Trump treated everyone far worse and Harris treated no one the way described. So. I am back to āpeople think being easily fleeced is a mark of pride.ā AKA ābad things are good and good things are bad.ā Which still makes absolutely no sense.

If Joe Biden had a now near constant hand bruise--likely from some sort of regular IV--gave the press a flimsy excuse of it being "aspirin therapy" and from "shaking too many hands," and regular tried to hide it with makeup, I'm not sure the news media would be covering anything else.

And let's not forget that "perfect" in this case is a VERY narrow definition tailored to only one or two positions, NOT broad-based harm reduction or progress. Of course, that's just nominal - if the other potential candidate is a woman and also holds those positions, she's ignored or bashed.
