I'm not sure what Joe Biden has done to impress anyone during this election cycle other than continue to be a breathing human being who is not Donald Trump. It's amazing that it may turn out to be enough.

Honestly that is all I care about at this point. Although he just spoke and I thought did a great job with what he said and spoke well.
And to be clear I think Trump is still the favorite unfortunately. I just cant imagine anyone (who isnt fully in his camp already) seeing this past week and thinking it was a good week for Trump."I知 willing to sacrifice everything for this team.

They are rioting in the streets at a level that I don't really recall seeing in my lifetime. Maybe Rodney King? It was certainly worse in LA, but not sure it was worse nationally. I don't think this is just about George Floyd. It's about the overall situation and minorities feeling like they aren't being heard, and I think Trump is a big part of that. All he had to do was somewhat convincingly act like he cares and listen to the black community, but he can't resist. The minority vote may not be enough for Biden, but I think that they will support him. I also think we are going to see a lot of Barack Obama on the campaign trail as well as very likely a minority running mate.
This is my position, 100%. This dude got on a call with a bunch of governors and called them weak for not using military weaponry and tactics to 'dominate' their own citizens. Then he (allegedly) hid in a bunker underneath the White House before emerging to Tear Gas protesters on his way to a photo op. The shit show is just beginning.Eat Donuts!

I don't think it's as much about that, as it is not voting for a President who seems poorly equipped to handle most difficult situations. This is just another in a long line of examples. I also think that the continuing authoritarian rhetoric should be troubling more people than it is.
We absolutely shouldn't be condoning the violence and property destruction. If we use that as a reason to de-legitimize the entire protest I think we are missing the point and will only see more of this.Last edited by boozehound; 06-02-2020 at 10:27 AM.
