Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Nope. Just following the logic of "everything before the 'but' is usually disingenuous" to apply to an otherwise self-contradictory statement from a notoriously disingenuous politician 🤷
Just following the logic of "If Kamala doesn't confirm my bias, she must be lying."
And her statement is not "self-contradictory". She thinks Biden said hurtful things in the past but she doesn't think he is racist.
Frankly that could apply to a lot of white people. So if you don't understand how she can truthfully say those things, that's on you.
Which would mean she was being disingenuous or wrong.
It doesn't get much more racist than protesting desegregation bussing because "I don't want my kids to grow up in a racial jungle".
That's almost Trumpian levels of turning the dog whistle into a bullhorn.
Bruh, my post is right above yours. Everyone can see you intentionally misquoted me. And intentionally misquoted Kamala.
Why do you keep making up quotes? Is it because you think your version sounds worse than the actual quote or is it because you haven't bothered to find the actual quote?
You might think so, but this is not about whether you think he's racist. The question is what Kamala thinks, and she already said she doesn't agree with you.
I'm not. I misremembered the exact wording, but here's his statement against desegregation bussing in full:
Did you also misremember my post? I didn't say Kamala thinks Biden said racist things, and she didn't say that either.
Anyway, you might think that statement makes Biden a racist, and that's your prerogative. But Kamala does not have to agree with you.
Maybe she thinks it was a hurtful thing to say but that's not enough to make Biden a racist. Maybe she thinks it doesn't reflect who Biden is today. There are countless other possible explanations for her position, and ultimately she doesn't need you to tell her what she thinks.
Misremembering something where wording is important, then presenting it as fact is very close to lying.
Not at all.
We need to go to the store, but let's hurry so we can get back home.
She is very talented, but she is also very modest.
The weather was cold, but the scenery was beautiful.
The movie was long, but it kept my attention throughout.
I mean I could go on and on. If this is the one thing your holding into turn you've got nothing.
