While it's true most politicians lie or bend facts or report them wrongly, you can not create a false equivalence between them all. Trump lies egregiously and far more than basically any non dictatorial politician. Your stance reminds me of those who said both 2016 candidates were bad, so they didn't vote or voted for the two clown third party candidates.

The entirety of Hillary Clinton's campaign could be summarized as "it's my turn, orange man bad". I can't vote for that. In 2019 I likewise can't vote for open borders, "free money" for everyone, multi-trillion dollar ill-conceived "green deals", or "reparations", because I'd be the one paying for all this shit. Plus, _all_ democratic presidential candidates made the Charlottesville hoax the centerpiece of their campaign, so they too lie 100% knowingly about it.
