'Right wing sources' are just lies at this point: white genocide, taxing rich people is communism, climate change isn't real, women don't deserve rights because god doesn't recognize them as human, more cops make society safer, more prisons make society more free, more gun sales make society safer, trans people commit every crime and are the cause of every economic failed policy, the global elites (billionaires) are going to help us fight the real global elites (college kids, moms).
Like idk man I just don't see a way anyone honest can make the claim that factuality is not politically aligned. If you want facts you have to bias towards facts, if that creates a political bias, that's a problem for politicians not people interested reality.
Once you start trying to pander to all political groups you've abadoned factuality.
I mean the problem with your critique is its dishonest: prominent right wingers like elon musk promote white genocide conspiricies. Every one of those fake ass conspiricies I mentioned has been stated by a prominent republican.
In order to "balance the scales" you have to embark on campaign of finding like online commenters or drunk kids on the street to get the same level of insanity of belief on the left. Then you have to pretend like actual prominent people are saying these things on the left. Which they aren't.
All you're doing is saying that you are willing to argue against reality in order to pander to liars and comfort them.
Excuse me but could you explain what an "open border policy" even is? Are you talking about visas for skilled labor? Is this something to do with migrant seasonal labor? Refugee programs?
What the fuck are you even talking about? There's not a single goddamn country in the world that meets the criteria for some definitions of "open borders" and other defitions are met by every single country on earth.
Supporting or not supporting "open borders" is not a political stance because there's no meaning to the words, its nonsense.
So what you're saying is "open borders" is used to describe a "feeling" you have about the border. Its not a factual description, its not an objective description, its an emotional invokation of a feeling you have regarding the border and like tourists from mexico or something.
You understood "open borders" is subject to wildly different interpretations yet you still used it because it represents what you want to convey the best: Your personal feelings.
There's no way to measure the following as they are weasel words for people's feelings because they represent goals or thresholds nobody agrees on and people can always say they're upset about them regardless of measurable outcomes.
There's way to measure:
Which measurable outcomes are you actually upset about?
