Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : You only have to watch Trump and his media backers for ten seconds to see how far society has fallen since then.Where the Left respect the institutions of truth - science, education, expertise and the justice system - the Right seems to care only for religion.
36% : This false equivalency hides the truth of the matter, a truth you hardly ever hear anyone admit.Telling the truth about Trump has never been more importantIf journalists are not going to accurately mediate politics for their audiences, what is the point of journalism?Left-wing politicians, media and social media users are not equivalent to those on the Right for two reasons:Right-wing politicians, mainstream media and social media users spend a lot of time attacking groups they oppose, particularly marginalised people.
20% : Even the word "polarised" suggests that the people who are polar opposites - like Harris and Trump in the debate - are equivalent to each other, equally misbehaving, equally chaotic, combative and heated.
