If we all agree that Joe Biden isn't racist then why does it matter? [View all] Cary Jul 2019 OP

some of the criticism is over his lack of preparation for the debate JI7 Jul 2019 #1

Don't forget DownriverDem Jul 2019 #26

Yes I think he was ready for an ambush, but not from Kamala ucrdem Jul 2019 #30

Who would have known Butterflylady Jul 2019 #54

He had 30 seconds to respond to stuff that wasn't accurate Jarqui Jul 2019 #55

Why is that so important? treestar Jul 2019 #57

I find that odd, too, Treestar Cary Jul 2019 #75

It's important in this election because of Trump. marylandblue Jul 2019 #84

that's the first time on DU that Tangerine Rathead treestar Jul 2019 #87

No, it's not the first time, because I've said stuff like that before. marylandblue Jul 2019 #88

Uh huh emulatorloo Jul 2019 #77

I haven't heard any suggestion that he engaged in past racism Cary Jul 2019 #11

"Alleged"? He has a solid record on Civil Rights. And is doing very well w AA dems emulatorloo Jul 2019 #29

The old" have you stopped beating your wife" redstateblues Jul 2019 #34

Just framing your negative that way continues the mischaracterization that began this fake bs. LakeArenal Jul 2019 #38

It matters if Joe, or any other candidate cannot properly respond to criticism, false accusations vlyons Jul 2019 #3

If we don't vote then we are screwed Cary Jul 2019 #15

It says more about those who use lies and innuenda to attack a fellow Democrats than it does Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #37

Why? treestar Jul 2019 #58

primary debates are like reality shows, I don;t watch either, I know the beachbum bob Jul 2019 #4

Can you tell me his history? cannabis_flower Jul 2019 #6

start here with the wiki page beachbum bob Jul 2019 #8

Really? Cary Jul 2019 #16

He never voted for Reagan. It's ok for your candidate to evolve but not Joe redstateblues Jul 2019 #32

Touche! Cary Jul 2019 #60

Show me some evidence of evolution cannabis_flower Jul 2019 #78

If you haven't personally checked Biden's experience ( I refuse to call it "past") LakeArenal Jul 2019 #40

No cannabis_flower Jul 2019 #79

because as Pete Buttigieg senior adviser Lis Smith said: wyldwolf Jul 2019 #5

That just makes so much sense Cary Jul 2019 #12

It doesn't matter in any real sense. It's an effort to grab some of Biden's AA support. ucrdem Jul 2019 #7

the GOP, Putin all need to have Biden taken out by the primary rivals as all know what beachbum bob Jul 2019 #9

Yep if they take out Biden good luck winning on Reparations for All ucrdem Jul 2019 #13

Harris brought race into the discussion, and that's a mistake calguy Jul 2019 #14

Agreed. And for what purpose? Cary Jul 2019 #17

Barack Obama never, ever turned it into a weapon to bash anyone. ucrdem Jul 2019 #18

Do you mean Cha Jul 2019 #21

Yes thanks, I keep making that mistake ucrdem Jul 2019 #23

lol.. Cha Jul 2019 #31

That must have been noisy LOL! ucrdem Jul 2019 #33

I've always loved Fireworks! Cha Jul 2019 #36

This year we have fireworks and earthquakes. . . ucrdem Jul 2019 #90

Wow! Did you feel the Cha Jul 2019 #91

I didn't feel it but I noticed the lights swaying ucrdem Jul 2019 #92

Good for California learning Cha Jul 2019 #93

It was strange. ucrdem Jul 2019 #94

Yes! My point exactly. calguy Jul 2019 #41

It wasn't the right wing that went after Obama on Wright. It was Hillary's campaign. hedda_foil Jul 2019 #28

It was the Rush Limbaugh crowd. ucrdem Jul 2019 #35

Right wing video...Hillary was asked to comment on it...and in my opinion and she shouldn't have. Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #42

I hope that's an overstatement Bob Cary Jul 2019 #20

more true than not I am afraid to say beachbum bob Jul 2019 #25

Sorry, I don't buy that only Biden can win. Turin_C3PO Jul 2019 #39

Most have taken positions way too far to the left to win the rust belt. Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #43

Trump took positions to the far right Turin_C3PO Jul 2019 #46

you keep saying that shanny Jul 2019 #51

let's go Joe ! stonecutter357 Jul 2019 #10

"what does it say about a Democrat who will attack him for it? " onetexan Jul 2019 #19

Let's not make too much of that, yet Cary Jul 2019 #22

Nothing. There is a primary happening. People line up behind candidates they support. Politicub Jul 2019 #45

one thing's for sure: a stunt like that sure doesn't leave a good first impression onetexan Jul 2019 #63

I guess I'm more meta about the exchange - the moment it Politicub Jul 2019 #68

When you run for President, everything you said or did in you entire life marylandblue Jul 2019 #24

No, doubt Harris will find this out. But this was an attack without merit complete with t-shirts. Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #44

We live in interesting times Cary Jul 2019 #49

When you figure out a way to discipline candidates in the primary and internet era, marylandblue Jul 2019 #52

That sounds to me like an excuse Cary Jul 2019 #59

It sounds to me like you think what we do on DU actually matters. marylandblue Jul 2019 #61

And that too is an excuse Cary Jul 2019 #65

Sure, the internet is full of trolls. Don't feed them. marylandblue Jul 2019 #66

Biden never was a racist and he is not one now. Vegas Roller Jul 2019 #27

spot on. Biden was VP for America's first black POTUS for God's sake onetexan Jul 2019 #71

Without such insinuations LibFarmer Jul 2019 #47

Exactly. "Super-predators," worked so well against Hillary, makes sense Kahuna7 Jul 2019 #64

This is the kind of binary argument that makes discussions about race very difficult StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #48

As opposed to "the other kind of 'binary argument'" where the racists divide us Cary Jul 2019 #50

How about we don't have binary arguments at all? marylandblue Jul 2019 #53

How about we focus on winning in 2020? Cary Jul 2019 #56

Here's the problem with that suggestion StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #62

Because, like every society, we have divisions. marylandblue Jul 2019 #67

Making sure we are in a position to fix the problems isn't "ignoring." Cary Jul 2019 #72

Of course, but how do we get there? Who is best to lead us there? marylandblue Jul 2019 #83

We are who we have been waiting for Cary Jul 2019 #86

I think it is more a conversation about privilege and how that affects perceptions and decisions. silentEcho Jul 2019 #69

Would you rather have it with Unindicted Co-Conspirator in the White House? Cary Jul 2019 #74

I'm sorry? Huh? silentEcho Jul 2019 #82

We all knew it was coming, I'm just surprised at who it's coming from. My 2nd & 3rd choices... Tarheel_Dem Jul 2019 #70

I can't believe people don't understand why attacking each other is a bad idea Cary Jul 2019 #73

If a weakened nominee limps through to the general, they'll be so battered & bruised... Tarheel_Dem Jul 2019 #81

I look at it as a chance for the candidates Jakes Progress Jul 2019 #76

If I recall... Mike Nelson Jul 2019 #80

The question for me wasn't actually about the busing... Bettie Jul 2019 #89

That makes sense. Cary Jul 2019 #95

Joe Biden is the most electable candidate that the Democratic Party has available Gothmog Jul 2019 #96

That is becoming apparent, Gothmog Cary Jul 2019 #97
