...while not technically disproving any individual claim I made...

I love how libs constantly move the goalposts when presented with data.

You did provide several articles that, while not technically disproving any individual claim I made, make good points that the Biden admin is not entirely innocent on some of the topics related to the points I mentioned. Still, as I’ve probably said before, the difference in scale is important.

Yeah, it is important. While Trump is a 9/10 monster, Biden is only an 8/10 monster, who supports Trump, and helps him out with his projects.

    Literally how is that moving the goalposts? I said that while Biden did bad things, it was not on the scale of what Trump did during his admin, and presented a list of specific claims I said Trump did above and beyond what other admins such as Biden's did. You disagreed, so I asked for proof of Biden doing any of the specific things I claimed. You provided evidence of Biden doing many horrible things, like previous admins did, but did not provide evidence of him doing anything I listed. I've been perfectly consistent. Can you describe how you perceived the goal as moving?

    (Also, I'm not a liberal.)

    Yeah, it is important. While Trump is a 9/10 monster, Biden is only an 8/10 monster, who supports Trump, and helps him out with his projects.

    You are free to view it that way, but it would be unreasonable to claim that is the only way to view it in light of the many differences I pointed out.

    I literally posted articles explaining how he did the things you listed. I'm not sure how to make that any more clear.

    (Also, I’m not a liberal.)

    Then why are you supporting them, and fighting against people who are accurately pointing out that they are monsters?

    You are free to view it that way, but it would be unreasonable to claim that is the only way to view it in light of the many differences I pointed out.

    Yes, I am able to view it correctly. But it is not unreasonable, considering that you didn't really highlight differences. You highlighted things that Biden also very much did, as evidenced above. From what I can see, the "many differences" means "he killed, tortured, raped, stole and genocided slightly less than Trump".

    Ok, again, you are free to believe Biden and Trump's administrations are comparable, but as someone who had to live through both admins, they really aren't. You provided counterpoints which mostly did not address any of my claims, instead pointing out unrelated things I made no claims about, and made somewhat viable arguments against three of my many points-- still not actually pointing out anything Biden did worse, by the way, just things he did that were bad but that either aren't what I actually claimed (the immigration article) or that he did less than Trump (DB access, federal land). To say that this makes your view the "correct" one is ridiculous.

    Then why are you supporting them, and fighting against people who are accurately pointing out that they are monsters?

    Because I don't think it's accurate.
