    You’re always trying to say they are the same.

    He says in the comments section of an article that was posted to justify overlooking Biden’s debate performance because Trump has similar evidence of cognitive decline.

    “You’re just saying both candidates are the same!” to all criticism from the left is inconsistent with “Biden’s fine! See, both candidates are the same.”

      “Both sides” people claim there are no important differences between the candidates or parties. They say it doesn’t matter who you vote for.

      There are massive differences between the candidates. It does matter who you vote for. Did this article say differently?

        “Both sides” people claim there are no important differences between the candidates or parties.

        And it’s used by centrists as a catch-all strawman anytime someone complains about any specific issue in which there is little or no daylight between the parties.

        But if they want to act like it’s ok to have a candidate that loses his train of thought during a debate, then suddenly it’s just fine because both candidates are like that.

          It’s fine not because they are both like that but because Biden is the better person for this election.

          The important work to do now if to get someone young and exciting in for the democrat nominee.
