Liberals seem to fear that even one mis-step by Biden can be fatal, while on the other hand, Trump can get away with everything.

Pft, Biden has already had several missteps and his poll numbers are higher than ever today. People are gonna let a lot go to get rid of Trump. The Trump cult has been cancelled out by the Get Rid of Trump cult.

Yes? Especially the whole letting the last 50 years of Republican policy off the hook just to take a jab at Trump.

It's okay to make fun of Joe's gaffes every once in a while, guys. You all need to lighten up a little bit.

This is like a 1/5 gaffe at worst. "You ain't black" was far worse of a gaffe. An actual gaffe should have a chance of costing you support. That comment won't cost a thing. Much ado about nothing. Feel free to mock him to your hearts content, I'm just saying it's truly a comment that vast majority aren't giving a crap about.

Nothing is going to cost him support. Look at the absolute idiot he's running against. Doesn't mean we can't mock an obviously dumb statement.

The only thing I would say is that the strategy of keeping him out of sight and letting Trump hang himself is a smart one. No need to diverge from it.

If the Dems and their allies were smart they’d take a page out the GOP playbook and build on the ‘Trump has been completely tarnished by the deep state’.

Use bat#### rumours to erode support with the Qanon goofball demographic

Trump being the first racist president I took it in the same way as saying Trump is America's first white president.

Of course he isn't, but he is.

First overtly racist president who exceeds the contemporary socially acceptable threshold of what is racist is probably fair.

I mean this is the same sort of mental gymnastics MAGAs pull with Trump. It's okay to just say it was a dumb thing to say, laugh at him and move on.

Was talking with a good friend, an American, several weeks ago. I told him his country will emerge just fine. I no longer believe that. They’re f’d.

For sure. I'm with you in wanting to walk a careful line. Accountability is accountability.

But there's a large disconnect with a man honestly inquiring the validity of injecting disinfectants into the bloodstream and one calling out a racist for being a racist despite historical context, regardless of political gain and affiliation.
