with that?

It’s interesting to see people here promote it while not acknowledging its dark side.

To the right and now the left.

Icky.

This clearly breaks your rule on going back too far in a candidate's life...

Article Entitled : " BIDEN SAID IN 1977 THAT CERTAIN DESEGREGATION POLICIES WOULD CAUSE HIS CHILDREN TO GROW UP IN A RACIAL JUNGLE " ... Published July 15 , 2019 … Hmm

As I have shown you, there is the difference.

Since the poster didn't bother providing a link.

here's a link to the article for anyone interested in context:

https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-said-desegregation-would-create-a-racial-jungle-2019-7

"In the quote, which appears to come from a congressional hearing related to anti-busing legislation, Biden emphasized wanting to "insure we do have orderly integration of society," adding he was "not just talking about education but all of society." "

I was posting my link at the same time. Kudos.

I'm very glad to be able to read this. It helps me to understand some things that I've wondered about.

There is no greater threat to liberal democracy than populism.

Resist brothers and sisters. Resist!

They praise the unwavering consistency in his positions on the issues over his political career.

Then, when past statements like this arise, they brush it off with "people change".

Hmm.

Personally, I think he just made a bunch of dumb statements when he was younger (though, many were well into adulthood). They shouldn't necessarily be relevant to the current election cycle, but summarily discounting everything questionable that he's said in the past while simultaneously praising him for never changing his mind on anything is a bit disingenuous.

Not to mention attacking other candidates for things they did or said decades ago. Can't have it both ways.

I'm not a Sanders supporter but whoever owns that Twitter account is an asshole. Gee, Sen Byrd was once a Klan leader. Was HE run out of the Democratic party?? No.

That was just the first one I saw. There's a lot more now. Maybe the Richard Spencer endorsement of Joe Rogan's endorsement got people in a bad mood.

I don't believe for a second that he's a racist.

"In 3rd grade, Bernie said girls are icky."

It was one to remember. Some of it is back for another try. See post 5.

to find the many threads about it?

at that one debate

I had seen some stuff on Twitter accusing him of having racist views but had never seen that extreme here.

Not to be confused with the Strom Thurman eulogy wave. There was also a wave of post 5. A wave of 'Joe puts people in prison for fun.' (crime bill) I can't remember them all. I know there were some in December because that's when Nina Turner went South to tell all the Democrats who lived there that they couldn't vote for Biden anymore and that he was pimpin' Obama.' Her words not mine. Bernie's poll numbers among black voters dropped 5 points. LOL A lot came out then though catapulted through the usual sources landing here.

Back, anyway the Strom Thurmond outrage I saw was over Biden saying nice things about Thurmond when Thurmond's family invited him to speak at Strom's eulogy. Now here's Bernie saying nice things about George Wallace. The third time this has happened. Also with Crime Bill and SS. It's almost as if this stuff is coming out in a pattern. Bernie attacks. His attack is countered. Wild. Anyway, Karma has not been kind to Bernie.

...to which the Hillbots threw a fit and declared that "Obama is a secret Reagan supporter!!!"

Lather, rinse, repeat...

And, by the way, it takes an enormous amount of chutzpah for Biden supporters to try to paint Sanders as a racist sympathizer, considering Uncle Joe's long track record.

sanders needs to be vetted

'The whole point is people like ****** and ****** are giving a preview of exactly HOW they are going to weaponize Bernie's past against him.'

This is a response I got today on Twitter. A lot of the stuff coming out now is from right wingers. I blanked out the names to protect the innocent. Me. LOL This stuff coming out is a preview of GE vetting. It'll be worse then for him if he gets that far. He needs to be vetted now to prevent a GE disaster.

Demagogues like wallace and trump are aware of people's fears, anxieties, and prejudices, and then exploit them for their own gain.

Good leaders, like Bernie, are also aware of what people are feeling. However rather then exploit people's fear and anxieties, good leaders will try to address them in a reasonable and compassionate way.

...kinda stuff isn't good.

Joe has said some dumb shit too and has evolved on many issues. Booker and Harris acted like he was the second coming of Bull Connor for a minute.

But this isn't the game we want to play. Neither Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden are racist.

I mean, there was a pledge to keep it constructive. His national campaign co-chair saying this -Nina Turner: Joe Biden Is Pimpin’ Proximity To Obama, Not Earning Black Vote Like Bernie - started the game. And it blew up on them today.
