When talking about Biden, they’re talking about the consequences to democrat party structure. When talking about Trump, they’re talking about policy. Their point stands
His point in the comment are the possible consequences to democrat party power structure, not to policy, he’s not discussing democrat policy either. He’s proposing to have an impact on democrat power structure through not voting for them, which may or may not work, but what for sure doesn’t work is “vote blue no matter who”.
Are the results of a democratic victory as much speculation as the results of a Republican victory?
The original comment was able to discuss the results of a democratic victory with laser precision, while it danced around the potential effects of a trump victory by calling it speculation. Again, see what I quoted.
I’ve seen this disparity in foresight multiple times on Lemmy, and it’s frustrating when used to justify decision-making. It’s literally the sleeping Shaq meme.
FWIW, OP and I are actually in agreement, both in that democratic victory outcomes are also speculation (and should’ve been worded as such) as well as the point being made.
I don’t answer loaded questions. I’ve explained, he’s discussing possibilities to party structure, not to policy, you’re just trying to establish a false equivalence between them because it’s convenient for your “they’re only attacking the Dems!” narrative

You still haven’t answered my question.
