Yep. Or more accurately, don't phrase it that way. In fact, don't make it racial. "If you're having trouble deciding if whether to vote for me or Trump, you haven't been paying attention."

PleaseBlitz Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I was actually starting to worry about the lack of gaffe's from Biden. It's been way too long for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Biden...what a dunce. I was really looking forward to voting Trump out this fall if only they could have just put up someone who didn't have any glaring deficiencies. This election should be a ****ing layup. There are Mayan ruins younger than Biden, seriously, wtf. They gotta get someone else in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmsy Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Obviously, I don't speak for all black people. However, as a black person, I just don't care. We're not tricked by "people saying stupid stuff equals racist", only a handful of people "get upset" and then make their presence known online. Wake me up when Biden starts pulling "Black Cards" from people who don't vote for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add up all the gaffes and supposed gaffes Biden has committed, throw in soiling his trousers on the debate stage, and he would STILL be a better candidate for the future of this democracy than Donald ****ing Trump. So your "Gosh I wish there was someone better so I don't have to vote for Trump" bull**** rings hollow to my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Stupid thing to say. Should be better prepared for this like "There is choice for African Americans and all people to elect someone who will represent all Americans, or somebody who is Trump First, Donors Second, and maybe Americans down around the bottom of his list" /Fin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshile Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I don’t have a problem with what Biden said. In a vacuum it sounds awful. In the context of what reality is I understand exactly what he was trying to say and so I don’t have an issue with it. and I’m usually someone who gets pissy about that sort of stuff but I’m also white so I imagine my opinion doesn’t count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus T Firefly Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 OK, it was a stupid thing to say from a guy who's made a career out of saying stupid things. But let's calm the hell down, it was obviously a joke at the end of an interview that had a lot of lighthearted talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe. I honestly hasnt considered it that way tho. I just think its a stupid thing to say regardless. Obama saying it would have been worse imo but i feel you I guess.

Better get that ringing in your ears checked. I agree. If this changes anything, it probably has them looking harder at women of color for a VP pick. Kamala Harris, Michelle Lujan Grisham, Val Demings, Catherine Cortez-Masto. Somebody who will specifically go for women and minorities to turn out.

redskins59 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Honestly, Biden will keep saying stupid stuff. Does anybody care? Even with his gaffes, democrats chose him. So the base did not care a whole lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 The Tara Reade caught lying under oath, and then lying about her lying, thing seems like a bigger deal than Biden’s comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it in this thread earlier, I will double down on it here. The DNC comes around and puts someone else up, they'll eventually realize that they can't have Biden and his gaffes. But if they let him run, he better pick a good running mate. It's arguably the most important thing he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
