The Biden Gaffe Machine: A Running List Of Joe Biden’s Best Slip-Ups

I'm more interested in the things Biden argued in the past that were none too friendly to blacks and even gays. If you bring up gaffes because of his obvious cognitive decline, the left will just play the whataboutism game. However, Biden's actual poltical stances on polices draws a much uglier picture for them to deal with.

The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Whatever scandals Biden has in his past, they'll make as much difference to his support as Trump's did to his.
Please don't be as out-of-touch with what's going on as conservatives accused liberals of being in 2016.Last edited by Whateverman; 06-26-2020, 06:34 PM.

I think it's safe to assume that Biden is sufficiently old and has sufficient cognitive decline that he won't actually do much, and that his government will be run by the people around him, like with Reagan. So it seems reasonable to assume a Biden administration will be a mix of Dem lobbyists and policy wonks much like the Obama/Biden administration.
Is that better than the current Trump criminal dysfunctional sociopathic radioactive dumpster fire administration? 1000 times yes. A million times yes. A mediocre/bad Biden administration will be a huge improvement on what the US has now.
I don't like Biden's own personal history on policy, but I don't think that will affect things much, or even at all, in his administration, because I don't think it will be him calling the shots. I also think that he, like a lot of dem politicians, understand which way the social winds of change have blown on black and gay issues, and won't try to go back to the policies of an earlier age."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

I note in passing that you're the first one to lob insults in this exchange. I would prefer to speak in the abstract, rather than making it personal, if you don't mind.
