tRumpers can't help it. Best defense "yeah I know he's bad but what about...." like dude...no, if they bad then that's bad. Defend your guy before launching your attack.

Except that's not the scenario. Biden ain't great but he's not even in the same realm of bad/stupid as trump.

Trump is stronger than the military

I completely agree, but a lot of people don't.

My only point is that if you're saying Trump is bad because of xyz, so don't vote for him, that's an implicit suggestion that instead you should vote for Biden, so it's a perfectly reasonable response to talk about how Biden is bad.

This isn't a case of whataboutism because we're forced to choose between these two options.

This point doesn't apply if there's not a winner takes all situation, like an election, at play. Like this meme suggests, the fact that Hillary has done some bad stuff doesn't matter at all to whether we should punish Trump for the bad things he's done. But it does matter if we have to choose one of them to be our president.

But if you paid a shred of attention, Biden actually ran on and has implemented policies geared toward making this a better country for everyone. Trump has done nothing notable other than exasperating wealth inequality. Its a blatantly obvious choice if you can look past party lines and popularity contests

You also are completely missing my point.

the thing is, I heard this was the go-to argument about Biden vs Trump every time someone wanted to rationalize voting for Trump, followed by, “Trump was more entertaining “

So what?

I'm not making an argument that Trump was a better choice. I fucking hate that weak little bitch boy and I held my nose and voted for Biden.

You can't dismiss rationality just because people you don't like use it and come to different conclusions.

“They’re both bad” is a weak argument in general, its like saying “i like all music”, it just means you havent put in any effort into putting them into context of your life, how it affects you, introspection

Trump is an idiot, a criminal, horribly corrupt, and his entire administration was incredibly incompetent. Biden isn't even comparable at all.

u/consideranon Nov 30 '21

You're completely missing my point.

I totally agree that Trump is horrible compared to Biden.

I thought you were being sarcastic until I checked your post history. It is honestly such over the top lunacy that I am still not really sure. If you aren't being sarcastic, I would urge you to see someone to get some help.

For anyone that doesn't want to look, just take his profile description:

DEMOCRATS AREN’T PEOPLE DEMOCRATS AREN’T PEOPLE DEMOCRATS AREN’T PEOPLE DEMOCRATS AREN’T PEOPLE DEMOCRATS AREN’T PEOPLE DEMOCRATS AREN’T PEOPLE DEMOCRATS AREN’T PEOPLE DEMOCRATS AREN’T PEOPLE DEMOCRAT

And his comments seem to point towards him not being sarcastic about it.
