Biden's wife & daughter were killed in a no-fault car accident. To generate even more sympathy to the benefit of his political career, Biden painted the other driver as a drunk. This was a lie and he did it for decades. https://twitter.com/shadihamid/status/1316948630587179008
Joe Biden, long funded by major financial institutions like MBNA, took to the Senate floor & said fears over NAFTA were overblown & it wouldn't cost any jobs.

Roughly 1 million Americans jobs have been lost as a direct result.
In March, Biden red-baited Bernie Sanders over "praise for the Soviet Union" (Bernie praised Moscow subway stations, which are lovely, & participated in a bipartisan sister city program endorsed by Reagan) and "praise for dictators" while he, of course, praises American thugs.
Biden sided with powerful consumer lenders (a hotbed in Delaware) to further drain the resources of struggling Americans.
Joe Biden was an early participant in Democratic Leadership Council events, leading the party's rightward shift into overt corporatism. Income gains to the 1% were more significant under Clinton than they were under either Bush.
We're not a nation of saints & superpredators. Like most of us, Joe Biden has good & bad. The bad did harm to a lot of people. The "decent" line is designed to get you to ignore the political, which matters, & favor the personal, which doesn't. We're not planning a BBQ.
