That's actually pretty straight forward. The other guy is seen as "morally good" so everything he does is also seen as good, even if if flagrantly breaks laws and human rights. Biden is seen as "morally bad" so even the slightest mistake is immediately seen and treated as blasphemy. It's how right wingers see the world as morally good and bad, with laws and justice there just to punish the morally bad. Facts or consistency don't matter.
I don’t know on what earth even trumps supporters think he’s morally good. Everyone knows he’s an asshole, and for some that’s a feature not a bug.
And biden is morally bad. He could of ended this genocide at any point and probably won the election in the process (or Harris) but nooooo gotta have endless war and liberal tears because they can’t figure out why they lost and are throwing a toddler temper tantrum at anyone who refused to vote for Harris.
He speaks about their issues and is on their favorite side. Unfortunately that's all it takes for many.
I mean, that's kinda how democracy is supposed to work right?
That part, yes. The "won’t have to vote anymore" part certainly was not. Let's hope that's just one more thing he lied about.
So essentially you're saying the problem is Dem voters have standards...
And the fix isn't Dem politicians who meet those standards...
Instead you want Dem voters to throw away their standards?
You realize that leaves America with two options that are morally bad?
I don't think you realize just how many votes Dems leave on the table by only aiming to be a little better than Donald fucking Trump.
The standard for a Dem candidate should be about what Dem voters are willing to vote for. Not just being a better choice than the republican. We keep trying it and it keeps not working. So why not try a better candidate who will be a better president?
What's the point in settling for someone less popular with Dem voters because the only other choice is a literal fascist?
Sure and look where all the dem voter standards got them.
Wait, you think Biden/Kamala met the standard of Dem voters?
It's a two party system. Aiming a little better is all that's needed. The system with campaign funding also doesn't allow for much better.
Is that why Kamala is the incoming president?
Because I could have fucking sworn it literally just didn't work...
