Well, we could probably go back and forth posting racist right and racist left fanatics. If you're going to engage in political twitter it is a good idea to follow a healthy mix.

Oh, here's a lefty calling Trump supporters "chinks"

I guess most of you are missing the question. Did this person invoke Bidens name or infer that biden agrees with his disdain for Asians? Did he infer that if Biden was elected somehow things would be worse for Asians. 

Do you see people making racist diatribes everywhere followed by ✌️Biden2020✌️

Or ✌️Bush2008✌️Didn’t see it with other presidents. I don’t think it matters if the president is racist or not. Clearly there is a segment of the population that feels like he is a threat to subgroups or somehow they have knowledge of his underlying beliefs that we don’t or they are just making it up in their heads that he agrees with them and just can’t say it .

I don't concede that he isn't racist, and lol to the rest of your post.


He is portrayed as a racist by the democrats/Marxists and the media because they have nothing of substance themselves.  They cannot beat him on the real issues and policies; ergo:  race card.  


And yet some people literally believe this phoniness and false narrative.  Incredible.

I'm sure you think this is some gotcha moment, but I voted third party in 2016 and would have no problem doing it again.

I specifically see Biden himself saying directly racist things.


“You ain’t black...”

“Racial jungle...”

I could keep going on but you get the idea.


How about directly racist policies like the 94  crime bill that he said specifically would “keep super predators behind bars” when referring to young black men?


Does that help answer your question?

it actually doesnt even address my question, it just talks about joe biden being racist.  So you are saying joe biden is racist?


also just so we are clear BOTH parties used the super predator term and gave/give ridiculous sentences to black people under the guise of being the "law and order" party.

I am saying Biden has said and done more directly racist things than Trump has and it isn’t even close.


Yet you want to tie the racist monicker to Trump and defend Biden on it which makes no sense.


I am not saying either candidate is racist, but based on direct evidence it is obvious that Biden would swing that way more than Trump.

In the context of your posting history this is a high level insult.  Lol.  I actually agree to one degree or another with a majority of your posts.

I'll ask you a question does the Democrat party use race and identity politics for political advantage and when propagated in the media could this incite radicals in the context of gblocks post?

Ask me a similar question in the same context and you will get the same answer I gave gblock although the media outlets will be different.  Of course using CC-level logic.




  

I'd say that both sides use it to their advantage or at least try to. There's a reason both sides court the "black vote" where you get the idea they all think black people are some giant mass of people who all think the same and have the same outlook for what they want in a politician. I'd also say things like Trump's claims that he's done more for black people than any other president is a very prominent example of Rs doing the same sort of blanket pandering that, as you say, the Ds do. I'd also say that blaming one party's pandering for the actions of radicals would be akin to blaming a sports team for winning the championship when it results in those wild riot-like celebrations immediately afterwards.

Who are you kidding?  You're never going to change Fab's mind.  There is no open-mindedness toward seeing Trump as anything but an enemy.  It's similar to anyone trying to change your mind about anything suggesting Trump is less than ideal.  Sure you throw out the obligatory "I wish he'd tweet less" line that every Trumper uses, but you're as close minded as anyone suffering from TDS.

You are correct, no one will change my mind about Trump being a liar since he lies all the time lol. That doesn't mean I have TDS. It means I have eyes and ears.

I think what I've observed is he does lie more than other politicians, quite a bit more (mostly due to a huge volume of petty and trivial lies).   But two things that are critically different - there's 24x7 coverage of his lies in the media to the point of crowding out almost all other news coverage.  And, Trump is simply much less subtle and much more vulgar with his lies.

Just as an example - Trump will say he's bring down drug costs.  Compare that coverage to Obama's claims about ACA.

And there's a reason for that - if you actually covered policy and achievements, Trump's popularity would be quite a bit higher despite being horribly unlikable personally.  If he were likable, his re-election would have been a slam-dunk despite Covid.

I'm sure all 22,000+ were misconstrued, or fake news. 

LOL....you think that the Post is a good source to back up a baseless claim?  I scrolled to the first one and then left. To claim that when Trump says that his economy is strong is some sort of lie is BS.  EVERY economic indicator that his policy changes made during his 1st 3 years in offfice did create the greatest economy we have ever seen.
