Is Biden any better? Quoting 'adventured' from elsewhere in this thread:

> As opposed to Biden's belligerent life-long racism, which the left universally goes a great distance out of its way to ignore?

> Even Kamala Harris called him a racist. She did her best to run away from that after it was no longer convenient of course.

> See: Biden's statements on "a racial jungle," segregation, busing, and how he didn't want his children going to desegregated schools.

> See: Biden's support of the crime bill that specifically targeted and locked up a million black people.

> See: Biden's past friendships and associations with 'former' KKK memembers like Robert Byrd (someone he considered a good friend and mentor). Byrd was one of the most vile pieces of scum elected to the US Government in the past century. How's that for associating with white supremacists?

> See: Biden's racist statements about Obama prior to the 2008 election.

"what about Biden?" in no way excuses Trump's statements.
It is in the context of Trump supposedly “making it cool to be a racist”. You’re not replacing Trump with a pure and just candidate like Sanders, but rather with another racist (if you believe Trump deserve to be labeled a racist) who’s been on the wrong side of history for the majority of his political career. The only difference is that the mainstream media has abandoned all journalistic integrity in order to protect Biden and attack Trump at all costs. They’re really no better than FoxNews at this point.
