Kind of makes the point whenever alt-right apologists need to look to comments from an opponent from 40 years ago to prove their guy, today, is aokay. Akin to how the GOP likes to point out where the Democrats were during Jim Crow.

Speaks much more about where your party is in 2020 than anything else.

Not sure who is apologizing for the alt right, I haven't seen anyone doing this within these comments or elsewhere on HN. If it's you in your personal life, then you should definitely stop supporting the alt right - racism is evil.

I'm aware you think being for segregation 40 years ago is acceptable. I reiterate: racism is evil even 40 years ago.

Biden's comments about poor people vs white people were literally last year. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/09/us/politics/joe-biden-poo... Racism is evil even in 2019.

Ha. Boy, you make a lot of assumptions.

[nailer]

It seems to think you believe pointing out Biden's support of segregation is bad. That's not an assumption, that's logic.

It seems you making an argument about Biden being racist a while ago means he's no longer racist. Evidence suggests the contrary. That's not an assumption, that's logic.

I made no such arguments. I'm not sure you know what logic means, though, so I forgive your mistake.

Yes you did. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24426554

Come on dude, read the comment you're linking to. Where did I make an argument as to the truth or a value judgment as to Biden being a racist? At least read the comment before you respond ... and link to it.

Edit: I'll put a bow on it for you. You say:

>by that standard they're more alt right than the republicans are.

You are comparing comments made by one individual 40 years ago to where your preferred /party/ falls today. You are doing all of this in response to a question as to what meaningful difference there is between the modern GOP and alt-right.

Forget about the fact that even if Joe Biden literally wore a Klan hood on Inauguration Day 2020 your answer would still not be responsive to the question, you must be able to see the issue in needing to go back 40 years in one individual's public life to find a favorable comparison to your preferred party's current positions.

Seriously. Just stop. You're flailing.

Edit 2: Just saw your other thread where you're defending Rittenhouse in Kenosha. Clear which side of the aisle you fall. We're done here, feel free to have your last word.
