@pawsplay@intransitivelie@passenger Ah, yes, “voting for president isn’t X, it’s Y”; I like this variant a lot, because it ends with “hiring a lawyer” and all lawyers are scumbags.
Except in your analogy Joe Biden isn’t the competent lawyer with a well-established practice. He’s a public defender who specialized in patent law, who draws his paycheck from the same source as the prosecutor, and he has been instructed by his boss to not waste too much time on your case.
