There was a debate last night between Tim Kaine (D) and Mike Pence (r), the candidates for Vice President.

It’s beyond ironic in our post truth society, even with instant access to technology which allows us all to easily verify almost everything, that the denial of facts and, you know, what is the actual reality merits style points from self appointed media gatekeepers if delivered in a sufficiently deferential and plastic manner. This same world view considers it extremely rude to point this out.

Someone on Twitter understands that:

Keep hearing Kaine is “safe” and “not courageous.” Here in Virginia he won statewide opposing the NRA, coal, and the death penalty. 8:27 PM – 22 Jul 2016
