Can we stop falling for misleading, inflammatory media spin against our candidates? [View all]

There's no Biden/Ukraine scandal nor did he cross a picket line.
Harris didn't put marginalized parents in jail over their children's truancy.
Warren is completely likable, as evidenced by live crowds' reaction to her.
O'Rourke has substantive policy ideas.
Buttigieg didn't say that peoples' identities don't matter or that they don't have a huge impact on their lived experiences.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
