The good ones? You know there's a difference between "This oligarch is good" and "Both oligarchs are bad, but one is substantially worse", right?

Liberals show no sign whatsoever that they believe the latter instead of the former.

But please keep being condescending when people don't like your oligarch.

It's like saying cancer is worse than AIDS.

It's closer to "cancer is worse than HIV", but that's not a terrible analogy. While obviously neither is great, cancer is typically much more difficult to manage. HIV is a single virus which is much easier to mitigate, to the point that with modern treatment most people can live a pretty normal life, while cancer is a whole class of diseases for which treatment is much less reliable and much more invasive.

Trump is worse to americans because he gives them a small taste of what ALL their oligarchs do to the rest of the world all the time.
AFAIC that makes him better.

Clinton was a corrupt mass-murdering scumbag, same as his psycho ghoul wife.

And even on the perversions I doubt Clinton is less bad.
Got away with a rape already in university, in between that and Lewinsky I bet there's plenty of unreported abuse.

Give me one good objective reason for your statement.
