I didn't say "Both sides are the same". I said both candidates were morons.

As far as terms, I don't like really like either side we have on the menu right now.

Biden may have been a senile fool in 2025, but he was smart enough to listen to people who knew their ass from their elbow.

And to also not burn down the furniture to 'own' his political enemies.

He did do the "can't sell GPUs to Poland*" move when he was on his way out though.

Separating countries into "tier 1" and "tier 2" was a pretty bad look, especially when a bunch of European countries that seemed to have good relations with the US ended up in tier 2. Looked suspiciously similar to the iron curtain.

* It wasn't that they couldn't sell GPUs at all, but they put caps on the amount.

Potato, potahto. Your comment is indistinguishable from a "both sides are the same" argument.

That would only be because you chose not to distinguish it. The words differ because the sentiment differs. Both sides are not "the same" manifestly. This does not mean both candidates were not morons.
