Calling out Republicans for lies and antidemocratic behavior is not "bias".

Science and history also has a bias that being people like them are wrong

These assholes are a drain on society.

They continue to do nothing but oppress and waste (steal) money

It’s funny, because they clearly have the idea in their head that Wikipedia is a single organization capable of an ideological bias. When if you take a single look at some talk pages, it would become clear very quickly that Wikipedia is built on people vociferously disagreeing and bringing sources to make the information presented ever more credible and unbiased.

I mean, we all know that reality has a well known liberal bias...

The answer to any bias in Wikipedia is to cite more verifiable sources, use better sound reasoning and update when newer evidence is found.

The answer is probably not the wishful thinking of one of USA's unrepresentative main parties. To learn about public misrepresentation in government check out a page from Wikipedia.

They don’t accept verifiable sources. A hundred peer reviewed papers don’t weigh up against a single dissenting voice if that one voice agrees with their views.

I remember a time when telling the truth wasn't considered bias by the Republican party. It was the same time when, "conservative speech" didn't mean lies, misinformation, and hate speech.

Must have been a glorious three minutes.
