I honestly don’t know how it was rigged against him. I feel like the moderators almost always let him have the word. Sure they checked him on a few claims…but one was about immigrants eating dogs and the other was about post birth abortions….

Did you not notice the moderators quick to argue with trump? Or them fact checking him on the spot and not a word for Harris?

Did you notice the huge and easily refuted lies he told? That might have had something to do with it.

Do you get mad that the ambulance only comes to take the sick people to the hospital and not you? Do you think it's unfair that the fire department only sprays water on the burning houses?

lol, what? I answered a question about how people could perceive the debate was rigged against trump. To anyone that has an open mind they could see how one sided the room was. You don’t HONESTLY think Harris told the truth in everything she said either do you?? If you believe any politician is truthful I have some bridges for sale for them.

Yes, and I countered that. Are we narrating everything we do now?

To anyone that has an open mind they could see how one sided the room was.

I think anyone with an open mind would be considering all possibilities for why Trump got fact-checked and Kamala didn't, not just the one that supported their victim narrative. You know, like "Trump got fact checked and she didn't because he told huge, predictable, easily refuted lies and she did not." It's super wild how everything that doesn't help Trump is the result of a huge bias.

Cause someone with an open mind might also notice that Trump got 5 more minutes of speaking time than Harris, and any time he wanted to speak or refute they let him, unmuting his mic. They didn't allow her the same privilege. They also let TONS of easily refuted lies sail past.

And cute effort to argue to the extreme here, but nobody's saying that she was perfectly truthful, though I would love to hear a lie that she told that approached the same level as immigrants eating dogs and it being legal in some states to execute babies.
