if you are only allowed to criticize one side when they lie and have to ignore the other sides lie then you dont truly have free and fair elections

Its not that, its that one of them is 50x worse and they try to create the illusion that theyre actually similar.
And frankly i dont care about free elections anymore, as the GOP blatantly tried to steal the last one.

biden is literally claiming that he raised social security benefits for seniors the most in decades because SS benefits have been indexed to inflation since 1972, and he's seen the highest rise of inflation under his watch in decades, he's literally taking bad shit that happened under his watch and trying to pass it off as policy victories

my point is what he said was not technically incorrect, it's literally just standard political bullshit, it isn;t an outright lie.
You quite literally said :"under his watch" r-slur. Do you not speak english or what?
Do you want a free lesson on what ""under his watch" implies?

it is a lie, he did not raise SS the most in decades unless he also raised inflation the most in decades
Biden responsible for inflation -> Biden responsible for SS raises (but only because its mandated by Nixon's 1972 law)
Biden not responsible for inflation -> Biden not responsible for SS raises
logic isn't that hard

I don't think Biden did this, I think he's just being misleading. It's misleading, it isn't an outright lie.
benefits did in fact go up the most ever, the context is being left out.
This isn't the same as an outright lie.

it is exactly what leftoids would call "misinformation/disinformation" and if Trump said this he would be rightfully labeled as "false" by fact checkers.

Two geriatric, demented 80 year olds are running for president and your concern is that people might be making unfair comparisons between a right wing Washington dinosaur and a far right megalomaniac? Lmao, you neolibs are something else. This is the natural result of lesser-evilism, you reap what you sow.
