Yes it is the relationship of pure power and backroom deals between Parties that have contributed to a political divide and a piss poor example to use for cooperation.

Well Joe check what color you are.
2 stupid missteps, Hyde Act and then this

Joe whoever gave you advice on the Hyde Act and agrees with your foot in ass today, well fire them.

There are much better ways to show examples of both Parties cooperating. Time to get your **** together.
 

Grab them by the p###y
 
Joe, whomever recommended that you make a third bid is a moron! Need to drop out now so the field is winnowed.....
 
Personally I'm a bit concerned that Biden was apparently mentored in part by someone who liked segregation.
 
Trump is the king of gaffes and stupid comments

It raises 2 questions.
Do people change, learn, and change how they look at things?
How far back do we go on a person running for office? At times make me wonder if people think they must have a Saint as a candidate. Kerist it is politics and a blood sport. Few rules apply

Sen Booker/Harris states he should apologize
 

Here's another stupid thing to say to a bunch of rich guys:


Seriously...“I need you very badly.”...but the first thing I'm gonna do as President is raise your taxes.

:doh
 
blood in the water....only a matter of time until Joe gets dragged under water for being old + white + Racist

Yeah....and then trump will land a man on Mars....which is part of the moon. Lol
 
Frankly, I don't give a **** what they state, I want him to show he understands how wrong that guy was, and that despite getting along with him back then he wouldn't now, because he knows that kind of position is utterly unacceptable.

But I suppose it's nice that someone with more "voice" than I have is asking for an apology - but a simple apology isn't enough - just because Biden is sorry he said a thing doesn't take away the apparent influence that pro-segregation individual had, nor Biden's apparent willingness to accept such an individual as anything other then an opponent.

Maybe I'm being unreasonable, but even we could compromise on some other issues, if I were in a position of having to work with someone who thought such things I'd clash constantly with him.

Also I want to know how he (Biden) rationalized getting along with him then.

Edit: Certainly we don't need a saint, but I would like some reason to believe Biden wouldn't be friendly with someone who had such an atrocious position today.
 

Biden's a mistake based purely on his age. I hope he drops out.

Well Trump does have eyes for Biden. He trolls Trump and Trump bites like a hungry fish.
 
Using a sports analogy; Biden is like the basketball team that is down 10 at the half and come out in the second half and get into foul trouble before three minutes have elapsed........double bonus?

There is? Is it expensive for you or does your insurance cover it?
 

Can't fix stupid, reason why I am ABT
 

What I tend to do in these cases is try to think of an equivalent, say Jews. And then wonder how well Biden would have worked with someone calling for Jews to be segregated and made to suffer what blacks did in the South during Jim Crow. I kind of doubt the attitude would have been, "Well, we can agree to disagree on THAT issue, but let's join hands on these other things that don't involve making second class citizens of Jews, who are my friends and campaign contributors."

At any rate, it's kind of a tough question. The southern wing of the Democratic party under FDR was overtly racist, all of them supported segregation and discrimination and Jim Crow, and on a lot of levels FDR had to work with them passing things like Social Security, which initially did exclude typically 'black' occupations. Assuming FDR didn't agree with the southern Democrats, his choice was to work with them, including making concessions on things based on race, or get far less done. That's not an easy choice. Same thing with the founding. If not for agreements that explicitly allowed for slavery, we don't have a country. I'm not comparing Biden's interactions with those, but the principle is the same.

What's a bit troubling is he took the time out to travel to these peoples' memorial services to say nice things about unapologetic racists and segregationists. That's the part that's less morally ambiguous to me. It's one thing to work with someone on issues unrelated to race, but quite another to then applaud that person in many ways in a memorial. A simple "No thanks I cannot attend" would be enough.
