Joe Biden: Poor kids are just as intelligent as white kids
- Thread starter Uncle at Nintendo
- Start date
We already have an alzheimers patient in office right now, we don't need another one lol
Biden seriously reminds me of the old guys who stay working way too long and can't keep up at the office. It's sad to see in a day to day kind of situation but pretty dangerous here given what's at stake.
Can you guys imagine a Trump v Biden debate? Two senile old men who can barely remember why they're there.
I swear I've seen this before and it's fuckin freakin' me out because what kind of weirdo makes the same blatant mistake twi-- oh right biden
We haven't cleared the primaries and he's gaffing up already. Between that and Trump batting him around, we'll see how "electable" he is.
Here's an interesting thing, too. If he just meant poor and rich kids, he's not even explicitly correct. We know that poverty negatively affects intelligence. It's part of the cycle of poverty. Poor kids are born with the potential to be as smart as rich kids, but it's more difficult to achieve a 1-to-1 parity. A recent study showed that poverty can affect IQ up to 13 points, for example.
Knowing this and fighting it with things like public assistance, free school, universal healthcare, etc. is important in the fight against poverty.

I mean judging by the person that won the office last time Joe is basically the next president already
In a coherent teleprompter reading contest, I actually think Trump bests Biden.
And it's not like Trump is particularly skilled in that area.

Are many other Era member's red alert alarm bells going off like mine are? We need this guy off the stage.
He might be a darling or "most electable" to too many dems, but in the general he'll sink like a rock. Seriously, they're putting up a candidate who is objectively worse than Hillary Clinton as "most electable". WTF? Fox gonna do their thing calling him a socialist, actual socialists or socialist adjacent are gonna turn their noses up, Trump's gonna get his "zingers" on him... I'll vote for him in the general, but I know Joe Biden is voter suppressing, democratic own goaling, given human form.

Does he actually have Alzheimer's? He was just Vice President for 8 years and he still thinks we're in the 90s?
I don't know why he's the frontrunner. Wouldn't you want someone younger and brighter to contrast Trump?
In arguably the most important election of our lifetime, this is probably not the guy to put our faith in.
Dems love to do this dumb thing where if they lose an election they assume moving right is the only way to ever win again.

General election commercials full of clips of his gaffes and his massaging women and smelling their hair... It's going to be brutal.
how is it a slip up when he said the same thing twice given what he said the first time
Joe Biden has made a career of falling upward. Pretty sure he loses more often than he wins, but somehow...here he is.Are many other Era member's red alert alarm bells going off like mine are? We need this guy off the stage.

I think people like Biden because he looks like he's got the chops to dunk on Trump like he did on Paul Ryan in the VP debate.
Obama also had the wit to handle the right and troll them.
Other candidates may have the better policies but people want someone like that it seems.
but IQ really shouldn't be equated with intelligence, it's a very flawed metric.
In a two party system it wont be so brutal, especially when the other guy is so much worse
Out of all of the major candidates, ie folks who will probably make it to the next round of debates (Biden, Bernie, Warren, Harris, Beto, Buttigieg, Castro), Biden is one of the least likely candidates in my mind that will win the presidency. Beyond the disgusting quotes in this thread, the guy just comes off as old.
The longer he's able to stay in the presidential race, the more pronounced this will become to everyone. You can't make mistakes like this a year from now, especially when turning out the black vote is so key to our success in November 2020

But does that really matter in the end? I feel like going all-out "gottem!" on Trump is sort of pointless, and Hillary tried that in the debates.
if you slow it down, he actually said poor black kids but he just dropped some syllables, ran words together, and the way he pronounces black sounds a lot like nothing.
This man is trying his hardest to offend the people that typically vote democrat.
Because many people like the status quo and don't like change.
As the number of candidates whittles down, I'm confident Joe will continue to say stupid shit like this and he'll tank his chances just like the last two times he ran for President. He can't help himself. Dude was born to fuck up presidential campaigns.
Biden continues to lead the Democratic field with 28% support among voters who are likely to attend the Iowa caucuses in February 2020. This is nearly identical to his 27% support level in April. [Note: Biden had not yet declared his candidacy at the time of Monmouth's first 2020 poll in Iowa.] However, Warren is now closing the gap at 19% support, up from 7% four months ago. Support for Sanders has gone in the opposite direction, now at 9% compared with 16% in April. California Sen. Kamala Harris clocks in at 11% (up from 7%)
Former Vice President Joseph Biden reverses his slump following the first Democratic presidential debate and now leads the pack with 34 percent of Democrats and independent voters who lean Democratic, according to a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has 15 percent, with 12 percent for California Sen. Kamala Harris and 11 percent for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
This compares to results of a July 2 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe- ack) University National Poll, showing Biden with 22 percent, Harris with 20 percent, Warren with 14 percent and Sanders with 13 percent.
In today's results:
- Biden gets 53 percent of black Democrats, with 8 percent for Sanders, 7 percent for Harris and 4 percent for Warren;
- Women Democrats go 34 percent for Biden, 15 percent for Warren, 14 percent for Harris and 10 percent for Sanders;
- Very liberal Democrats go 29 percent for Warren, 25 percent for Biden, 15 percent for Sanders and 12 percent for Harris;
- Somewhat liberal Democrats go 34 percent for Biden, 16 percent for Sanders, 14 percent for Warren and 10 percent for Harris;
- Moderate/conservative Democrats go 39 percent for Biden, 12 percent for Harris, 9 percent for Warren and 8 percent for Sanders.
so yeah Biden has increased his overall lead from 22 to 34% in less than a month, and leads by a huge majority among black voters. But sure, I'm sure it'll turn around real soon for Warren and Harris!
His greatest assets are his name ID and association with Obama. To give him his credit, he's one of the most charismatic candidates in the field, but his campaign has been a flop so far. Tons of easy mistakes + ho-hum debate performances.
(who is polling 90%+ with democrats & whose policies look pretty moderate compared to the 2020 field). The only other thing he has is charisma (which is a lot compared to the other white male candidates lol), but I'm afraid
I was talking about a presidential election, not the primary. Hilary Clinton had great favorability numbers at this point in the primary and those tanked in the general election.
The guy isn't even a good at articulating his own policies. Pete is 100x better at orating and campaigning for a moderate platform compared to Joethen. Pete has only been a mayor. Like cmon man. Joe's been in national politics for way to long to be putting up performances and mistakes like this. He doesn't even perform well in post debate performances (of the actual debate).
In my opinion, democratic voters are picking him because they believe he speaks to a mythical white mid-western voter that no other candidate can (the "economic anxiety" voter that mainstream outlets have talked about since the 2016 elections)
