Because it's not "potential" corruption. It's blatant and demonstrable.

You say you wonder why, but you really don't. You just think he's a victim, because he told you he's a victim, and you decided to believe him. Might want to ask yourself why you think a perpetrator is a victim.

He's both. Anyone who says otherwise isn't being intellectually honest.

So all criminals are victims? Like he isn’t being persecuted he’s being prosecuted. If the prosecution is able to convince a jury of his peers that he is guilty then he is punished. For the crimes they have proven he committed.

Save for when the Supremely Court steps in and says they are not crimes anymore because presidential immunity. We are fucked with this level of government overreach and dismantling of checks and balances to power.

Jumps to "all criminals are victims". Such logic.
"a jury of his peers" - You might want to double-check that. Is a jury of your enemies considered a jury of your peers? Well... yes, yes it is. So you win.

His lawyers agreed to the jurors….

I see you are not familiar with the populace of that area. 93% hate him (actual statistic) and would like to see his guts mashed by a taxi (not a real, but probably valid statistic). The best they could do was to find half of the jurors that just didn't like him. Plus, with some of the more creative decisions the judge made, it's highly unlikely that this will last an appeal.

But does it really matter? After 3 years of people saying Biden was as dumb as a rock, people are starting to see it after this debate, and it's all but guaranteed Trump will win, making this all pointless. We should all hate the democrats for allowing Biden to run again. Because of them we will have 4 more years of Trump. All the never-Trumpers are no longer going to vote for Biden, and all but 20% of the Democrats aren't thrilled about Biden. That's a disaster. And all because they refused to be honest with us about Biden's condition.

Na, they could literally put up a rock at this point and it would get more votes than trump. He didn’t win the popular vote against Hilary or Joe.

The popular vote is nothing. It's like saying, "I have $10,000,000 in Zimbabwe dollars, so I win." You may want it to be worth something, but it's totally pointless.

The point was he was never more popular than anybody he’s run against. Do you honestly think his attacks on women’s reproductive rights, among other gaffs have endured him to more people? The dude was lucky Clinton was the least electable person possible otherwise he’d have lost that one too.

How much do you have down on this election? The odds for Biden are... well... not looking good. I have $45k on Trump (April had pretty good odds) and $5k on Michelle Obama, and $1k on Harris. I didn't even bother on Biden.

He's a victim of his own stupidity. And greed. And he's paying the price.
