85. No I don't understand that

Because that’s not what the poster said. The poster said “we’ve sold the presidency to the highest bidder.” The president is Biden. So who bought him? They avoided answering that. I can only conclude they think Biden is bought, in other words corrupt.
If they didn’t mean to say Biden wasn’t bought by the highest bidder, why did they say it?
It’s a pretty easy answer. But apparently it’s too hard to say, “No, I don’t think Biden is corrupt.”
I’m not sure why you are defending saying Biden is bought by the highest bidder?
