Democratic Primary Thread: The Deuce

[Clyde_Style]

Not a fan of the fact that uncle tom is trending. Regardless of who anytbody is supporting, that's dangerous rhetoric

Yet that and another phrase do pop into my head every time I see a black Republican supplicating themselves to Trump. It is hard not to think that when there are black people like this setting themselves on fire.

I don't write them for the reason you're saying, but I do think them.

Ironically, it is Republicans who are making it trend. They are tweeting non-stop about how they anticipate liberals calling Herschel Walker and Tim Scott Uncle Toms.

At the moment its a mixture. Apparently started when walker spoke and now the repubs are amplifying it, I assume they hope it becomes a story so they can use it in conjunction with Biden's previous comments.

Yeah, bait, bait, bait. That's what they do.

And they do it because these toadies probably do little to attract additional black votes so the only yield they actually can harvest from minor black celebrities who eat from their trough is to bait people into being reactive so they can flip the script and say "See! You're the racists!"

what a bunch of jokers

Correct. It's a set-up to feed their last remaining hail mary who's racist now? slander tactics against Biden

They're praying Charlamagne Da Clod takes the bait

They want our land, not our people...The disaster relief mess made that much clear (also the way they downplayed deaths and mishandled Puerto Rico's recovery is an interesting corollary for how they blew the pandemic). Unfortunately most Dem gestures feel empty and oversimplified. The Democratic double whammy of PROMESA austerity and Rosello's leaked hateful texts are recent sources to feel that "second class citizen" is a classification shared by a majority of our legislators, not just the ones that suck at fronting.

While that ladiy's mother may have known the issues this woman chose to speak has no clue and no right to Identify as a Latina. I say that a Puerto Rican American. I doubt she has ever heard a racial slur directed at her I doubt she has never served in the Military or done anything for this nation or the Island of Puerto Rico.

I still think it should be mandatory to get into Politics to serve in the military at least one term. learn how to live closely with people of every type and color learn to depend on them because your life may depend on it. Live in the tight quarters and learn how to respect to the other person as a person. Then go into politics because you will have a greater understanding of the other people and cultures.

The sad part is Puerto Ricans have served and gave their lives for the US since W.W.1, every generation of my family has had members that have served proudly down to the next generation. We need to become a state with the Virgin Islands in the worse way we have all the sacrifices but with limited benefits.

Just look at the response for hurricanes. The Jones act is laughable at best and is a way to drive costs up on the Island so the mainland profits. Start with repealing that and then there is a basis for talks. What is the republican nightmare is Puerto Ricans coming here and because we are US citizens and voting Dem. Look at Florida as an example.

I can’t bring myself to care. They put themselves on a platform to praise a white supremacist President and the Republican Party is actively harmful to African Americans. You don’t have to support the Democratic Party but any black person supporting the cult of Trump only cares about furthering a right wing agenda.

This is my point this is not about rep versus dem or right versus left this truth versus lies and racism

How could you even compare these two?

One speech is noise of a wild animal making meaningless sounds.

The other is a beautiful seal singing.

I liked that second speech just fine

Really rousing, convincing, completely committed speech showing Joe Biden years ago being exactly who he is today - a champion of the oppressed and a really decent, good guy.

We need to change Trump for him so much, because we need our democracy to survive. I cannot see Joe standing in the way of progressives who have an agenda to improve our lot.

What is being completely under-reported and/or under-estimated is Biden's sense of service and duty. This bodes well for progressive causes, because as President he is no longer in the supporting role. He does want to serve the public and do the right thing and I believe he is signaling quite loudly that he understands the zeitgeist and has a deep appreciation of this pivot point in history well beyond the need to beat Trump.

One line in the video was that he supported the people of South Africa, not necessarily their government, and was lambasting the Secretary of State for missing that difference. Biden might just want to live the later years of his life with as much purpose as he did the beginning.

The apartheid confrontation is a classic. He has it in him to be a great president.

And that is the upside to being an older president. He's working only on his legacy, not on getting re-elected.

[HarthorneWingo]

you aren't going to win the electoral college if you lose the popular vote by a landslide. What are you talking about?

And the political landscape is nothing at all like 2016 so what you thought last time is not very applicable this time

Well let me clarify, I think winning by +5-8 million votes is a landslide. So losing by that much but still winning the electoral is very possible.

Anyways, the rust belt won him the election last time. And poor white folks like him more than ever.

If he wins, I see it being something like this:

https://www.270towin.com/maps/47yWP

no it isn't.

I know 270towin and if you look at the 2016 results you can see by clicking on PA, WI and MI the electoral college flips back from Trump to Clinton and she wins.

He won those states by 70,000 votes

You're talking about stacking 2-5 Million more votes on top of Hillary's 3M popular vote margin

So what you're talking about is illogical. If you increase the differential by millions and not tens of thousands, Biden would have either a winning or dominant electoral total to go with a popular landslide total. Florida is very much in play as well as other Red states that Clinton couldn't dream of winning in 2016. This is apples to oranges

So you're saying it's "in the bag"?
