Something tells me this post is just going to fall off because it's not sucking Trumps dick.
Edit: Downvoted for calling out the circlejerk. No surprise there. This place is just Reddit Red.

It will fall off because its not the truth. Trump is lying his ass off, he's a candidate, to say Hillary lies much much less is fabrication and everyone knows it. They all lie, its what they do, Republican and Democrat alike.

Only when you fact check them republicans are lying much, much more!

Do you have an example of Bernie Sanders lying? I mean lying too, not saying something you think is wrong. I'm just curious.
Edit: I also find it funny that according to the chart, Bill Clinton lied the least.... lol

Tinpinion (tinfoil opinion, take with your own brand of salt) : Hillary lies the most, if not as much as Trump. In fact, I wish dodging/redherring answers could be tallied as lying by omission, then she'd be off the charts.

Downvoated for being irrelevant to the thread, discussion, or anything else.

Wait a minute, Atko says that Voat is centered on uncensored, balanced, and fair discussion, right? Or erm, correct?

It's why direct democracy doesn't work. None of us are as dumb as all of us. The most recent example being the town that banned solar panels because they thought it would suck up all the sunlight and kill the crops.

Fair and Balanced... Where have I heard that before?
