He never called them predators—read the fact check. Trump used clips of him using the word predator, but never showed the full Clip to link that term to minorities. The full clip showed he wasn’t singling out any ethnic or racial group when using that term “The context of what Biden said shows that he was talking about people hypothetically becoming predators, and it shows he did not single out Blacks, African Americans, or any other racial or ethnic group.” Edited November 7, 2020 by MattM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And based on how the bill ended up screwing over the minority communities we definitively know what he meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your only response is likely “it seemed like a good idea at the time” or “it was a bipartisan deal”.face it you elected a worse guy than trump and it’s hilarious how you’re trying to justify it.

Or are they just all uninformed? and as I said, I could literally go on all day about his policies’ effect on people of color (as could anyone paying attention even remotely closely), but it’s a beautiful day here today and I need to be productive now that my time lifting is over. have a good day celebrating Biden’s victory!

Process Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 What's going on with the senate? From what I can tell it's currently 48-48 with two georgia run offs in January.

I hope Biden does well as president. But the fact is you raged for four years about Trump being racist and then you went ahead and voted in a guy that is factually worse on minorities. You keep doing the what about trump and his record but yet can only point to some fairly small issues. Just admit Biden’s record on minorities is worse than trumps and we can move on.

Maybe that will mean Democrats and Republicans will actually have to work together again. That or 4 years of incessant gridlock. Yeah, I'm putting my money on incessant gridlock, which I will be okay with after 4 years of our loud dumb president. 5 minutes ago, aristocrat said: more than one thing can be true.

I'm happy to admit I don't like Biden's or Harris's history of "tough on crime" policies. That's okay. I still voted for them on the first day of early voting after three consecutive election cycles where I abstained. Usually I'm apathetic about the presidency. This time I would have taken just about anyone over the Apprentice host. I don't think it ever quite sunk in with me that we really elected Donald Trump as president. The last 4 years has truly embarrassed me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepthefaith Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 16 hours ago, Chef Jim said: Why not work on making college more affordable than making me pay for someone else’s kids college? Yes. So many universities are state run, they set the cost within their states. Many are affordable, some are free to low income students. The states themselves can control this if they want. Buffalo State for example offers free tuition to a lot of students. The grad rates for those students is awful which isn't a surprise as free stuff is often not appreciated. College isn't for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you referring to the crime bill? If so, that's a really simplistic take. The results are mixed (crime decreased drastically helping inner cities but it eventually led to mass incarceration) but there were a lot of prominent black mayors in cities that were pushing for it at the time.

Doc Brown Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 If he holds on in Georgia Biden will finish with 306 electoral college votes. The same as Trump in 2016. Also, first president since Kennedy in 1960 to wing election despite losing Ohio and Florida. 2 minutes ago, aristocrat said: he also co wrote the 86 drug bill.

Stop the corporate-capture of our public protection institutions: Ex. Trump nominates former coal lobbyist put in charge of the EPA Trump nominated the FCC lead a man who advocates government censorship of online media. Also looking to roll back deals made to prevent large ISPs from selectively throttling internet traffic. Support and restore the Independant Government inspection offices. Reinstating those who lost their jobs due to Trump whistleblower retaliation. Strengthen whistleblower protections. Drain the DOJ swamp. Hire competent cabinet and keep them in role long enough to be effective. Flush the USPS board and leadership, remove the ridiculous decades long pension funding requirement congress demanded that makes them appear to be operating in the red. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy never stops...even once his tenuous arguments are debunked he just keeps going. Not you Doc, if that is not clear. I find the ignore feature useful when dealing with someone who keeps regurgitating the same thing just moving the words around and who recasts valid counterpoints as "deflection" rather than provide meaningful arguments as to their merit. That reminds me..... I have a box to check. Edited November 7, 2020 by WideNine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
