It's not just pundits who do both-siderism. Plenty of American voters do it too.

No matter how awful Trump clearly appears, and such people will admit they see Trump's awfulness, they will automatically say to themselves, "Well, Biden seems much nicer, much more competent, more honest, etc., but I just KNOW that Republicans and Democrats are just as bad as each other, so Biden must simply be doing a better job of hiding how awful he is."
