Biden was ruining things when he was younger too. He pushed the crime bill and pushed to make student loans non-dischargeable through bankruptcy. However he's now forgiven since he pardoned a small fraction of the prisoners he helped imprison and forgave a small fraction of the student loans he helped build up. Most progressive president in modern US history!!!1
Nobody is saying Biden is great, I agree we could do better. So stop with the whataboutism. If it weren't against Trump, there might be more tradeoffs to talk about. But right now it's pretty much "anyone but Trump"
Any other poorly-applied buzzwords like "whataboutism" you'd like to apply? It doesn't stop with trump. Before trump was bush, and the message was "we gotta stop bush". It's not a "just this time" sort of deal. Democrats will keep promoting the shittiest candidates and then say that we must vote them in because the alternative is worse. It doesn't end.
Whataboutism isn't a buzzword, it's a logical fallacy. Its exactly what you are saying, "what about Biden though!" while completely ignoring the point being discussed, which is that we want an alternative to trump
It is a buzzword because people like you misuse the hell out of it. I wasn't even the one who brought up biden, I was responding to a post that talked about him. It's like you've never had a conversation with a human before. Conversations can involve more than one laser-point-focused subject.
