Yes, because any American you meet is very unlikely to be a supporter of what's going on. Most people's votes don't really seem to matter in the electoral college system, and our legislative branch hasn't... Tried... In several decades. Which is to say, his majority vote came from a minority of the population.

That, and the minority that voted for him are so goddamn afraid of the world and everything in it that they don't leave their communities for anything.

Can't wait for the Jan. 6 committee committee committee that'll eventually investigate this Jan. 6 committee committee

I'm surprised it got the first bullet point wrong, considering how spot in the second one is

Who are you calling an amateur, buddy? I can argue you under the table!

If the dems ever sweep the house and senate, I hope they pass legislation

I mean, it's pulling from MBFC and ground news, which are not both owned by Dave Van Zandt, and he doesn't work alone. Also, when compared to other fact checking organizations, MBFC performs well, from what I've read. Well enough that if you find their output uncomfortable, you should be second guessing yourself.

It's not really a bot's opinion though? It's reporting on salon in general, and letting you know that the reporting has a bias, which means generally, it might promote parts of the story that show Vance in a bad light compared to other reporting, and the. The Ground News link shows that reporting on this topic across several sources tends to be pretty non biased and factual. That's all good information to have, and saying otherwise means you want to let yourself be misled.

And everything other than joining the topic and the source is written by humans who are trying to keep people informed.
