IT KEEPS HAPPENING

Everything makes sense if you realize that these people think Republicans are some dire threat putting us on the path to destruction and Literally Hitler. When people talk about Democrats being bad, they view it as a ridiculous distraction from the real problem of Republicans. This is why they constantly use analogies like "choosing to eat rat poison instead of a mediocre sandwich" - they believe there's a massive and profound difference between the parties.

While you might think such a perspective would make them get mad at Democrats for being friendly to Republicans or seeking bipartisan compromises, this isn't the case because these people are terrified that saying anything bad about Democrats will somehow cause the Republicans to take power. They take the media's word for it that it's impossible to replace the worst Democrats. They'll occasionally get mad at a Democrat like Sinema or Manchin when the media tells them it's okay, but they'll start defending them again once the media stops attacking them. They don't realize they're being manipulated, because they simple view the situation as "reading The Facts and coming to a conclusion that coincidentally happens to align with the media consensus."

Eh, I take the complete opposite reading tbh. I am pretty sure a big chunk of the lib/dem types who get mad about people bringing up Biden's rapes never actually believed in metoo or that sexual assault was bad. They never actually thought there was anything wrong with Trump's history of sexual assault, but they knew that pretending to care was a good way to attack him, and he was on the "other team" so it was open season to throw anything they could

Now that big bad Trump is gone, they don't need any of that so they stop pretending to care. That's why they get so mad and confused when people bring up Biden being a rapist. Their initial reaction is "wtf? don't you know trump is gone? biden is OUR guy! why are you acting like you care about rape? you don't have to now, we won!", and that lack of care comes through in the way they talk even if they can't admit it out loud

lol that biden hates China so much, and also lol that liberals also hate China now because of that.

There seems to be two political camps in DC: The bureaucratic establishment and the financial sector, and China appears to be a wedge issue between them. The former views China as a rival to US sovereignty and the latter has financially tied themselves to China's growth.

Were it Clinton, she might push foreign powers to pressure the Chinese government or hinder them in some way, while random billionaire #7 would be extremely wary that even the most tepid of condemnations might incur the wrath of President Xi. Biden has a foot in both camps, and thus his "big words and no action" seems to ride that line pretty well. He'll assign a thousand committees to write up a thousand reports and then shake them all over town.

Yay democraps.

I think if you brought up Joe Schmo generic rape case, they'd be horrified, and may even stop being friends with someone if they learned they were a rapist, so I'm not sure that's true. I really do think Ytlaya's right and it's just a matter of, "But then who am I supposed to vote for? What, you're telling me everyone is unworthy of my vote? Then who do I vote for?" Because there's a real ego trip involved with voting with these people, that they vote to win and "change" things, as if their vote can do that, as opposed to a matter of speech that will probably be futile but at least illustrates your values. Change doesn't come from voting, but when you convince people that's the only channel for change, then anything short of voting for someone you know could win becomes unfathomable for them.

"no action" in this case means keeping the Trump tariffs going and maintaining the hardline anti-China positions established under him.

you don't need to break up the tech giants, you need to nationalize them. there's no advantage having multiple googles, twitters, youtubes, etc., you want those things to be single entities. plus if you did break them up it would take a couple years at most for them to T-1000 back together.
