Is someone not allowed to point out the faults of the two people in a political race? You're allowed to criticize both without it being some fence sitter position. Saying Trump is old, oh and so is Biden isn't a "both sides" thing. In making it a contest of personalities and about unknowable private feelings, the article not just omits but distracts from what each candidate and their parties would do (and has done) with power. When abortion rights are wildly popular with the voting public, this sort of coverage muddies the waters such that Biden's stance is made weaker and Trump's stronger. --- Have you tried thinking rationally? <cite>Intro2Logic posted [p:979851485] in The New Yo...
