After Biden’s meltdown, the Democrats are hoping to reenergize people with a supposedly “progressive” pick for Kamala Harris’ running mate.

      Is it? These are not difficult facts to verify. For example, Walz is infamous for sending the National Guard in to stop the George Floyd protests, for example. As in, in the place he was killed, the original protests.

      I’d be happy to provide information if you’re having trouble verifying anything, though.

        I’m sure we’d all be better for the citations, yes. That might even be related to why such is SOP pretty much everywhere — except propagandist troll puddles, of course. That’s not this place, though, right?

            Can you show me that you actually found anything viable? Then, maybe you’ll look at the salient fact that OP’s lack of citations smacks more of non-zero confidence in said claims’ veracity rather than sophomoric ineptitude.

              My offer is to help you if you have trouble verifying anything. To me there is more than enough information to double check anything you would want to and I already knew much of the content just by being aware of things like the George Floyd protests.

              Let me know what points you’ve looked into and had trouble verifying.

                Your trolling is neither clever nor skilled. You must enjoy toadying for a propaganda bot, sweet cheeks. 🤷🏽‍♂️

                  No I’m actually willing to help you if you actually take the first step and have any interest in investigation. It’s really up to you to decide whether you care about learning about sourcing, or this topic.

      I found a citation for every single one of these easily. Which one are you struggling to verify?

      Surely, you…you know…did some work to verify your beliefs instead of sticking your head in the sand…right?

        Oh? Care to show your work, or are you more comfortable with making as-yet-unsupported claims like OP? 🤷🏽‍♂️

          Well, I’m curious which ones you tried finding any information on, and which ones were difficult for you? The one that is an attributed quote is especially easy to find. The one with the exact title of a news article is also very easy to find. And one is a reference to a widely publicized act he took in office during a series of nationwide protests about which many news articles are incredible easy to find with keywords. The last one is also very easy to find with keywords.

          You’re implying some of it is not true, I think. So what did you do to verify them, and which ones were you unable to? Surely you aren’t just pretending to care about misinformation but not putting any effort into verification yourself, right? Does that only go for facts you already like?
