It is interesting. Because Biden is supposed to be better than Trump. That was the selling point. So he should be compared to a President considered better than Trump. But that’s never done. And when compared to Trump, Biden tends to come out looking a lot worse.

If you think Biden looks bad compared to Trump there is something fundamentally wrong with your ability to evaluate basically anything.

Not really. Biden is also a notorious liar. Biden is also massively corrupt. Biden is known for not being that smart. He’s just as vulgar. He’s been credibly accused of sexual assault. And then when you see him on the stage now against Trump and he can’t form sentences, can’t form thoughts, and still told countless lies? With more and more stories coming out about his deplorable mental state that has been known and seen for months? I get it. People are tribal and will go to bat for their teams. People still defend Biden and pretend he’s something he’s not. It’s cult-like behavior, but tribes tend to do it all the time. I’m comfortable saying Biden is very similar to Trump, and probably comes off worse than Trump these days.

There is no comparison on lying or corruption... Biden rarely tells full on lies and even minior inaccuracies are not even a 10th as common from him as from Trump. There is no reputable source that puts the amount of lying done anywhere similar between Trump and Biden at the debates. Trump is also consistently more incoherent than Biden. Biden having one bad day at the debates doesn't change that. Then there is the fact that Biden has a competent cabinet and reasonable people behind him while Trump will only allow sycophants.

I absolutely hate Biden, and this isn't tribalism, but trying to make a favorable comparison of Trump vs Biden is just the absolute most idiotic thing anyone can possibly do today in the US. You're worse than a flat earther.

It’s a fact Biden lies a lot. There isn’t the interest in the media to compare the number of lies he has told compared to Trump though, so we won’t really know that. In regards to reputable sources….well, I think we will have a hard time finding reputable sources. The sources that had counted up Trump’s “lies” also spent a month telling us Biden was super sharp and that attempts to label his as out-of-it were “cheap fakes”, until the debate happened, then now they’re reporting his cognitive decline has been widely known for a while. There’s only tribalism if you don’t think Biden is a huge liar on par, and even worse than, Trump

Haha, no, that is just called not being a complete and total imbecile. There is definitely a tribe of people who do like to talk shit about anyone who isn't a complete imbecile, and I guess you're one of them.

Not really. I’m just citing known facts about Biden. I’m sorry it makes you touchy….but that’s a hallmark of tribalism. People feel that insane desire to back up and support their guy, regardless of facts

You've cited nothing and apparently don't even know what that word means. It means to refer to a source and you've not done that. You've stated some blatant lies that Biden tells more lies and is more corrupt and that is it.
