If you’re a liberal, you need no degrees of separation. You read about what Trump said about the Central Park Five decades ago as a privatize citizen, but rarely about Biden’s outreach to the segregationist wing of his party. E.g. eulogizing Robert Byrd a former KKK member. (Back in the 1970s-1990s, Trump was almost certainly to the left of Biden on social issues but you’d never know it.)

Not to say I think Biden should get flack for that. But the guilt by association thing is an especially easy kudgel to wield in an uneven way.
