If the democrats are not post truth please explain how Coumo, the person with by far the worst material outcome in the coronavirus crisis, tops this list. To me, as an outsider, the democrats are post truth, but in a different way to republicans. They use talking points like "facts first" while they lie and manipulate statistics to match their worldview (see Kamala Harris votes 93% of the time with Bernie for an example of this).
"Well I mean, he did the best he could with the hand he'd been dealt."
If they acknowledge Medicaid cuts at all "he needed to free up the funds to attack Covid in other ways" (don't expect them to explain how that's supposed to work)

Easy: no one gives a shit about primary candidates until a week or two before they vote. They definitely don't give a shit about a candidate who hasn't announced anything because the primary is four years out.
He's a name people know, so of course he gets mentioned.
The media is pushing him because twitter slapfights with Trump sell, and because he's a standard-issue capitalist Democrat who isn't going to rock any boats if elected.

That's what I mean by the democrats being post truth, none of those reasons make any sense
Oh I wasn't disagreeing with you.
I know I was just commenting on the excuses, should have been more clear

Ok you got me there, still find interesting that the media pushed Coumo so hard when his initial covid response was a massive failure
