If I look in a septic tank, and it's full of shit... No one cares.
But if someone takes one little shit on the boss' desk, people want to talk about it for years.
This is why people talk about Biden's missteps more than Trump's. We know trump is a giant piece of shit, literally, it's trump's third election in a row, he's only been out of office 4 years, everyone knows who trump is.
But the entire point of Biden, is supposed to be that he's not trump.
So why should we excuse their similarities?
You’re always trying to say they are the same.
It’s easy to see the differences between them if you open your eyes.
He says in the comments section of an article that was posted to justify overlooking Biden's debate performance because Trump has similar evidence of cognitive decline.
"You're just saying both candidates are the same!" to all criticism from the left is inconsistent with "Biden's fine! See, both candidates are the same."
"Both sides" people claim there are no important differences between the candidates or parties. They say it doesn't matter who you vote for.
There are massive differences between the candidates. It does matter who you vote for. Did this article say differently?
And it's used by centrists as a catch-all strawman anytime someone complains about any specific issue in which there is little or no daylight between the parties.
But if they want to act like it's ok to have a candidate that loses his train of thought during a debate, then suddenly it's just fine because both candidates are like that.
It’s fine not because they are both like that but because Biden is the better person for this election.
The important work to do now if to get someone young and exciting in for the democrat nominee.
This is Biden’s 6th presidential election run (Source, and he has been a confirmed liar since at least 1988 Source, long time racist (Source). I do not understand how people can say Biden is their “hold their nose” choice, especially when my choice Chase Oliver (Info) is nowhere as problematic and actually wants change, we have a chance to change the system, especially since I know few people personally that support Biden or Trump (and those few who do support a candidate usually support Trump, haven’t met a Biden supporter that didn’t have a multitude of disclaimers), and looking into either one only makes a person hate both more. Just remember Trump and Biden have both been asked to step down and they both selfishly said they would not budge for anything despite every poll showing that anybody but Harris could replace either of them and win, and they both specifically asked to be only ones allowed in a debate. They want you to only focus on the most selfish literal bottom of the barrel candidates.
