Biden: People are dying while Trump is 'having temper tantrums'

As I can see by the downvotes, people have taken what I said to mean that trumps better than Biden - which isn’t what I meant. I was simply making a statement that Biden shouldn’t be casting stones about behavior as he’s had plenty of testy exchanges while on the trail. Before trump, those exchanges would have ended a politicians run. Now? Not so much.

I plan to vote for Biden as a stop gap measure, not because I like him. I’m hoping that Sanders/Warren can pull him further left than he is now because we (average Americans) need some reform that actually helps us instead of corporations/ultra wealthy.

We can’t have 4 more years of Trump. That isn’t a question. However, Biden has zero room to be attacking someone’s public behavior when he’s called a constituent a “damn liar”, told people to go vote for “the other guy”, and frequently puts his hands on those he’s having an exchange with. Trump has normalized a lot of behavior from politicians that we shouldn’t just blatantly accept as ‘ok’ because it’s ‘not as bad’ as Trumps behavior. I expect more and hold our elected officials to a higher standard than that.
