Showing Original Post only (View all)VP Biden: 'he didn't think anyone thought Trump "would be as bad as he is" ' [View all]
https://mobile.twitter.com/Politicsinsider/status/1153832819778449409This is an incredibly worrying statement. Secretary Clinton warned, again and again, of how bad Trump was. She was ridiculed and dismissed. Many activists, journalists, experts and the like did the same - especially those with minority background were painted as hysterical and conspiracy theorists. A majority of Black voters (93% of Black women! So vote like a Black woman in 2020) saw thru him and understood how bad he would be. That VP Biden didn't, shows a stunning lack of discernment. That he didn't hear the warnings from the previously mentioned people, so that he would say that he didn't think anyone saw it coming, adds to the worrying picture of a man who not only could not and cannot see the danger we're in, but also is in a bubble so that he doesn't hear the warnings of people who have a better understanding than him. Do we want someone like that to be President?

Exactly. And we have thousands and thousands of posts here about each new outrage, many of them

His privilege blinded him. People who don't have privilege knew exactly what was coming.

He definitely cares! He's a good person. But to be surprised about what's happening in this

Sure, there are plenty of people who didn't think Trump could be this bad. They, too, were either in

We've seen continual shock and outrage here over what Trump does. Really don't recall very many

Right, but I'm not talking about the reactions here on DU, which trends old and white.

Do you have any examples of well-known people saying those things, or maybe credible polls of them

Down to earth people who came from "very humble" to middle-class beginnings can still have plenty
