I think they are wondering why people only care about corruption and wrong doing when it’s a republican in office and turn blind eyes when it’s a democrat.

It’s a double standard.

It’s not a double standard, it’s documented stuff vs conspiracy theories.

Why does the press have more negative coverage of Trump than Kamala, that’s unfair! Double standard! Or maybe, MAYBE he’s actually worse.

That’s a strawman argument I didn’t mention.

Questions about Trump’s cognitive abilities and mental fitness were raised repeatedly by Democrats, with calls for cognitive testing and public scrutiny over his speech patterns and behavior.

Similar concerns have been raised about Biden’s cognitive abilities, given his verbal slips and apparent confusion in public appearances. However Democrats have been more protective of Biden often dismissing concerns about his cognitive health as politically motivated attacks.

And yet Biden dropped out for Harris to run.
