    republicans have a lot of those, so many that Facebook just said no one is allowed to fact-check Trump's posts

    then again, why bother, if Trump says it, it's probably a lie

    "Facebook reminds employees: You can't fact check Trump now that he's running for president"

    https://mashable.com/article/facebook-wont-fact-check-trump-2024


    yet when democrats tested this by posting false news themselves, facebook deleted their posts

    "Facebook kept removing his fake Green New Deal ad, so now he's running for office"

    https://mashable.com/article/facebook-false-green-new-deal-ad-removed

    ""When it came to the false Green New Deal ad, however, the social media giant took the ad down not once, but twice. The second time it was run by former U.S. Senator and 2020 Presidential Democratic primary candidate Mike Gravel’s Facebook Page.""

    then they still deleted it, guess facebook only thinks it's ok if republicans lie?

    Not my conclusion. It appears that unobstructed dem control makes life worse for those they claim to care about.

    Historical data shows this isn’t the case. Looking at stock market gains, deficit growth, trust in government, employment — all are better under Democratic presidents than Con ones.

    Those the Dems claim to care about so not own stock. You are free to believe that the presidents are gods that tap their staff against a rock and say "let there be jobs and growth" It takes a religious type of blind following to give a party credit for the labor of others.

    I have not stated a belief, I stated data.
    But I understand why you would need to ignore that

    I responded directly to your misleading example designed to give politicians credit for the work of others. Which party has the best weather?

    You are incorrect. Cons are no better. Thanksgiving did cost more. The dollar is weaker, and the fuel from farm to market is higher. Of course, food and energy are not factored into the rate of inflation. Theres some more data to ignore. Thats okay, it only affects those Dems claim to care most about.
