        Saying “both sides bad” has implied meaning. I’m only expanding on the words you said without changing anything. If you said, “The Earth orbits the Sun.” and I expanded that to explain Kepler’s laws, I’m not contradicting you or putting words in your mouth.

        If you want to suggest details such as an example where Trump did good and Biden did bad on a particular policy, then please elaborate. Trump said Ukraine needs to surrender. Biden didn’t say Ukraine should surrender so they are both equally bad? Give me an example.

          you are putting words in my mouth and by claiming you’re not, you are contradicting me.

          i never said that. i said both are bad. i didn’t compare them. i grouped them.

            Ground together doesn’t change your meaning:

            Trump said Ukraine should surrender. Biden said Ukraine shouldn’t surrender and the Republican controlled House of Representatives should help Ukraine. You group both as bad.
