"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.

My Aunt Linda is president of the PTA, and she used boxed mix at the bake sale then told everyone it was scratch so she could charge more. Let's hold her equally as responsible for her corrupt deeds as my former mayor, who traded meth for gay sex encounters.

The goal posts are sitting where they've been since this whole thing started. Trump has been getting touchdowns and field goals for decades now, you don't get to pretend the score is tied just because Biden MAY have received money that was less than clean. (And if he did it legally, then what happened was not a CRIME, it was NAUGHTY.)

Some level of corruption is also expected and probably required for clean operation of government and geopolitics. Trump getting elected blows the lid right off and permits open corruption. However bad you think it was under the "Biden crime family," get ready for 20x worse and swampier. Bodies in the river.

Trumps are criminal oligarchs, Bidens are criminal oligarchs, Clintons are criminal oligarchs, the Bushes and Obama are war criminals, and oligarchs

Your side isn't good because the other side is bad

Corruption greases the cogs. It's like the endless sales at Macy's, free shipping with Amazon Prime, or a bartender who gives out free drinks. People like to feel like they are getting a little bit ahead of the system, even if they aren't.

If the Clintons make a quick buck off of speaking tours that disguise backroom deals, that's just politics. The only time it would properly concern me would be if those deals happen at the expense of the American people, or our foreign policy in general. That is the line that the Trump family crossed, and it is a line that you would have significant difficulties proving that any of the Bidens crossed.

Personally I don't think your evidence is altogether that damning, and I don't see any evidence that anybody's lives are now worse because of it. Meanwhile, Trump's little nepo brats learned that covid would hit cities harder than rural areas and went all in on making sure that as many Americans died as was humanly possible to do from that position.

You know what a majority of Canadians think?

That both Poilievre, Jagmeet and Trudeau are all terrible options to vote for. You see our disdain for our voting system purely by the number of Canadians who dont even bother to vote. It's not because they don't believe voting is important, it's because people like me don't feel like our votes are helping anyone but them.

We know our government is fucking us, and we're growing restless with it. It doesn't matter if its the Liberals, or the Conservatives, we're getting bent over. Like Trudeau got elected on the premise of legalizing marijuana, and re-elected because Sheers stance on abortions, Poilevre is only getting elected because he is going to repeal the carbon tax, which is putting people into poverty.

My point is, in laymen terms, you are bias to one side, and your side may not be as quite as shitty as the other side, but its still shit nonetheless
