Understood. So as long as I'm talking about the same metric, I'm allowed to bring up how things were before a socialist government came to power and that's not whataboutism.
When Castro and Batista will be running candidates, we can ask them their stance on Israel and give them cute nicknames, but until then, we can debate the stance of Biden and Trump, the two running candidates and compare their platform.
Is that hard to grasp?
Not at all. I'm just trying to establish the rules governing whataboutism, because it sometimes seems to me like there's a double standard.
