This can't be true,

Trump is a convicted rapist and known criminal that emboldened domestic terrorism.

Biden is actually doing a great job.

These two things are not equal.

    ....but, but, but Biden told those railroad workers to go back to work so the economy didn't collapse, so you know, he's just as bad as Trump!1!!

    /s

    I guarantee you that topic is going to come up more than a few times over the next few months from people who never intended to vote for Biden either way and instead are cherry picking bullshit topics to help sway others.

    And we have to be ready to counter with the fact that Biden continued to put pressure and ultimately got the rail workers their sick days.

    Trump is a convicted rapist

    This is factually inaccurate. I'll agree he is likely a rapist, but he was never convicted of rape. He was found liable for sexual abuse in a civil trial, but he was explicitly found not liable for rape in the E. Jean Carroll case.

    This is in no way a defense is Trump, but those words have a specific legal meaning, and I think there are a million other ways to call Trump that are actually accurate.

    What's this mean? "Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carroll" https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/19/trump-carroll-judge-rape/

    The judge is just saying that what he was found liable for could be construed as rape as the word is commonly used even if it's not legally. Regardless of that, this article also makes the distinction that he is not convicted of anything due to it being a civil trial and not a criminal one. Saying he is a convicted rapist is still not correct.

    Biden’s administration is a lot better than Trumps. That’s a very low bar to cross. He and his administration is still trash. We needed another FDR after Bush Jr. We got another Bill Clinton, another Reagan, and a third Bill Clinton.

    Biden's administration is actually the second most effective in economic growth and public works projects after FDR. And it's not even close.

    Remember Clinton? That guy whom every liberal loved? All he did was privatize everything and trash our economy going into the 2000 recession.

    I absolutely disagree he is not doing a great job he is horrible for the environment, arguably worse then trump.

    When we are faced with the possible collapse of all civilization through climate change he could be argued as one of the worst presidents ever cause the longer we go without seriously addressing the cause of climate change the more serious the action needs to be.

    Dude…Trump actively fought against CA to try and get their fuel standards thrown out. Like actively worked as hard as he could against the environment. He failed since he is chaotic and unorganized with a cabinet of crazies but that’s kinda the only reason.

    And Biden just keeps expanding oil production.

    Because trump was terrible for the environment, I'm never going to deny that, Biden needed to undo the damage done before him and make huge steps to protect the environment. He has failed on both.

    One is convicted the other is not but they are both criminals and pedos.

    Inform yourself, your country is corrupted as fuck, all politicians are liars, both "red" and "blue" have been pushing the same authoritarian measures and many of the key people working in the government never change
