    “I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat — it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty,”.

    I'm struggling to remember as much media coverage of the many Trump quotes like the above.

    He says something else stupid the next day which covers up the previous days stupid.

    Trump isn't held to the same standard. Hes not a politician remember so can get away with anything. This is a man who was caught on tape, in his 60s, talking about grabbing women by the pussy. Still elected. This is something the Dems need to overcome in the next 5 months. Huge task.

    I don’t know why you think there’s somehow higher standards for Biden? Trump has lowered the bar for everyone. It doesn’t matter what Biden says or does. I don’t see gaffes like that damaging his chances at all. If anything the fact that he apologised immediately makes him look far better than trump. When has trump ever apologised for anything?

    Do the Democrats think they “ Own “ the Black Vote ? ?

    The Democratic Party craft policies to attract the vote of minorities. You don't think black people are capable of voting on the issues?

    FYI the poorest states are all solid red states.

    Donald Trump press secretary inadvertently reveals president's bank details

    Hardly a surprise, she wouldn't be the sharpest TBF.

    The Southern states were Jim Crow and slave owning.

    Really? There was only one party ever in those states? And you couldn't live/vote/work there unless what? You were a Democrat? Surely you're not contending that.

    And, is that the case today? Since about 1968, the Southern States, based on the efforts instigated by Richard Nixon, have become more Republican. Are they Republican states?

    Exactly what's your point?

    He did a queer one with Stacey Abrams as well, had her and himself on a news show, she looked like she was going to get a marriage proposal, he just kept rambling and left her sitting there , she looked stunned.

    It was a cruel way of saying no but with Joe was it just another cruel power trick or did he forget to announce did he just not accept how it looked.

    And, that's no longer true. So, to at least have a common definition, how do you define a "Democratic State" versus a "Republican State?"

    This has been covered about 2 pages ago. The democrats lost the south when they introduced the civil rights act to end segregation.

    Nixon filled that void with the southern strategy and the south has been red ever since.

    If you’re going to read history, try reading more than a few quotes on Reddit.

    You should always know your history. Know what the Democratic Party was and where it came from. Maybe then you can see why the Democratic party takes the Black Vote for granted and we all know what political parties do with Voters they take for granted = Sweet fook all !

    unlike the GOP who have done so much for black voters. so much they are happy to elect a dogwhistle racist as president and are doing their level best to disenfranchise black voters nationwide.

    So with the double negative there, you're saying they have done everything for black people?

    the GOP have actively campaigned to disenfranchise black voters. you're not really on any high on high ground here.

    if we take what you say at face value they have a choice between the Dems who have done nothing for them and the GOP who have campaigned to take their vote away from them. not great choices to be sure but quite a simple one for any black voter.

    I don’t think all Black People are all the same. Some do Vote Republican and for Trump.

    I suppose not all Black People see the Democratic Party taking their Vote for granted as a good thing ! !

    Lot of that is down to the 90% vote African Americans give Democrats.

    Its coming either way, so why bother. FF and FG do the same here in many constituencies and while I don't like it, who can blame them.

    Imagine Trump had said, " You're not white if you vote democrat" He would be accused of starting a race war.
    He would be called a racist. There would be 3 pages here of spiel with 20 likes each about how Trump is the most racist person in the world.

    There is no ambiguity in the interpretation of Biden's words, to suggest otherwise is ridiculous.

    He apologized for what he said, yet there's many in this thread still defending it.

    As pointed out he literally said similar about Jewish people but wasn't even making a bad joke..
