(9,998 posts)The minute that CNN/MSNBC/Local News, start doing the Biden This & Biden That, I'm turning them off for the day.
They can have their fucking "Horse Race," but I won't be watching them do it.

(3,428 posts)and the press accepts it as normal. Twitter posters condemned Twitlers remarks, but I dont really know how national television news reported it because I only occasionally watch local news and the stations here always normalize anything Trumpass says. Its disgusting and demoralizing.
As Democrats we generally have a higher standard for our candidates and so does the press. Our candidate will always get slammed for any misspoken event; unfortunately Biden is the poster child for these events

So Grateful for our TEAM Player Leaders who aren't going around calling Joe Biden "the poster child" for anything.

(64,995 posts)That sounds like RWNJs pointing to a US map and saying how much red is there. Stupid, because we can say big blotches of red that don't add up to just California in numbers of people.
The "few states" to which you refer have massive populations and the majority of them wanted Biden.
We're saddles with nothing!
The democrats that are voters chose him as their preferred.
We're stuck with nothing.

(3,428 posts)The few states were more than that, but why do you condemn my gaffe and not our Party standarbearers potentially fatal, and in this case, racially tinged remark?
I see politicians, including those from our own party, as the flawed humans that they are; they are subject to praise and criticism where it is warranted. You appear to worship Biden as a god who cannot be criticized, and you believe that hellfire should rain down upon anyone who does not worship him as well.
Biden is a walking gaffe machine, and I will still vote for his dog-faced pony self, but call a spade, a spade

ProfessorGAC
(64,995 posts)Because I'm a pragmatist. Condemning someone for inelegance when the opponent is a willful ass is foolish.
Looking for perfection is a silly goal, and even in the slightest degree comparing a gaffe to the hateful rhetoric of PINO is self-immolating & counterproductive.
So, no I'm not condemning him.
I want all barrels blazing and if a few shots miss the mark, I'm unrepentant in my support.

(297,154 posts)in MORE than "a few states" So Far, have chosen Joe Biden.. they don't give a crap about the so called "gaffes" that are magnified by the predictable m$$m.
Some states Biden has WON all the counties.. like Michigan and Oregon and Mississippi
These are the States who have voted Overwhelmingly for Joe Biden and he spent 4x less $$$$ to do it.
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Oregon, Nebraska, Virginia, Washington, Arizona, Texas!

Perhaps Biden could flip the script with that comparison.
