@davew if we’re just spitballing, just make it illegal for politicians/candidates to lie. I mean, if a pol makes an objectively false statement, then any citizen they represent ought to be able to sue them for like dereliction or whatever. Because looking at how many reporters are still on xitter, the level of integrity needed for reporters to brutally shutdown liars or racists just isn’t there. They need the clicks/engagement or whatever metrics they’re evaluated on too much.
