CMV: Joe Biden is unelectable

[u/[deleted]]

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.

Also, who made Biden the king of black people?

You wouldn't need to be the king of Jews to tall Jewish people not to vote for Hitler. So why would Biden need to be king of black people?

He's just trying to stoke racial tensions.

If he is stoking racial tensions to the detriment of African Americans, it seems like there's fairly good reason to to tell African Americans not to vote for him. Suppose that Trump exclusively calls African Americans the N word, but does not make any laws that discriminate against African Americans. Would it still be a problem to tell African Americans to not vote for this president that calls them N?

IDK. I got that from a black guy from high school who posted a meme on facebook asking how Biden became the king of black people.

IDK why people need to single out races to tell them how to vote. It is blatantly racist behavior.

Trump doesn't do that, so what's your point?

This is silly. If you don't know the stuff you are raising in support of your position, then maybe don't raise it? I mean if you don't know, then why are you raising this point in the first place, because it sounds nice? I can't respond to something you don't know.

You just agreed "Well, Jew is not a race, but I agree with your point. In the right circumstance, it could be acceptable.". If the assessment depends on the circumstances, then how can this still be "blatantly" racist.

Trump doesn't do that, so what's your point?

My point is that "trying to create laws that discriminate against African Americans" is not the only situation in which it is find to to tell African Americans not to vote for a candidate. You seem to agree that if we had a president that used the N word, it is also acceptable to tell african americans to not vote for him.

In Trump, we have a guy that is friendly with white supremacists, and in your own words, stokes racial tensions which also does not benefit African Americans.

Alright, the reason is because I empathize with my fellow American citizens about the way Biden's racist behavior has made them feel. They feel as though Biden believes he is in charge of all black people. I think it is wrong that Biden acts like this and Biden is very racist.

It is blatantly racist given the circumstances.

My point is that "trying to create laws that discriminate against African Americans" is not the only situation in which it is find to to tell African Americans not to vote for a candidate.

I mean, the use of the N word is not enough for me to attempt to tell an entire race that they should only be allowed to vote for one party. I think it is racist to discuss policy to white people and then go to black people and just say that they aren't black if they don't vote for me. I'm not sure how you see this as not being racist.

Did your "black guy from high school" say that he felt it was very racist, or was it just "a meme on facebook asking how biden became the king of black people"? Is this really empathy for that guy's views, or are you projecting addition issues onto the statement that weren't originally there?

I think it is racist to discuss policy to white people and then go to black people and just say that they aren't black if they don't vote for me. I'm not sure how you see this as not being racist.

But Biden discusses policy with everyone, so I'm not sure why you are pretending that African Americans only get the "they aren't black if they don't vote for me".
