But you’re saying that Trump and Biden don’t fit this definition?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes. It's called to "both-sides" the argument. And like arguing with a pig, it only possibly benefits one side.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It’s not an argument it’s a statement of simple fact. Neither Donald Trump nor Joe Biden can give a speech without mangling individual words, grammar, and general coherence of the point. They ramble, they confuse words, they mash thoughts together and jump around at random.

This isn’t “both sides”, this is “both of those Presidents”, and it’s a simple fact.

I think Trump and Biden say stupid things and occasionally make mistakes but I think they’re both fairly sharp.

I think Biden makes the better president by a long shot though.

I wonder if we're seeing a Russian troll farm at work here. It certainly looks like an attempt to get the attention off Putin, doesn't it?

I’m not a Russian troll farm, any one paying me would be wasting their money.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I was thinking of the guy you were replying to.

Makes sense. I'd be a horrible investment.
