day for the rest of his information.

We have troops in multiple combat zones. It’s silly of her to claim otherwise and if she really believes there are none, she isn’t qualified to be president. Knowing where we at at conflict is a big part of the commander in chief.

Oh I believe Trump knows the truth from fiction. Just like I believe Kamala does as well. Both are trying to sway the voters.

really,so you believe his claim that migrants are eating pets? yes or no. and i am not asking in nuance. this is a strait and very serious question as the idea was put forward in a presidential debate.

[–] wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee -2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No idea. I don’t live there. Locals are saying yes. The government is saying no.

but trump knows truth from fiction. this must be true?
