Biden risks alienating young Black voters after race remarks
AP (not Pravda) ^ | 8/8/2020 | ALEXANDRA JAFFE

Joe Biden’s controversial remarks about race this week risk alienating young Black voters who despise President Donald Trump but are not inspired by his Democratic rival.

When pressed by Errol Barnett of CBS News on whether he’d taken a cognitive test, Biden responded that the question was akin to asking the Black reporter if he would take a drug test to see if “you’re taking cocaine or not? ... Are you a junkie?”

In a later interview with National Public Radio’s Lulu Garcia-Navarro, Biden seemed to draw distinctions between Black and Hispanic populations in the U.S. “Unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things,” he told the Latina reporter.

It’s ok. His Twitter handler released a statement on Biden’s behalf. Oh, and Biden will have a black VP. Move along.

Biden has already alienated young black voters. He is white.

Oh please. They all have Stockholm syndrome. How else do you explain re-electing the same type of inner city mayor election after election with life never improving or getting worse. Makes zero sense.

What will be interesting, is how the write-in ballots are worded. If people write-in Sleepy Joe but he’s replaced with Mr X, will the vote count toward Mr. X??

The funny thing is that Biden's remark is actually mostly true. Hispanics, because the group is so widely defined, are actually more diverse in their opinions and less likely to vote Democrat.

Which is one of the reasons why Democrat policy has been to dilute them with reliable illegal aliens who are more likely to vote for gimmedat candidates.

I was wondering about filing deadlines in each state (to appear on the ballot). Ballotpedia table shows California requires 26,500 signatures for the Dem candidate, and 47,938 for a GOP candidate, and South Carolina requires a $20,000 filing fee!

The latest deadline shows to be 9/4/2020. Would the Dems be allowed to replace slow Joe after that date? Of course they would! Would Repubs be allowed to in the same situation? Probably not in Dem states!

Can you imagine the Leftist outcry if Trump had said this?

I'm about to post an article on this very issue...I think it's up to the State legislatures respectively to decide to throw out (or transfer) mail-in votes for a candidate who's been replaced.

Talk about ugly...it'll make the whole mask/no mask debate seem like nothing.

Only young? One would think that black voters of all ages would be displeased with his recent comments.

"Biden risks alienating young Black voters after race remarks"

It's doesn't make a bit of difference!!

The Demonicrats' goal is a completely fraudulent election irregardless of whether the Demonicrat nominee is Pedojoe or a turnip.

If the Demonicrats can pull off this election coup, there will be no more free elections in what used to be the United States of America.

Blacks will not be abandoning the Dem party any time soon. Indeed, they are the Dem party. When a white Dem like Biden is caught saying something racially “inappropriate”, the promise of another free pony for the community easily overcomes the faux pax.

That would be most inconventient for the dems who are already completing and stockpiling boxes full of ballots to be discovered after the election, sort of like the trunk of that car in “Repo Man”.

Prepare yourselves for two things:

a) A massive vote for Trump from blacks, and

b) A landslide for Trump that is historic- in top 1-3 electoral votes

Yet [you] must vote

Biden’s apparently available black VP choice is of women who will likely drag the ticket in their own right unless he announces Mike Robinson as his VP. Mike will do it even after protestations of noninterest. That would make him look like the Hero drafted.
