I call out the media to report on the orange mans mental acuity to be president. The nedia went after Joe Biden, right or wrong, they accomplished their mission. Media, stop gaslighting the world on Trumps behaviour!

Austin is spot on. For years, Democrats or other groups opposed to Repub policies have had to face the 'what aboutism' rebuttal, issued by candidates and every day people on the streets.

Now that you diagnosed part of the problem. what are your recommendations for avoiding the whataboutism arguments?

I have voiced these sentiment among various 'protest' and Democratic groups. I received comments to the order of "what about Schumer and Jeffries?. I do not think either is the best messenger and have failed at messaging a response, let alone leading efforts to unity messages. I get what about Bernie and AOC--both have strengths as speakers and in their messages. But, I have not yet seen an effective response to 'what about'.
