Kamala called Biden a racist like 6 months ago
IT WAS A DEBATE!!!!
If you missed it, the joke is reference here where she essentially admits to lying in a debate and saying Biden was a racist when she didn't believe he was a racist:
Also, in response to Biden's sexual assault accusers, she's on record saying "I believe them" so it'll be interesting to see how she spins that as well. I guess when you're in a debate, it's ok to say someone is a racist and rapist even if you don't believe it, no big deal.
Biden and Harris are both horrible but they are politicans at the end of the day.
Do you remember all the horrible shit Trump said and had said about him when he was a candidate by other republican politicans. Now they all buddy buddy too.
Fuck, Trump accused a fellow GOPers dad of killing JFK. LOL. I love politics.

550k absentee/mail in ballots were rejected in the 2020 primaries, up from 320k in the 2018 elections. Main causes for rejection, no signatures and/or mailed too late.

Oh the horror of someone in politics having the same core values and ideals for years.
Think Trump will tell us all about making showers great again and how he doesn't like sharks in his speech?
I love how all the talking heads on CNN and MSNBC said it was one hell of a speech though. There is ZERO accountability being held at those news stations when it comes to democrats. Everything they say and do is rainbows shooting out of a unicorn.
Did you also see that he is facing plagiarism claims during his DNC speach? (not the first time this claim has come up with his speech writers)
We've really lost sight of how all this should work. We blindly worship politicians we like and blindly hate on ones we don't like. When in reality, we should be holding them accountable and making them beg for and actually earn our vote, not the other way around.
Coming up with excuses for giving the same speech years apart is just odd. We should demand better from these people, not come up with excuses for all of their shortcomings.

Yes, I read that article:
Biden: For love is more powerful than hate. Hope is more powerful than fear. Light is more powerful than dark.
Layton: Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair.
That's pretty weak plagiarism if that's what people want to call it. They're very generic concepts that exist and are expressed by similar political parties everywhere. It's also simple concepts. What's more likely, his speech writer looking up a Canadian letter from a decade ago or his speech writer sitting down and thinking of ways to compare and contrast the Democrat viewpoints of their party vs Trump (in their opinion)?

How is hitting on several core concepts in several minutes out of a 25 minute speech a problem?

I bet Trump sticks hard to his same rhetoric he's been giving for four years? Will Republicans complain he's not saying anything new?
This is all a non story.

If Trump is a buffoon (I agree) that can barely put two coherent sentences together in a row, what are Republicans hoping to gain by pointing at the fact that Biden gave a great speech (per Fox News) that matches many of his long-standing core values?
It's almost like there's a lack of logic on all sides...

Democrats:
10% acceptable
90% unacceptable
Republicans:
57% acceptable
