    That’s not what I was talking about at all. The point is that the media constantly focus on Biden’s slip-ups whereas they try to normalize Trump’s obvious madness. It is of course perfectly legitimate to question Biden’s suitability as a candidate and I do believe he made the right decision to step down. But anyone who thinks Biden is unsuitable but Trump isn’t is either a liar or a moron. Or both. It’s usually both. And the media that promote this false equivalence are enemies of US democracy.

      Who is “normalizing” trump?

      Criticizing Biden made sense because there was a chance Biden’s donors would listen and make him step down

      That did work.

      Calling for trump to step down won’t work, because his main donors are foreign governments trying to cause chaos, and if he drops out, he’s going to prison.

      And that’s not even getting into if trump steps down…

      That only helps Republicans and hurts Kamala.

      But anyone who thinks Biden is unsuitable but Trump isn’t is either a liar or a moron.

      Who is saying that?

      Why are you listening to them?

      Like, you’re complaining about “the media” but all of them except right wing echo chambers have been saying he’s unsuitable for almost a decade now…

      Can you name one serious media organization that is doing what you’re complaining about?

          That’s a link of people claiming it…

          Not an example of any major media organization actually doing it…

          Like, Vance keeps saying immigrants are eating pets, showing me a bunch of people saying immigrants should stop eating pets doesn’t prove anyone is eating pets…

          Does this make sense?

            How dense can you possibly be? It’s right there in the link. The New York Times has been habitually normalizing the incoherent nonsense that trump says by completely rewriting his statements to be more coherent.
