We also have these quotes, NOT from Joe Biden: George II Jun 2019 #18

We also have this quotes by Neil Kinnock and then, later, by you know who. mobeau69 Jun 2019 #32

Huh? whathehell Jun 2019 #64

Boy is the demeaning slur when a white person uses it as a way to Politicub Jun 2019 #76

I'm well aware of that, but we're talking about "son", not "boy". whathehell Jun 2019 #140

I'm afraid that's the case, too. Politicub Jun 2019 #83

mo - my 2 cents: Your point may be reasonable. IMHO, calling him "uncle joe" is not respectful. IndyOp Jun 2019 #21

The "Uncle Joe" nickname seems to be used by many of his supporters delisen Jun 2019 #41

Okay. If the campaign gave him the nickname, then it's fine... IndyOp Jun 2019 #61

But like it or not, this is a forum for Democrats to share ideas, thoughts, facts Perseus Jun 2019 #116

People here may not like it, but this will play very well in the GE that he can work with mr_liberal Jun 2019 #72

With anybody? trev Jun 2019 #101

Your policies have to be popular with voters then that puts political pressure on the other side. mr_liberal Jun 2019 #121
