JFC even this fact-check ignores facts. A) The Democratic Party is not government. It is a 527 tax-exempt organization. There is no way “coup” even applies.
“Experts previously told PolitiFact that Democrats persuading Biden to drop out of the race for president doesn’t meet that commonly used definition”
Excepts the experts were talking about Trump’s claim that Biden’s win was a coup against him.
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
PBS copied PolitiFact’s bullshittery.

I just can’t even deal with PBS anymore. They are a ghost of what they used to be.
Now they don’t even present the facts, copy and paste other’s weak journalism and hide from scrutiny.
The journalists/newsroom is so scared of looking political they can’t even report the facts.
That isn’t being a newsroom.
The problem is TODAY what we tepidly call news, is actually opinion pieces stitched together with a sprinkle of news. Analysis?
Hah!
The days of deep insight are gone.
It’s “he said/she said, let’s call it a day” journalism.
Trump lies, Harris tells the truth and the journos job is to somehow make Trump sound reasonable. Or sane.
It’s never a deep dive into, “Why is Trump too Unstable to be President?”
Lazy couch fuckers. Too scared of Trump to do the right thing.
If MLK was alive today they would balance him with racist fuckers and ask, “Is MLK asking for too much?” and “Why MLK is Wrong about the US”
Not once would they write why racism is horrific.
Oh… yeah… there is no B.
You can tell when I write on my phone (99.999%) vs my computer (100 - 99.999%). 🤷🏻♀️
I’m so annoyed that people have to turn to experts to understand words.
“What do words mean? What do I mean when I say, ‘What do words mean’”
It’s like listening to philosophy majors on an opium high in college. Lots of nonsense pretending to be deep.
Ugh.
@feloneouscat it's particularly galling when the source of the statement actually used state and non-state actors to try to effect a type of coup.
