Ok, so you do actually believe there's no difference in degree. You can just say as much.

I have said so, in like 13 comments in this thread

Except you're still calling us idiots for saying corruption can happen in degrees.

The only way for the "degree of corruption" to always be the same for every person ever is for every act of corruption to be of perfectly equal magnitude and consequence.

If an act of corruption can be of greater magnitude and consequence than another, than it's perfectly reasonable to say that someone who engages in corruption of greater magnitude and consequence does so "to a greater degree" than someone else.

So which is it?

I think deep down you really prefer to pretend that it's all perfectly equivalent, otherwise your simplified world-view doesn't make any sense

What team am i on? Why do you think I said Biden isn't corrupt? I'm well aware of how corrupt Democrats are. You seem unaware of how corrupt Trump is.

not sure where you are getting that I am "unaware" of the corruption, just not sure where you are all getting "oh, the 'degree and magnitude' of corruption is now 'much worse' than it was before" when in fact this isn't something you can back up reasonably so it is just shooting the breeze without anything to back it up with. they are all the same mate, all the same ;)

As far as I can tell, the only way you can assert that trump is precisely no amount more corrupt than any other politician in history is if you're completely unaware of what he's been up to the last 10 years.

That, or you truly deeply believe all acts of corruption are perfectly equivalent regardless of their circumstances.

You insist neither is the case, but i see no other way to reach your conclusions

well since we don't really get to pick much you get to pick the worst of two evils. like 2am at a bar and there are two of the ugliest people sitting and waiting - you know you are taking one home so... ;)

I'm perfectly happy going home alone, you greedy freak

Well, the alternative was trump, who is more senile, more corrupt and has somehow been a public loser for longer than biden has been a politician.

I'm not interested in arguing about this I'm just trying to get the other person to see their own hypocrisy

So why would i also be saying that

You can make all sorts of hilariously wrong assumptions about me all you want, but i won't entertain them.

I'm not on the team you think I'm on. My media diet isn't what you think it is.

You're reading an awful lot into what i did actually say, and i think it's pretty revealing.
