When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

“Joe Biden has been making these kinds of gaffes for 40 years because he is a white man in America.“

It’s cool, we can still blame him if Biden throws this election away. If he does anything less than personally drag every die-hard “Bernie Bro” by the ear to the polling stations, and stand over their shoulder to make sure they vote for Biden, he’s clearly to blame for Trump getting re-elected.

Let’s see where the people who always complain about him move the goalposts to now.

He’s held to a ridiculously low standard. He doesn’t need a consistent voting record, and he doesn’t even need to be honest about his voting record. His eye didn’t explode. So he won.

Why do I even bother reading some of this mess anymore. I mean the fact that everyone seems to be in the tank for Biden is bloody obvious. And Biden can’t even remember shit he said then lies about having said it.

If this were an episode of Empire, I’d have said they piled too much on for one show.

Putting Anita Hill on the bench would make Clarence Thomas feel pretty awkward. Do it!

cdwag14 on Michael Jackson:

I think this is a gift to Joe Biden. It provides him with an opportunity to show he still has it on a debate stage.

Hello I’m the Root and I love licking centrist boots.

From what I’ve seen (and I’m still looking into it), Bernie surrogates can blame anemic youth turnout for losing to Biden (in the states in which he did) on Super Tuesday.

So the old, rich, racist, sexist New Yorker is taking credit for a positive trend that started before him? Hmmm...where have I seen this before?

Regarding the steady popularity of candidates like Michael Bloomberg among assorted black voters— all candidates deserve to be challenged vigorously. Including the ones we “like”. With regards to a Silent Generation personality like Mr. Bloomberg, it kind of goes without saying that a high degree of his favorability…

To state what is obvious to most people about Bloomberg’s answer: He acts as if there was a murder rampage that he had to address. The murder rate was already at an effective historic low when he took office and continued to go lower following a very clear trend that preceded Giuliani and correlated with national…

Gotta be kidding. It all hinges on what Grandma says and cookout invitations? The Root is doing it’s best to get another snakeoil salesman elected (Biden) who will do no more for the 99% and minorities than did the first black president (Clinton) or the second (Obama). Remember whose boss bailed out the banks after…

You have ranked Joe Biden, Liz Warren, and Pete Buttigieg above Tulsi and Bernie???? Literally can’t breathe. You support candidates that support expanding the state apparatus of the military, which is bombing African and colonized people every damn day. You support candidates that support the white supremacist…

It is so irresponsible for a black publication like the Root to say candidates like Bloomberg, Steyer,Biden and others are better candidates for black folks than Bernie Sanders. You really cant be serious. This is a joke. Black people need a progressive, not a neoliberal or billionaire. And I’m not a bot or a Bernie…

are you ready?

Biden at #1 is indefensible. He was the master of the “states rights” racist dogwhistle when he was fighting desegregation and working with actual white supremacists (which he subsequently bragged about). He shilled ruthlessly for credit card companies, over and against consumers. He was a major part of the Anita…
