The political ads on television are truly disturbing and disgusting. With false information and personal attacks by both parties, why would anyone want to vote for either candidate? If you take the ads at face value, both candidates are nothing but lying, cheating scumbags!
Maybe it’s been this way, historically, but I don’t remember that it’s been this bad in the past. I remember when Ozzie and Harriet couldn’t be shown in the same bed together on a sitcom…now television allows outright lies, distorted facts and character assassination.
Joe McClash nailed it on the head in his comments in the Opinion section of this outlet, except both sides of the aisle need to step up. We need more politicians with Joe’s integrity.

Personally, I am tired of hearing "Both Parties" do it. They do not. Yes, there are negative ads put out by Democrats, but nothing even close to the malicious lies and smears of the GOP for the last 20 years. The current GOP are not even in the same plane of existence as those of us who inhabit a country in chaos, WW3 brewing, inflation forcing families to the streets, children watching babies, disease brewing; it is like they are inviting the Four Horsemen in the hope of their fantasies of rapture for themselves and screw everyone else. Somehow, I don't think that is how it would work, if it were actually a thing, but the chaos the GOP has sown for the last twenty years has nothing comparable on the Democrats side.
It is a false equivalency.
I am not saying Democrats are perfect, but when one of their politicians goes over the line, they don't ignore the issue.
There is law-abiding and there is corrupt. There are right and wrong. There is no equivalency between those concepts and there is no "both sides" are slinging malicious outright lies. Democrats are campaigning on ending corruption, dealing with the inflation by ceasing funding for the illegal war against Iran, ending his illegal tariffs, resolving Social Security/Medicare issues, and stopping the funding for all his millions of dollars in the reconstruction of D.C.
Please bring receipts before accusing Democrats of the malicious smear jobs we are seeing from the Republican candidates up and down the ballot.
