That's actually pretty straight forward. The other guy is seen as "morally good" so everything he does is also seen as good, even if if flagrantly breaks laws and human rights. Biden is seen as "morally bad" so even the slightest mistake is immediately seen and treated as blasphemy. It's how right wingers see the world as morally good and bad, with laws and justice there just to punish the morally bad. Facts or consistency don't matter.

I don’t know on what earth even trumps supporters think he’s morally good. Everyone knows he’s an asshole, and for some that’s a feature not a bug.
And biden is morally bad. He could of ended this genocide at any point and probably won the election in the process (or Harris) but nooooo gotta have endless war and liberal tears because they can’t figure out why they lost and are throwing a toddler temper tantrum at anyone who refused to vote for Harris.

Welcome to why singling out Biden and Harris for supporting Israel was so stupid. The entire US establishment supports Israel with few exceptions.

That’s not how you criticize Biden! THIS is how you criticize Biden!
Let’s all criticize Biden.
After all we can’t afford to let someone misuse the office of the president.

Can I criticize binder
-
I have binders full of criticisms. They're more like concepts of criticisms, really. But still, binders of them.

Why not both?

The reason why is because small crimes need to be punished in order to keep the plebs and peasants in line. Large crimes cannot be committed by little people. The most that you and I can do in terms of crime is maybe murderer someone, but someone in a massive position of power like Elon Musk and the (thankfully late) Brian Thompson can kill thousands of people with a stroke of a pen. But because there is some disconnect between their deaths and that pen stroke society doesn't call that murder. So they can go free while you and I would be executed or have to spend life in a small dank cell with nothing grey walls and pain.
It's also why many war criminals in Nuremberg had fairly light punishments and were often allowed to continue in positions of military and political significance after. The reason why people like Goering and Gobbells and Himmler would have been executed is less to do with their war crimes and more to do with the threat they posed politicially. They would never have followed what the Allied installed government would have wanted or changed their policies but would be undermining everything at every turn if allowed back into office. So they are done away with while the lower level chumps just got 4 or 10 years for killing who knows how many and then living their lives as normal.

While giving a pass to the literal crime syndicate about to take over the government.
No, the 10 million democrats who voted for Biden in 2020 but stayed home in 2024 cuz Kamala wasn't a good enough option did that;
Blaming voters is not the path forward for 2026, 2028, 2030, etc Nobody owes the party shit. They owe you results, or at least a concerted effort to deliver results.
Look at how the traditionally reliable voting blocs have eroded - older black voters who lived through the civil rights era remember that progress delivered by the left wing, and vote Democratic overwhelmingly. Younger black voters lived through George Floyd and BLM, and saw Democratic flip-flopping and a severe lack of commitment or unity - and are more receptive of Republican economic appeals, given that team blue showed them they aren’t a priority. If systemic racism or police abuse is not going to be addressed by either party, might as well vote for the one who promises cost of living relief and has made (cynical and performative) pardons to black celebrities who encountered legal issues. THAT is the mentality that got shouted down when black celebrities displayed a willingness to parlay with Trump:
Out right hatred is sometimes preferable to wilful ignorance.
Don't waste your keystrokes ITT
Liberals this past 24 hours have been more critical of trump for violating campaign tax filing regulations than biden violating international and us laws to aid israel in its genocide of Palestinians. I feel like I'm losing my mind.
