So are you on the biden defense team? Cause every thread about joe being shit I see waving away his shit
So Joe Biden was on The Breakfast club: "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black." [UP: Apologizes]

Probably for the same reason alot of other people like Biden. Because he isn't Trump.
You could put an actual axe murderer up against Trump and he would still pull impressive numbers.
Democrat polls tend to be highly sensitive to things like this.
Get the fuck outta here with this bullshit, you think a white man has the right to tell black people they aren't black?
Nah his comment was really stupid and it was a useless foot in mouth statement.
If they care about having a data driven campaign, then they should already be aware this is a terrible way to address less active black voters.

Why Anger At Trump May Not Help Democrats Win
One dominating response to Donald Trump’s presidency has been anger. Trump has stoked outrage among his supporters, who have echoed his rhetoric and fury, and h…

It is true about the myth of the undecided voter in today's world, but it has nothing to do with being black.
Imagine if Trump said "If you are having trouble deciding between me and Biden, then you ain't white."
Actually aside from the ain't part it sounds like something he'd say.

I don't think it's some special, magical word that should be reserved for use only with the most heinous actions and statements. Racism should be called out.
Sounds like people want to see some semblance of truth rather than bullshit in the discussion. You trying to browbeat with this joe Biden defense bullshit isn't going to change that. Like I get that it's possible that you enjoy seeing the same variation of "fuck Biden" or "we could have picked Bernie" ad nauseam, but a statement like "bleeding voters" is outright misinformation and I don't see why anyone should be cool with that. As we know he isn't bleeding voters, there's no need to say it or imply it otherwise one could ask you if you were on the misinformation defense force. Plenty to comment on without resorting to falsehoods.
What he said was obviously stupid as hell. But it doesn't mean he is bleeding voters. That's what they were responding to. Not the comment that Biden made.
People see the issue. They just don't want that to interfere with the election, so shit that would easily sink a Republican- or even Democrats in other contexts- simply doesn't matter right now, and they will be happy to ironically throw minorities under the bus to maintain solidarity, because where else are you gonna go?
Wow.
The guy making an ad targeting "Chinese" and using the dogwhistle of "people from China could travel to the US thanks to Trump" does another racist act?

this was the best guy America could muster up against trump and somehow he's still the favorite
Yo what?? They just need to stick Joe in the basement till November before he does more damage to himself
Or Warren. Or Klobuchar. Or Buttigeig. I would have voted for ANY of these politicians over Biden.
It really does suck.
I can't help but feel like the intended read from that joke was "I'm advocating the black community, if you're equivocating me with Trump you have no idea what it's like being a black person in this country", and had he played that in a more traditional media setting that might've worked a smidge better.
But he decided to play it in a couch stream with an indie black guy, so it reads a helluva lot more like him dangling his blackness over his head and.....yeah, yeesh.

Yes
What was the response to that? I don't recall.
The audacity and entitlement of this guy is something else, fuck him. I'm probably voting for a more progressive third party this year ( I live in NYS, Biden is all but assured to win here regardless ) and shaming me isn't gonna convince me to do otherwise. If you don't have an ounce of black in you, then you have no right to speak on other people's "blackness".
People actually voted for Biden to be where's he at. No Joe won't resign, he won't be replaced. Bernie lost
Yes, we voted for him. He won by a huge margin too. People did not vote for the others.
People also voted for Trump to be where he at.
What is your point?
What he said should be criticized.
or Inslee or Castro or Beto or Harris or Booker. fuck man, Tom Steyer wasn't so bad either!
the only time I felt good about Biden was when Bloomberg entered the fray
people literally wanted her head on a stick because she had hot sauce in her bag
It's literally an old white man who was friends with segregationists saying your blackness is conditional and predicated on you voting for me. There is no circumstance where this would not be fucking awful
Yup. I see it all the time when people try to dismiss it as "dumb", "useless" or "unnecessary"
Biden has repeatedly said racist shit.
