I didn't give anybody the benefit of the doubt
But you are and you have.
That's what BoThSiDeRiSm is.
You've given them the benefit of the doubt about everything, and you refuse to hold them accountable.
Instead, you attack the institution of government instead of the bad actors in it.
If anything they tried to play it down in order to minimize its effects on the election.
Ah, so if they were trying to minimize it because it might affect the election, isn't it possible they are utilizing it to settle political scores and rig the upcoming election by denying mail-in voting? So already, you've admitted they see this pandemic as political. So there's no reason at this point to have an effective federal response because no matter what, it is going to affect the election. So how do you overcome that? By canceling the election.
When they could no longer ignore the seriousness of its spread they tried to show concern and instituted needed measures.
So by not taking this seriously and approaching it as a political problem from the start, you're saying they deliberately lied in order to make themselves look better.
So you're admitting their response has wholly been for their political interests, not the interests of the people.
So...does that mean that the non-COVID policies could
also fall into that bucket too? Like tax cuts, for example?
Like, you can't ignore the seriousness of the tax cuts exploding the deficit and not leading to 3% growth, so why continue arguing in favor of that policy if not for purely political reasons?
