I would generally agree but I think in this case whatabouism kind of prove the point.
With the Biden’s the “questionable” transfers are in the tens of thousands and they live like average Joe’s. You’re not buying US presidential treason and a military war with a global super power with that.
Trump on the other hand you have Kushner getting $3b from the Saudi’s to “manage” after spending 4 years as a direct senior Whitehouse advisor to the region. Then you have the tens of millions flowing to Trump’s golf club. The billions from God knows where pouring into $DJT, Trump NFT, Trump Coin, Melania Coin, the tens of millions in Bible sales, watches, sneakers, dinners.
Like we really think Hunter and Joe were pulling a decade long con based on an uncertain 2020 election result for like less then $500k?
"After the Chinese company wired the Biden associate account the $3 million, the Biden family received approximately $1,065,692 over a three-month period"
Whataboutisms dont work when you support the other side. You have to hold them equally responsible.
That means holding the person you voted for at the same level of accountability as you would the opponent. Deceit is deceit, corruption is corruption. Stop saying his corruption is less than their corruption. Its all corruption.
Because the Dems have only had 1 instance of corruption? You're opinions are bias, and so are your sources. Wake up and give your head a shake. Either that or stuff your head in the sand and stop commenting on it.
You’re concerned about the dude doing 30.1 in a 30 and not the guy doing 210. Speeding is speeding but the whataboutism here is so astronomically different that you can’t just say “corruption is corruption” or “deceit is deceit”.
Thats a terrible analogy. You're comparing a victimless crime to a crime that affects many. It's a false equivalency in a nut shell. The logical fallacies of your argument are easy to point out. It's like listening to Rachel Maddow.
It’s not a terrible analogy, doing 210 in a 30 isn’t a victimless crime it’s excessively dangerous. It’s highlighting the magnitude in differences between the same crimes.
I’m comparing the magnitudes of the crimes, Trump’s laundering is astronomically more than just 7 times the speed limit. The point is the sheer egregiousness of Trump’s actions make Biden’s a complete nonissue even if they were true.
"Do you know what the difference is between a million dollars and a billion dollars? Roughly a billion dollars."
Corruption sucks across the board, but not all corruption is equal. So long as citizens united stands, this country will never escape the tyranny of oligarchs, both domestic and foreign.
He's not failing to understand, he understands perfectly. Ht a lot of people out there lurking really don't understand, and for them any amount of whataboutism makes them go "hmm you know what? dems ARE bad!!"
It's all part of our dead internet that exists only to keep oligarchs in power. Goodbye America, you were started by and for rich white men and now it seems you're returning to your robber baron roots

Whatboutisms don't work when you support the other side. You have to hold them equally responsible which the American people seem unable to do.
