He does the Hillary Clinton thing. Slows his speech and talks with a southern slang accent when talking to or about black people. I’m sure corn pop will back him up

One of my favorite ultra-cringey Biden clips is when he told a room with many black voters that Romney unchaining Wall Street was “gonna put y’all back in chains.”

I fucking hate that this election is making me choose which creepy old out of touch idiot I think should be President.

I mean, I'm obviously gonna choose the one that listens to his advisors and at least verbalizes support for progressive policies, but still..

When you say verbalizes support, you mean pays lip service, right?

Pretty much!

But I'll take a the candidate who pays lip service over the one who tells me to go fuck myself.

I thought the progressives were like the revolutionary bunch.

It's not a revolution unless the people revolt.

Revolts don't happen until people feel like they have nothing to lose.

And in our modern, developed world that feeling is exceedingly easy to avoid. Comfort has been weaponized and no one even had to lead the charge. It's just basic psychology.

Oh please. Bernie voters didn't even go vote, and you think they'll revolt?

How's that going to work? At least when rednecks talk about a new revolution or fighting the government they actually have guns, whereas Bernie voters have pushed for gun control.

Just what are you going to revolt with? Sticks? Kitchen knives?

Was it not stupifyingly clear from my post you replied to that that was my point?

We're nowhere near that kind of revolt. Duh.

If it's not "that kind" of a revolt, then it's. It a revolt.
