President Biden on Friday delivered a ferocious condemnation of Donald J. Trump, his likely 2024 opponent, warning in searing language that the former president had directed an insurrection and would aim to undo the nation’s bedrock democracy if he returned to power.
On the eve of the third anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol by Mr. Trump’s supporters, Mr. Biden framed the coming election as a choice between a candidate devoted to upholding America’s centuries-old ideals and a chaos agent willing to discard them for his personal benefit.
“There’s no confusion about who Trump is or what he intends to do,” Mr. Biden warned in a speech at a community college not far from Valley Forge in Pennsylvania, where George Washington commanded troops during the Revolutionary War. Exhorting supporters to prepare to vote this fall, he said: “We all know who Donald Trump is. The question is: Who are we?”
In an intensely personal address that at one point nearly led Mr. Biden to curse Mr. Trump by name, the president compared his rival to foreign autocrats who rule by fiat and lies. He said Mr. Trump had failed the basic test of American leaders, to trust the people to choose their elected officials and abide by their decisions.
“We must be clear,” Mr. Biden said. “Democracy is on the ballot. Your freedom is on the ballot.”
Any other poorly-applied buzzwords like “whataboutism” you’d like to apply? It doesn’t stop with trump. Before trump was bush, and the message was “we gotta stop bush”. It’s not a “just this time” sort of deal. Democrats will keep promoting the shittiest candidates and then say that we must vote them in because the alternative is worse. It doesn’t end.
When one of the candidates claims they will be a dictator then any other candidate will automatically be better.
The moral gap between the candidates has never been wider.

This is nothing new.
Whataboutism isn’t a buzzword, it’s a logical fallacy. Its exactly what you are saying, “what about Biden though!” while completely ignoring the point being discussed, which is that we want an alternative to trump
It is a buzzword because people like you misuse the hell out of it. I wasn’t even the one who brought up biden, I was responding to a post that talked about him. It’s like you’ve never had a conversation with a human before. Conversations can involve more than one laser-point-focused subject.
