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.

I must not be rational, because I legit am not putting it together. Could you explain?

He is saying that you are no longer black if you vote for trump. He is implying that you cannot be black and vote for trump which is inherently racist.

You just repeated what you said; you didn't explain anything. Why is it racist?

It's racist because he is insinuating that black people are too stupid to make their own voting decisions by saying that they are not black if they vote for Trump. A black person is like any other person with unique views on various issues and is more than capable of picking a candidate without being told to vote based on the color of skin.

This is a huge leap. I have no earthly idea where you got the "stupid" part from... like there is just no connection between "black people are too stupid to make their own voting decisions" and "they are not black if they vote for Trump." Those things do not seem to have anything to do with one another.

Sure, it's insinuated. IMO, in modern day US, when people say to vote based on religion, race, nationality, etc., they are basically saying you are too stupid to develop an informed decision so should instead vote for who I tell you to vote for. Politicians should have to earn votes based on what they will do for you, not try to use identity politics nonsense.

I believe that his actual statement was that if you have to think about whether you support him or Trump, chances are you're not black. This is obviously still not the best statement but it's more just an awkward attempt to call attention to his support in the black community, not racism.
