There is no left-wing “Trump was better” argument.
Except for Trump being in office lit a fire under Democratic asses and made them go super hard contrarian on pandemic response. Now they can be more lax and it's okay because the rational adults are in charge and we don't have to worry about it anymore. To be fair, this isn't an argument that Trump's response was better, just that his presence caused Democrats to try a little harder. Even when Biden fucks up and does something wrong, the media coverage will be completely different or non-existent. So Biden's criticisms won't be front-page news an therefore not as prevalent in online discussions like this one.
