Voting is up from 2016. The black vote is up. As opposed to 2016 white people like Biden as opposed to Hillary and no one knew how bad Trump would be... well black folks did but I digress.  White people did not understand that Trump was a horror show.  The conditions are entirely different.

Dems have a much better chance of taking the Senate with Biden on top than Sanders not because Sanders could not have lead the ticket but because he made no effort to grow beyond his base. Dems only need to flip 4 seats however they are all in red/ swing state. A Bernie supported candidate has never been able to flip…

How is Biden telling one guy standing in front of him that he is full of shit remotely the same as Clinton saying that a large chunk of the population are deplorable? That’s the hill we’re on here?

“Among the letter’s signatories are prominent progressive economists like former Labor secretary Robert Reich; Jeffrey Sachs, a leading expert on poverty; Gabriel Zucman and Emmanuel Saez, two professors at the University of California, Berkeley, who laid out plans for a wealth tax; and Darrick Hamilton, a professor…

The Root’s coverage of anything related to the election is always far superior because Jezebel writers can’t even pretend to hide their bias and try to be objective, or look at things with a perspective different from their largely NYC life. It does often make for some comical reading though because the writer usually…

Seriously. He handled it exactly how he should have to relate to the people he needs to vote for him. This was a clear win. The author is mad about that, so she wrote a disingenuous article intentionally misreading the circumstances.

Adding in, that according to the local news, most people around here in Metro Detroit liked it. We do like our guns for hunting, we have one beautiful state loaded with too much game, so the sport is necessary as well as a hobby. But, 86% of us believe in common sense gun control.

As the daughter of a former UAW president. Biden spoke the language. Nothing at all anti-union here.

Agreed. This is a nothing burger. How is this supposed to make Biden look bad or anti-union or anti-automaker? The guy was looking for an ambush ala ‘Joe the Plumber’ and instead was told he was full of shit. If it was Bernie I’d applaud it. It was Biden and I applaud it. It’s past time these misinformed people out…

I’m not exactly a Biden fan, but I have no idea how Biden telling off an asshole amounts to “anti-union.” Just because someone happens to be a member of an organization doesn’t mean they get a pass on everything they say or believe just because you support the organization.

The guy *was* full of shit and a horse’s ass, though.

Precisely. Joe Auto Worker would likely be pawning his precious firearms were it not for Obama’s swift efforts in saving the industry. Other workers who lost everything in the crash were not nearly as fortunate. The nearsightedness of the lemmings on the right is staggering.

But don’t you know union members are working class which means they’re without fault and always victims because only the elites are capable of being greedy, racist, selfish shit-people?

Biden’s in a no-win situation there. When some loon is spouting off conspiracy theories about “takin muh gunz” there’s literally no way to respond to that will make you look good. He obviously can’t ignore him and run away. Saying “no, i’m not” only gets met with “uh-huh, are to” and talk of videos they saw on…

LOL both “appropriate” and “remotely Presidential” ain’t what they used to be.

He wasn't wrong. Not only that but thanks to Obama and Biden those auto workers have a fucking job right now.

And yet its FAR more presidential than anything we’ve seen the last three years.

I think it will too. I don’t believe this will hurt Joe Biden in any way with people who were even remotely likely to vote for him in the first place. If you’re a NRA voter, you’re voting for Trump. You’re not considering Biden or Sanders or any of the other Democratic candidates. What it does do, is appeal to…

Ok, I know it’s not appropriate or remotely presidential, but I got a kick out of it. 

I can't help it--I find it endearing, and think it will end up energizing the base (?)
