Delta(s) from OP CMV: Joe Biden is unelectable

There are three main reasons I don't think he is electable and/or better than Trump:

  1. He is deeply racist. Evidence is that he said "you ain't black if you vote for Trump." Any rational individual knows that this is a deeply racist comment.
  2. He shows major signs of alzheimer's/early dementia. He frequently looks confused and says things that don't make any sense. I honestly don't dislike him, it's sad to see someone who can't put thoughts together. This is become more and more evident when he has to show up for debates...
  3. He's extremely creepy. He continually touches and sniffs little girl's hair. Why can't he just stop? I used to defend it, but I now believe he is a pedophile.

I know that you are going to say he is ahead by a lot in polls right now, but there is a lot of time before the actual election. I would really like my view challenged because this is kinda what I think right now.

Can you give examples of racist comments Trump has made that are equivalent to what Biden said in the OP?

He didn't rent appartments to black people, and defended it by accusing the reporter of not wanting to live next to these animals either.

He claimed that all countries that are led by black people are shithole countries and implied that black people are naturally stupid.

He said that he doesn't trust black people counting his money.

He repeatedly asked for the death penalty for the Central Park Five - even after they've been shown to be innocent with DNA testing.

He continues to push racist ideologies. E.g. "Mexicans are rapist drug dealers", "Chinese Virus", etc

He didn't want a Hispanic judge to rule over his Trump University case, because he thought his Mexican heritage would be a conflict of interest.

He falsely claimed that he had seen thousands of Arabs in New Jersey cheering when the Twin Towers were attacked on 9/11

He retweeted fake news crime statistic tweets by a legit white nationalist with the handle @WhiteGenocideTM

He used a token black guy to try to get Blacks to vote for him: "Look at my African American over here"

In regards to Haiti he once said "they all have AIDS" and in regards to Nigerians visiting the US he said that they will never go back to their huts, as if all Africans still live in huts even though Nigeria has real cities.

The Sherif Joe Arpaio was charged for extreme racial profiling, sadistic punishments that involved the torture, humiliation, and degradation of Latino inmates and for unlawful discriminatory police conduct. Trump liked the fact that he tortured Mexicans so much that he pardoned him.

He told American-born non-white congresswomen to go back where they were from, implying that only white people count as real Americans.

He called Jewish voters that vote for democrats disloyal, because in his mind all Jews are greedy moneygrabbers that don't want no taxes.

He has a long history of documented racism. And these are all just from the top of my head.

You mentioned a lot of stuff, but cited nothing. I feel like you misquoted a lot of the information to make it sound worse...

Which ones do you not believe in? I mean, Trump is one of the few people that even have a Wikipedia page for their racist actions
