    As for this whole biased thing--again, having an opinion is not the same thing as being biased. I have a very clear point of view, as you've noted, but I try really, really hard to look at the broad facts of a situation and to stay above petty insults and gut reactions. I'm hardly perfect, but at least I try. I wish the other posters here would try to do the same.


    Even Politifact acknkowledges what you won't. And it says fact right there in the name!!!!!!!11

    Gosh, that must explain the "shellacking" per Obama's own words, that they took in 2010, when Obamacare was an actual key issue, right? Which was a much bigger flip than the 2016 midterms.

    No, you tap dance around anything that answering directly/honestly would make your side look bad, you latch onto anything negative about Trump while ignoring anything positive, all while claiming to be objective.

    It's ok to be biased. Just stop acting like you aren't. Or if you truly believe that you are unbiased, then you're lacking in self-awareness. It's ok though, that's a very common trait of people on the left, so you're not alone if that's the case.

    Let's not forget how democrats also quietly snuck in taking over student loans entirely with Obamacare too, while people complain about the rising costs of tuition at ridiculous rates and how terrible their monstrous student loan debt is.
