OK. The usual shit. Our bad guy is better than your bad guy.

Both sides are shit.

Biden is 1000x better than Trump. At least.
You have to believe that something odd is going on between Trump and Putin at this point no?

In the article, he states facts. Are you saying those facts are manufactured?
I am saying you found an opinion piece that made you feel all warm and fuzzy in the confirmation bias from a guy who wrote a book that called democrats the party of death. So is it an honest comparison of the comparative worth and humanity of both individuals? NO. In a few paragraphs its easy to cherry pick a few things and try to create a false equivalency between two people that aren't. That is what you linked to: a piece of dishonest shit.

The author states things as if they are fact, anyway. Nobody cares any more than the Faithful cared about Trump's astounding dishonest back in 2016. Do you think Trump can break past 20K presidential lies & distortions before the inauguration? I know he's doing his damnedest, but will he make it? His record will stand forever, I'm sure. He's #1!

That shows Biden is a liar as well as dishonest? Yep I sure did. As far confirmation bias, I couldnt care less as Im not voting for either Biden or Trump. So I have no dog in this fight. I just think its entertaining that some people think Biden is the best choice for POTUS.

From purely a competence perspective I'd rather have anybody either party nominated in the last several decades. You think Romney would have let a pandemic ravage the country, destroy the economy, and seemingly have no plan whatsoever to get us out of it? I don't even like him but I know he's not insane or stupid. I'd give my right arm for Nixon at this point.

Trump or Biden. Of course Biden is the best pick, because he's the one who's not crazy as fuck.

Take this one right here:

In 2012, he infamously said that if Mitt Romney won the presidency, “They’re going to put y’all back in chains.” While the Obama campaign insisted it wasn't a reference to slavery, Republicans and Democrats alike interpreted it as one.

Sure, because Biden's phrase "put y'all back in chains" literally meant that he was saying slavery would be re-instituted, not the more general claim that civil rights for blacks would regress. "Back in chains" is a common figurative statement, not a literal one. Interpreting an obviously figurative statement as hyper-literal is a common tool of propagandists. If that is the kind of observation your conservative author is going to make, I have to wonder.

What he's really done is comb through Biden's 40 year career to find every questionable or false statement Biden has made.

Even if Biden really did lie each and every one of those times, we are talking about 1000:1 disparities here between him and Trump. The idea that you can compare a serial daily liar like Trump to any given democrat who may have lied a few times in his or her career is what conservatives have been doing since Trump's election.

Compare and contrast, please. Then get back to us with more of your both sides false equivalency bullshit.

Murder and jaywalking are bad.

Yep, just like telling 5 lies in 45 years is the same as telling 19,000 lies in 3.5 years are both bad. Equally bad, I assure you. Tell one lie and you may as well tell 20,000 more lies because it isn't going to make you any worse, right?

Just remember, if you ever told a lie in your life, you are exactly the same as Donald Trump. We're all exactly the same as Trump.

If you can’t determine the difference between the two candidates, then the problem isn’t with the candidates, or the two-party system, or politics as usual. The problem is with you.

Stop lying about not caring.
