No, if someone says X happened and it's demonstrably false, then it's a lie. If he says he never did/said something and there's video evidence of him doing/saying it, then it's a lie. That's fact checking. You're really grasping at straws to defend a man who has been accused of rape multiple times by numerous women (after pulling out women against Clinton and saying we should believe women), flat out admitted to committing sexual assault, openly mocked disabled people on TV etc etc, called the Coronavirus a hoax before being hospitalised with it. It's worrying that you and others can read that, understand what despicable traits they are and be like 'meh, this person is fit to be the face of our country, and the best that we can come up with, totally fit for office'.

woah. Easy now. The point being discussed was about the validity of fact checking and not about the defending of a man accused of rape which goes without saying is indefensible.

factchecking isn’t always necessary, you’re right. If the pen is red, it’s red. Simple. If he’s promising one thing and then the opposite (fracking) and it’s on camera then yeah, a lie. It’s also being used to verify less obvious instances. Both sides guilty of that

And down the rabbit hole we go. You cant just read something as fact checked and take it at face value. It’s not just a group of unbiased individuals making decisions on what is/isn’t fact. There’s connections, relationships and ties that are almost unfathomable. Fact checker is hugely funded by Facebook and Google for example who lobby and push agendas that likely end up in some way at the feet of Soros and his cronies. A whole other story.

Wow. That’s a big piece to move so early, alternative facts.

Like most places, large metro areas tend to vote for democratic, as they are much more diverse and progressive.

In the South, the rural areas are full of dumb, easily-manipulated rednecks who vote against their own self-interest.

The point being made was about fact checking, a very simple process that takes seconds to do in most of Trumps cases because he flat out lies about things you can find out in seconds and which he's been found to have done a million times. You're the one that shifted the goalposts by starting talking about FactChecker by Facebook who nobody mentioned, and George Soros conspiracies. You are repeatedly grasping at straws to defend this man, and given everything I posted in the post you just replied to, I cannot understand why.

Also once again, your 'both sides are equitable' argument is utter bullshit, and that's factual. The simple fact is, as evidenced repeatedly that Donald Trump is in a different universe when it comes to the regularity with which he lies. I don't understand your desire to lie yourself about the severity of what this man has been proven to do.
 
I don't think there are enough votes left to flip Georgia, but it'll be close. Would be bloody amazing if it happens though.

They must break roughly 70-30, which they are at the moment. Will be inside a few thousands either way.

After Fulton and the few blue surrounding counties, if we can get it down to 15k ish, I think we will make it. There’s enough in the Savannah.

Thank you. I haven't followed the electoral map there very closely. I will be now!

Edit: Politico now updated to just a 44K gap.
