I don't think that anyone is in favour of corruption, but what Trump has achieved in "making his own weather" is quite remarkable and it's difficult to know how the American "left" can respond. What Biden does right now is not really significant in and of itself, but how his party and their base responds to it might be quite informative. If they seem to get a pass for this then does it open up more options for them? I don't mean in terms of straightforward corruption but in terms of conforming only with the letter of the law, rather than being constrained by (previously) commonly understood codes.
There's only so much value in continuing to lose honourably in a system in which the electorate doesn't seem to value honour at all.

I'm loving all the 'well Trump's doing it worse 'comments. US politics is so far beyond corrupt it's laughable. But I guess a bit of corruption is ok for the right team?
