13. Why focus on motes in our eyes while ignoring the Beam in Trump's eyes?

So Biden is the whipping boy for Donald Trump because people have a wrong-headed concept of Democracy--the presidency is not a Dictatorship led by a King but

it is weird logic to make a huge public issue out of Biden's behavior while not addressing Trump's behaviors-from person, to payoffs to women, to using the power of the office to appoint anti-democratic, and anti-women people to high office and judgeships.

If Biden has behaviors regarding physical closeness or touching women that one thinks are wrong and demeaning the best way to initially deal with it would be in a non-public, non-adversarial manner. A delegation of women meeting with him in private would likely have been effective. If not, one still has the public option.

Why reach for the microphone first and offer cover to Donald Trump at the critical time of a cover up of the Mueller Report, or other political atrocities. The public route seems to me to be more about attacking tha changing behavior or protecting women from inequality.

Why talk to another Democrat first through the media-especially someone who is very accessible?
