I'm not going to argue with you on TRUMP being a racist. I mean, there is PLENTY of evidence of that.

But, look at Biden's record. I'm willing to give him a pass for opposing desegregating schools back in the 1970s. It was a long time ago, and people can change.

But then there is the way he questioned Anita Hill during the Clarence Thomas hearings. He came across as not only racist but also misogynistic. There is also the crime bill he supported in 1994 which resulted in lots of people of color ending up behind bars for possession of less than a gram of drugs or stealing loose change.

There is also his eulogy of Strom Thurmond, a noted racist. There was also his comment about how Obama was the first black candidate who was clean and articulate (!), his comment about poor kids vs. white kids, his comment on Charlamagne tha God's radio show...

So here's the thing - why did the Dems give us Joe Biden? We know Trump is awful. But what about Joe Biden is supposed to excite us?
