Just saw Joe Biden's interview with The Breakfast Club....

What. The. Actual. Fuck?!?!?
Let me just say this...I plan to vote for Biden come November. I've called NYC home for more than 17 years now and Trump is literally trying to kill us so I have no choice....
But seriously? Seriously?
Let me be clear, I'm not "offended" by the "you ain't black" remark so much as annoyed by it. First off, poor political choices never changed anyone's race and Biden ABSOLUTELY knew that before he said it. Second, he's running against a guy who posited that disinfectants in....
The veins and a lightbulb up the ass could cure COVID19! Instead of letting Trump shoot himself in the foot, Biden is putting his own feet in his mouth.
And all the unforced errors on Biden's part will have Democrats snatching defeat from the jaws of victory--again.
As annoyed as I am about Biden, I am even more annoyed at the Democrats who made a Biden nomination possible in the first place...
We could have had Kamala. Or Julián. Or Kirsten Gillibrand. Or Cory. Anyone who wanted to vote for an elderly white man could have pinned their hopes and dreams to Governor Jay Inslee of Washington State. Even "not ready for primetime" candidates like Beto or Pete wouldn't...
Have blundered this badly. Instead of throwing our collective weight behind these younger (and often more progressive) candidates who often punched way above their weight, too many of us refused to...
Back any of the women candidates because Hillary "lost" and maybe a woman couldn't take down Trump. Too many people like Julián and Cory but succumbed to the fear that a "non-white" candidate couldn't appeal to white voters--nevermind the fact that white people don't vote...
Democratic en masse. Too many Democrats got sucked up into Obama nostalgia, viewing Joe as a suitable proxy for the nation's first black president...Now we're stuck with a 77 year old white man who literally doesn't know when to STFU (or properly cover his mouth when he coughs)
