In reply to the discussion: Biden says Trump is America's first 'racist' president [View all]thesquanderer
(11,989 posts)31. "Joe misspoke" was the known price of nominating him.
We know Biden is a sloppy off-the-cuff speaker. And there's a reason he has the gaffe reputation he does. We know what we're getting. Obviously I'll vote for him happily... I believe he's a good man who will do good things (and I'd vote for a turnip over Trump). But I still wish we could have put up someone I'd have felt more enthusiastic about, whether Warren on the left, or Pete to stick with someone more moderate. It would have been wonderful to have had great communicator with a real mastery of the language (and, obviously, the policies). But Joe is good enough, and he'll have to be.

Joe misspoke. The truth that MF45 is America's most racist president in 100 years needs to be told.

It's probably the same as you would have felt if some of the other candidates had won.

I think that now is the time for mature adults to set aside their hurt feelings.

I didn't start the thread. Others complained about Biden's sloppy point here...

Why contribute to the negativity? Why keep expressing doubts and misgivings?

Exactly. I am sure he is referring to recent presidents, but regardless, the point is he is calling
