    It certainly doesn’t help that any criticism of Biden online, valid or not, is immediately met with “BuT tRuMp Is WoRsE!”

    Like, I get it, orange man bad, but if any discussion of Biden’s failures immediately devolves in to talking about the other guy, then opportunities to talk about his accomplishments are washed away by the people who need to be focusing on them.

    This isn’t just the media. The entire fucking conversation is always directed towards that dipshit.

      Understandable right now, because he’s an existential threat to the US, and will remain so every election until he’s either elected (at which point we’re done) or he dies.

        the threat is never going away, even if donald trump died after this election we still have losers like nikki haley, MTG, mike johnson, desantis (although no way he’d get elected to a meaningful position again), etc. to worry about. even if they don’t have the cult following of trump, they’re still big issues
