In reply to the discussion: Biden says Trump is America's first 'racist' president [View all]NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)56. Yes you did. Stop playing games.
I did not call you a name.
Yes you did. Stop playing games. You know perfectly well what you did. You called me "presumptuous". It's right there for anyone to see.
I do not think my post in any way made it harder to defeat Trump.
That individual post itself? No, of course not. I was, however very clear in what I said earlier. It's the negativity and the promotion of the negativity that's harmful.
Let me repeat again, for the third time: The constant negativity and expressions of regret and resentment and misgivings only serve to create an atmosphere of negativity. That negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.
But I'm not going to say I thought he was our best candidate.
Nobody is asking you to do that. But I can tell you that the all the hand-wringing and open hostility toward Biden do not do anything to help our side to get ALL the votes that we need to defeat Trump.
If all you want to read are the comments of cheerleaders, consider sticking with the Biden 2020 group, that's what it's for.
Wouldn't you rather do your part to build Biden up instead of tearing him down? The primary is over. It's done. It's finished. Move on. Get over it. Stop fighting. Stop smearing. Stop nit-picking. Stop denigrating. Stop attacking. Stop regretting. Stop grieving.
What I'm saying is this: The time for wound-licking, and tail-tucking, and pouting and cave-dwelling is over. It's time to fight the GOP.
I absolutely support Biden.
Yes. Of course you do. I'm sure of it.Edit history

That's the biggest hole in my record collection. I never owned a copy of "Pet Sounds."

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
