I really, really want Trump to come out and say the exact same thing Biden said, word for word. Just to see what happens.

That would be weird, even for him. I mean, he keeps talking about himself in the third person, but given he's incredibly racist, it'd also be an incredibly strange statement.

Then again, choosing between Trump and Trump is probably exactly the scenario Trump would want for the 2020 election.

The left can find subtle racism and white supremacy in Peloton videos but Good Ol' Joe was just joking.

It's as if they are different people or something.

Of course they do. They'll excuse, deny, or deflect whenever Trump does anything, but then gleefully point out whenever evul feminazi libruls do the same thing. Typical schoolyard bully MO, except this time it's not 12 year olds, it's adults with voting rights.
 
Biden makes gaffes. He has a long history of it. It won't be the last before November.

Biden apologized. Trump would probably deny he said it at all and blame the media for Fake News.

Of course he gave a fake apology. And of course you're all accepting it without question.

As I said, I am not that bothered by it. But sure, if Biden thought that what he said was wrong, then isn't apologizing for it what he is supposed to do?

I mean, we often hear about people who say the wrong thing, sometimes on Twitter, sometimes on TV, and that that is not enough. We want more! We want blood!

What do you want?

Trolls, feed, don't, bait, derail, hypocrisy, etc.

Yes. But what makes you so sure Biden thought that what he said was wrong? I'm seeing absolutely no doubt or questioning of the sincerity of the apology from Biden supporters.

How about a world where black people are allowed as much freedom to choose what to think as white people?

With all gaffes being equal (which of course they’re not), I’ll probably go with the candidate who didn’t also kill thousands of Americans due gross incompetence.

Sorry, no one is buying it. For a pretense of ethical standards to be effective, one requires at least a little bit of credibility.

Then it looks like we agree. I don't buy it either, and I agree with your suggestion that for Biden's pretense of ethical standards to be effective, he's require at least a little bit of credibility.
 
I find it funny that POC that I follow on twitter didn't even react to the Biden joke in any personal way. Their reaction was "oh crap, what will white journalists do with this?" They are so in for Biden that they were simply worried about how the media would portray it.
 
Quick hint: people from a political party that tries to stop us from voting at all, and then calls us brainwashed plantation slaves that only want welfare when we respond negatively, don't have a say here.

In other words, the more or less universal reaction from black Americans to GOPers trying to make hay out of this is "shut up."

My hat’s off to you. That was well played.

But you raise an interesting point.

Personally, I don’t think Biden lacks credibility on the issue of ethical standards, but my standards might not be as high as yours.

What’s one ethical standard that you think is important for a presidential candidate to have where Biden lacks credibility?

And the more the GOP tries to push it, the more it will backfire on them.

Prediction: This will be gone from all legitimate media within a few days.

Why would you find that funny? It's your Twitter feed, right? You curate it, you filter it for viewpoints that interest you, etc. Do you even follow any conservative POC on Twitter? Why would your own feed that you picked out yourself surprise you?
 
This is truly amazing to me. Surprising.

But it really shouldn’t be. It’s been said many times that you could run a smelly sock (or whatever) against Trump and we should vote for the sock.

No mention of “man, both parties have given us some real stinkers; maybe we should all vote third-party and send a message to them.”

What we get is:

“Believe Women, just not that one! Biden 2020.”

“Don’t be an Uncle Tom, Vote for Uncle Joe! Biden 2020.”

“I’m Joe Biden. I apologize for those messages so please still vote for me.”

"Listen to women, hear their accusation" is not "believe their (contradictory) accusation(s) and prevent anyone else with an accusation from making it" She's been heard. She's shown herself full of it.

In the system we have, and that we had no role in designing, the realistic choice is between two candidates. There is substantial evidence that if the people who cast "protest" votes for Gary Johnson and Jill Stein in the battleground states had voted for Clinton, she would have won. There is no doubt that if the "pox on both your houses" voters who stayed home had held their noses and voted for Clinton, she would have won. In 2000 in Florida, if the people who cast protest votes for Ralph Nader had voted for Al Gore, he would have won.

Biden would not have been my first choice. Based on the primary results, he was not a lot of voters' first choice. But today, a vote for anyone but Biden, or no vote at all, is a vote for Trump. That would be the worst outcome.
