    Ah yes, the old, tired argument that if I don’t like Biden, I must be a Trump supporter falling for propaganda. The guy is not coherent enough to be President, in my opinion. These 80 year olds need to get out of politics.

      He is as coherent as he has been in the last 20 years. So yes, you are falling for propaganda. There is zero evidence that he has dementia.

            “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean.” – Biden, referring to President Obama

            “Poor kids are just as smart and talented as white kids!”

            “It’s awful hard, as well, to get Latinx vaccinated as well. Why? They’re worried that they will be vaccinated and deported.”

            “Unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.”

            “That’s like saying you . . . before you got in this program, you’re take [sic] a test whether you’re taking cocaine or not. What do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?” – Biden asking a Black reporter if he’s a cocaine junkie after the reporter asked if he had taken a cognitive test

            “You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”

              Um… some of these make you sound like the racist one.

              Like suggesting that saying to a black reporter if they’re a junkie it’s racist as if only black people use cocaine or are junkies. That’s you assuming that, not Biden.

              And you are the one making the assumption about Latinx people: https://www.aamc.org/news/we-need-get-more-latinx-people-vaccinated-heres-how

              Also, every single one of those is out of context and none of them are sourced.

                out of context

                Ah yes, the old “out of context” argument. You know damn well if any Republican said any one of those things, people would be out with the pitchforks. But because it’s a Democrat, you’re OK with it and blow it off as “out of context.” Even though the guy didn’t want his kids growing up in a “racial jungle” (his words, not mine).

                If you can’t look at your own side critically, you are what is wrong with this country.

                  So you’re claiming context has no relevance to things people say? Really?

                  Because, again, without context, you’re the one coming off as a racist.
