    That controversial Biden quote is essentially correct though.

    If a black person votes for republicans they are actively voting not only against their own interests but also for blatant racist fascism. Doesn’t matter if they don’t like what the not racists have to offer otherwise.

    Because your mega fucked binary political system doesn’t allow for a third option they can only choose between the status quo with possibly minor improvements, or making it infinitely worse.

      The context was Biden was given an opportunity to tell Charlamagene’s audience about why they should vote for him.

      Biden is doing terrible with that demographic.

      And instead of taking that platform and doing the absolute bare minimum a candidate can be expected to do…

      Biden basically told them to fuck off and they don’t have a choice.

      That may be true

      But anyone stupid enough to say that should not be anywhere near a political campaign for animal catcher, let alone US President.

      Especially when the reason Biden was on the show in the first place, was to address the concern that neither party care about the Black community and Dems feel entitled to their vote.

      And Biden just went in there and confirmed their concerns and openly doubled down on it.

      People are mad at Charlagmene for mentioning a very real issue. But not at Biden for being the one currently causing the issue
