This will establish the public perception that there’s a legitimate debate over which candidate is the anti-democratic authoritarian.

It’s been eight years and most media outlets keep playing into Trump’s hands. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/02/us/politics/trump-iowa-biden-democracy.html?unlocked_article_code=1.DE0.v75w.dkSl02SLiQue&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
