It might not but since you effectively have a binary choice, which Israeli policy do you prefer, Bidens or Trump.

if it's really a tie, then start looking at the other policies to see which is the lesser of the two evils.

And you're not trying to deflect from your original argument you were making.

A text book definition of a word vs what people behind a political party in a specific country are very different things.

I stand by what I've said, American conservatives tend to assume that American liberals do what a conservative would have done. In this case be unable to be impartial and make decisions based on their own ideology.

An American liberal is more likely to be able to be impartial than a conservative.

Have a good life.

I am definitely saying the liberals are more likely to be impartial.

liberals tend to favour fairness of outcome, not the conservative fairness of opportunity. Hence they are better able to better put themselves in other people's shoes and go against their core beliefs (ideology) if that means a failed outcome for other people.

I watched it live too, it was painful.

Trump just says what he wants to be true, regardless if it is. But he has always been like that so nothing new.

Biden looked very tired, while he answered the questions much better than Trump, it was painful to watch him struggle to get the words out sometimes.

I suspect that many Biden votes will be a vote against Trump, not for Biden.

This comment really feels like "I'm making all my decisions based on ideology therefore everyone does"

So he just leaped ahead to accept a whole lot of evil instead of just a certain level of evil?

I'm one of those who dislikes the US defaultism, but in this case you are very correct in assuming the US centric as the description of the community states explicitly that it's for the discussion of "US Politics"

So I'll be unsubscribing and subscribing to WorldPolitics instead ;)

I'm not sure it's just right leaning users. I'm pretty far to the left and I keep ketting anti-trans, anti-covid right wing talking points quite frequently. I keep pressing thumbs down but they keep coming.
