    By your logic we should forgive trump too because his crimes were also in the past and he has made greater public spectacle to make up for his past than Biden has attempted for fear of pissing off aipac.

    But forgive me; his desire to run despite poll after poll showing that’s he’s likeability is behind trump but still refusing to to step aside because his own desire to be president is more important to him than letting the Democrats run on a better candidate is somehow ok in your book

      That isn’t my logic. That is you making a strawman.

        dismissing very real damage done to many americans by these actions simply because it was done in the past is strawman-esque and i responded in kind.

          Dumb actions that were in line with the majority of other politicians decades ago is not a comparable ‘in the past’ to trying to over overthrow the country three years ago and continuing to try to overthrow the country.

          It was a stupid point and you are stupid for calling is a good one.

            The morality of an action doesn’t change because of the number of people that agree with you. doing bad things is bad. people who do bad things and continue to do bad things and plan to do bad things are bad people. I don’t vote for bad people.
