Joe Biden: racist?

Banning all travel from Europe — or any other part of the world — will not stop it." --Joe Biden, March 12, 2020

I'm trying to figure whether you're being deliberately obtuse or spectacularly stupid.

The object - as has been repeated across the world - is to buy time, not keep it out.

Let me help with some simple maths.

If you have one case that infects 5 other in three days, in just 15 days days you'll have 3125 cases.

If you start with 50 cases, in 15 days you'll have 31250 cases.

Which number is easier to deal with?
 
Now we have entered a new stage of "people not getting it".

This is fabulous.

I mean, she [Harris] doesn't consider him a racist, either. Especially not now, after she accepted her role as a Dem token. But, it is easy to spin such narratives, isn't it?

Not one constructive comment, just boring, pathetic ****-stirring. You should get a job at OAN with ease, if you don't already have one.

You and the OP score zero stars and no likes. Do not visit this establishment.

There really is no difference between this and the original travel ban. Look at the countries that are being blocked and which countries are not. I am not even in disagreement over it, but to act like this is different somehow is just reaching.

The Trump Travel ban only applied to people who were ethnically Chinese. Vast numbers of people who were not ethnically Chinese continued to travel from China to the US. That is what made the Trump travel bans racist.

Trumps "ban" was also far to late to accomplish anything because Covid was already heading out of control in the US while it was on the way to containment in China.


Not that Biden's bans will turn out any better in the long run, conservatives have turned the US into a country that fails at literally everything. They won't just ignore the experts, they will undermine everything the experts say to do and as a result the US will fail again, just like they have set the US up for failure in almost everything over the last 20-25 years.

At this point, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they started smuggling in people from South Africa, because of "Mah Freedums!"

This sounds like make-believe. Do you have a cite for the part in bold?

I can only imagine you are confusing something like the ability of US citizens and nationals to continue to travel back to the US for what you wrote. That would of course include ethnically Chinese Americans/nationals that fit that description as well. The same remains true with Biden's current travel ban. Functionally I am not seeing any difference between them.

More of the usual liberal hypocrisy. They believe in reproductive rights for women, but not COVID.

Not pathetic, Deplorable.

Pathetic means 'miserably inadequate; of very low standard'. Deplorable is in another league. Twisted facts, 'deniable' innuendo, barely hidden agendas, brazen lies that they know will be called out on. Deplorables don't care. They got a punch in that hurts, and that's all that matters.

But don't mistake them for Trumpers. They would be this way whoever the last Republican president was.
 
The beauty is, the die-hard Dems still can't see the real message of their double-standards.

It's awesome, quite frankly.

It's hard to look at Biden's long political history and not come to the conclusion that, if not personally racist, he's more than comfortable pandering to racist sentiments.

There's way riper fields to harvest from than targeted, time-limited restrictions to a small number of plague infected countries in Africa.

Yeah, it's not like Biden has a history free of evidence of racial biases, but this call just ain't it.

Not that I'm arguing it's a good call. I think it's silly because the variant probably doesn't even originate in Southern Africa, even if it did it's obviously not limited to spreading there at this point, the ban doesn't even stop people who are there from coming here if they're American, and the ban just incentivizes places to test less and not tell others when they do find stuff like this.

They should put in strict (and temporary) quarantine measures for all people coming in from areas it is currently shown to have spread even if they are Americans until more data is available.
