and understand that people were offended by what he had said. But Trump would doubled and tripled down on things like this! I would hope people can look pass this gaffe, because Trump is abusing anyone and everything that isnt nailed down. He (Trump) is the racist, not Biden! Biden did apologize and Trump would never do that!

(9,952 posts)I am pissed we have someone that so often does it and is what it is. Black community told me to sit down on this one. They see it as a failed joke and move on. I tend to agree. I think Biden will once again start being a little more controlled.

(692 posts)Less than a damn what former VP Biden said about the AA voters in that interview - I'm voting for him in November!
There is virtually no gaffe that Biden could make that would cause me NOT to vote for the Dem nominee in November!!!

(983 posts)that he would be so careless. This campaign isn't about him, it's about the fate of this country and a referendum and on most incompetent, destructive president in US history. If we keep the focus on the latter, we WIN.
Trump is a MASTER at playing people against eachother.
Oh, and Biden has now boxed himself into choosing a black VP as the "Democrats take black people for granted" mantra has gone mainstream and his choice will be set against that backdrop.

(31,109 posts)He never does or says ANYTHING with a plan or scheme, he is a 9 yr old child, everything he does and says is in the moment and the exact same way a 9 yr old does.
That his timing, with no influence by him, works sometimes to seem like he is doing something, is another thing.

(983 posts)But the chaotic and unplanned nature of something doesn't always make it less effective. Ask yourself why it's still a close race and why he WILL be a formidable candidate in November.
The country may be stupid, but he is still effective at marshalling that stupidity, more so than other craven politicians.
it's careless and senseless

Any woman, Black, Hispanic, Gay, yes/economically oppressed Whites, discriminated/tortured ethnic groups, et al.
When I see anybody of one of those backgrounds being a Repuke, I ask that question. Change my words around and it's what BIDEN said.
